My experience has been that trying to comfort them when they are fearful (even though it's the natural response) only feeds the fear. Turning up the volume on the TV may do the same thing by adding to the noise. As the pack leader, if you don't respond to the noises, you may find the dogs following suit. There are also pheremones and a special shirt that are reputed to help. I can attest that pheremones helped with Tallulah's separation anxiety, but we haven't had an issue with noises... |
