Both of our boys are completely unaffected by them (knock on wood). I had a Jack Russell terrier though, that just went NUTS during thunderstorms. He would go outside, would NOT come in and would run around and round the back yard, jumping up like he was trying to bite the sky. It was absolutely horrible. He was crate trained and slept at night in his crate, so I would have to put him in his crate (if I could catch him), with a blanket over it (to keep out the flashing light) and still sometimes he would bark like crazy, especially if he could hear the thunder. I would also put a fan right beside his crate to try to muffle the thunder. At those times, we would put him in the back of the house, as far away from our bedroom as possible, and we turned on 2 fans in our bedroom so that we could sleep. It was just awful!!! I hope to never ever have a dog that reacts that way to thunder
