If distraction and getting them busy eating treats, playing games, training, etc., and desensitization over time don't work, try the Thundershirt. I was doing a lot of loud and noisy work around the house yesterday with things falling and breaking (!) even and lots of doors being open and closed, vacuums, other cleaning implements going and Tibbe got a bit unsettled. I stuck his Thundershirt on him and he went to sleep. I wonder if that thing is impregnated with drugs or something, the way it puts him out. You might try it one yours.
