re: Anybody have a dog scared of storms?

Our sweet old golden retriever of 13 years is scared of storms. Pooped in the house last night. Goes up the stairs and hides ina corner, etc. She was a rescue dog as a pup, shelter folks found her under a house, so that probably has something to do with it.

We have a rescue. He can care less about the weather. While he’s quirky on other things and still barks at me everyday, he sleeps through every storm.

Wrap their body in an elastic bandage and then pull a tight t-shirt over them ... the compression has a calming effect.

Yes. He's 84 lbs. He buries himself in my closet. Fireworks are worse.

My smaller, older dog doesn’t pay any attention. The big one, a male, gets frightened and wants to be close to you .

Boykin spaniel who duck hunts and let's you shoot a shotgun 6" from her is scared of anything related to rain. Smell of rain and she starts shaking. Tries to climb on you the whole time. Husky/shepherd mix is opposite. Couldn't care less about the rain but deathly afraid of guns and the vaccuum cleaner. Go figure.

Our sweet little pound mutt is scared of storms and fireworks. She has to be by our side through it and for the next 2-3 hours after.

Our Golden Retriever is oblivious to it all. But then, she’s the same dumbass that is entertained by shiny things and shadows for hours at a time. She does not chase a ball. She chases the ball’s shadow. She does not chase birds. She chases their shadows. I have watched her turn her back to the sun and be entertained by the shadow of her tail wagging for more than an hour. Dumbest dog I’ve ever seen.

My mutt hates storms and fireworks. Then just to round it out she hates power outages. Guess that is too quiet.

My dog ain’t a bitch. But she is literally a bitch.

Your dog is scared of storms? Mine usually runs out in the rain and plays around when they hear thunder

One dog is. Literally scarred the shite and blood out of her. Usually one storm she shakes and I just pat her. But this was back to back to back to back. Back to the fourth square for you math nerds. My other dog is a German shepherd. She goes out and plays in it. That dog isn't scared of anything. But if you dry mop or dust, it attacks the lower part.

The scared dog is a pit. I know I know. I should have let them put her down. I didn't choose the dog. But everyone at the vet loved her. She was just going person to person wanting to be pet. The Sheppard hates anyone with a mask on. Exp. Halloween mask. She's fine when you take it off.

So if I ever have masked robbers break in my house, I am covered with the Sheppard. The pit would just hide in the closet and ask for a trazodon.
