A woman called our airline customer-service desk asking if she could t ake her dog on board

The customer was flummoxed I ll never be able to teach him all of that by tomorrow

Dogs and Loud Noises

If your dog is afraid of loud noises such as thunderstorms or firecrackers you may need some advanced training to help him overcome his fears This training can also be used for dogs who are afraid of doorbells sirens motorcycles etc Your dog can overcome

his fears if you gradually expose him to the stimulus that scares him If your dog is afraid of more than one noise start by determining which scares him the most and

work on this first Record the sound that scares your dog Then expose him to the sound gradually by playing the recording at a volume low enough so as not to frighten him While he hears the unpleasant sound create a pleasant environment by using food a toy a gentle touch or lavish praise Each time your dog calms down and stops paying

attention to the sound praise him and increase the volume slightly If your dog does not relax and you have waited a few minutes turn the volume down When he is relaxed

praise him give him a treat and keep the recording at that volume for at least five minutes before increasing the volume again Begin with short sessions but increase the

volume of the recording at each new session Over a period of time lenghthen the sessions until your dog is capable of facing the recorded noise at a level similar to the real thing If possible expose your dog to the real stimulus gradually For example if your dog is afraid of firecrackers or lawn mowers create that sound 100 yards away

Calm him and get him accustomed to the sound Gradually decrease the distance of the sounds until he doesnt respond to the sound occurring in front of his home Remember

to keep your dog on a leash while doing these practice sessions If you do not have control of your dog and he is scared he could run off From AKCorg
