| Welcome to yt. My only suggestion would be to try and desensitize him by making the noise then giving a treat. Eventually he might come to associate the noise as a good thing instead of bad.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Welcome. Until you can desensitize him you could try a thundershirt. My Pixie became afraid of thunder, then rain and any loud noises. The thunder shirt helps.

| My baby was afraid of squeaky toys when she was a pup. We didn't really try to desensitize her. As she got a little older and felt more secure noises stopped bothering her. Encouraging her with praise and treats will help. Try not to expose her to things that frighten her unless you have time to work on her confidence when she is experiencing it, otherwise you may find the reactions getting worse. |
