bad weather doggie Can't Post

hello

i got a wonderful golden retriever but the problem with him is that he is dreadfully afraid of

thunder and lighning. i've been reading the net on dog tips but somehow it don't really works.

so if anyone can recommend any good training schools for my dog will appreciate it.

i just need him to be calm when there's rain, thunder and loud noises



thanks

well let the dog face his fears. how old is he? there is post here on dogs that are afraid of thunder. try the method as it works. if it doesnt work your dog, then maybe u have to try harder

dog's being afraid of thunder is also a psychological problem which is much similar to human who had phobia.

phobia might due to unpleasant expericence or naturally born to be so.

some dogs are afraid of thunder, while other do not.

my mongrel aren't afraid of thunder at all and i always assume that all mongrel behave the same.

did ur Golden behave badly during the thunder are he is just frigthen and shiver?

maybe u could try to put him indoor, distract his attention by playing or feeding him.

or maybe let him listen to some music (which are meant for dogs)

unfortunately, i don;t think we had any training school for this kind of dog behavioural problem.

i'm not experience in this, but just some suggestion.
