re: Looking for tips on applying some kind of tape/barrier on a door to prevent dog

He’s old and gets freaked out by loud noises (especially thunder). So every time it rains and we’re not home, he goes nuts. Crates don’t work cause he’ll rub his nose raw trying to get out, plus shite everywhere.

I'm having the same issue now. He's a 13 yo lab and just in the past year or two has started getting bad anxiety about weather and rain. He had never chewed/tore up anything inside then randomly shredded every closed door in the house while we were at work during a thunderstorm. I considered putting something over the doors but was worried he would just try to go through walls. I started crating him and he turned the crate in to a pile of bent metal. I bought a new crate and now give him Ace when there is rain on the forecast. He's a really great dog other than his anxiety during bad weather.
