CLKD, talking of dogs and thunder reminded of my little Yorkie ( passed away now).
He was terrified of thunder.....then I read an article about how to calm dogs during a thunder storm. It said to ignore them, don't give them eye contact,keep yawning as though you are totally bored, no stroking ETC.......
Well it was like a miracle, my Yorkie was transformed into a totally chilled out dog.
So when we got another dog, and she showed signs of being afraid of thunder, I followed the same rules........and.....it just doesn't work on her
