Dogs have well-developed hearing. Unfortunately, sometimes this advantage turns into a disadvantage.
We are talking about cases when some sharp sound appears. For example, thunder or fireworks.
Many pets begin to panic greatly in such a situation.
The owner should never ignore this condition of the four-legged friend. It is necessary to act so that the dog can more easily survive difficult moments for him.
What should a person do?
The main rule: during a thunderstorm, a dog should never be left alone in a room.
There must be a person in the room with the pet, otherwise the four-legged friend will face even more serious stress.
It is possible that the animal will follow the example of a calm owner and stop being afraid.
In addition, it is worth sitting next to the dog and start petting it. In this case, the pet will become even calmer.
What to do during a walk?
If the sound of a thunderstorm catches the animal and its owner during a walk, the person should immediately check the condition of the collar.
The thing is that a frightened dog may try to run away. And if the leash and collar are not strong enough, then the pet will obviously be able to realize its intention.
Therefore, you need to make sure that the devices are strong. You should also mentally prepare yourself for possible sudden movements from the dog.
