How to calm your dog during thunder
There is nothing worse than seeing your pup being scared or stressed. Unfortunately, so many dogs are afraid of thunder & storms. But fortunately, there are things you can do to relieve stress & make them feel safe & comfortable.

Create a Safe space
Set up a cozy area away from windows and doors where your dog feels secure. Include familiar items like their bed, toys, and blankets to make them feel comfortable. A weighted dog blanket can also help with this, as it’s familiar & feels like a secure nest.
Distractions
Engage your dog with interactive toys, games, or training exercises to divert their attention from the storm.
Draw the curtains / blinds
Close the curtains or blinds to minimise visual stimuli and reduce the impact of lightning flashes.
