Don’t laugh. Until you’ve spent a sleepless night while your dog freaks because of the thunderstorm happening outside, you may try anything to calm him down. Recently, I’ve searched, downloaded, and become sold on an app for my dog. Ridiculous.
Yes, fuzz butt has acquired a phobia of thunderstorms. It occurred in his second year of life so it was a surprise at first on what was happening. He’s always parked at overhead airplanes (we must be under a flight pattern), but other than he is a fairly easy going dog.
Add to this new development that I live in an apartment building where when fuzz butt barks, he wakes up a building of nice people. Nice people I have to face in the morning.
I want to be a good neighbor. Hence, the need to calm my dawg in the house down. I’m too cheap to go buy a thunder shirt that I’ve seen advertised; so in the middle of the night — out of desperation — I downloaded a white noise app for dogs.
It works. It worked that night and it has worked during subsequent storms. A definite positive of modern technology.
Let me know if you have tried anything else that works.

Intriguing. I wonder if this might have worked for our pooch (long in doggie heaven), who was deathly afraid of thunder. I am glad it worked for yours. 🐶

I was surprised how well it worked. Did you ever use the thunder shirt? I have wondered if that would work.

I had never heard of it until I read about it in your post, so we never had the opportunity to try it out.
