You can also do a couple of things. Play a game with some fun treats only when it gets stormy. Or fill Kongs with a special treat and give them only during a storm. This will make your dog look forward to good things that happen during storms.
I agree with making it no big deal. Yawn a lot. Ignore the storm. Try to play with your dog. Definately don't carry him around. That just rewards him for being scared.
Loki acts wierd during storms too. Not too differently, but he likes to sit next to us and normally he'd rather be playing or whatever. We usually just give him a bully stick and sit with him and watch TV and he's fine. |
