How do I help keep my dog calm during a thunderstorm? General Dog Discussions
I have a 6 year old dachshund and she is terrified of thunder storms. When thunder sounds, she runs for someones lap, under a bed, or just runs around the house trying to find a "safe place". She also cries. I try my best to help her by petting her and comforting her when she does run to me, but she ends up running off when thunder sounds again usually (sometimes she does stay). Is there anything I can do to make her more calm during a storm? Is it natural for all dogs to be scared of storms like this?
