狗狗怕打雷的症状叫 Thunder-phobic,是一种Thunderstorm anxiety

这是一篇来自于伊利诺伊大学香槟分校兽医学院的文章,属于比较权威的,老一点但是比较经典

解决的办法:

1。给药。有些狗狗可以通过吃药缓解。但是这是有争议的。我的想法,不到万不得已,不要吃药。

2。训练。在不打雷的天气就训练他听命于一个口令,呆在自己的床上不动。等打雷的时候就用上这个命令

Aside from medical treatment, behaviorists recommend counter-conditioning and desensitization. "To counter-condition your dog, teach her to settle and relax on command. Train her to go to her bed and lay down on command when it's not thundering, so when the thunder comes, she already understands that command."

3。在狗狗害怕的时候不要充当保护神的角色,这一点,如果真想矫正,需要狠狠心去做。就是在狗狗害怕得哭的时候,不要抱抱,不要给零食等等reward他这种行为。

Carpenter explains that often pet owners do the opposite; by offering a pet treats, praise, and consolation petting when the animal is panting, pacing, and whimpering, they are essentially rewarding the pet for acting anxious.

4。用雷声的录音来训练狗狗,不打雷的天气,放录音给狗狗听。从小音量开始,慢慢加大音量。这个可以与口令的训练配合着进行吧。

Carpenter also recommends playing CDs or audio tapes of thunderstorms to desensitize a pet to the noise. "Start it out quietly, and then play it a little louder. At the same time, tell the dog to go to its bed and relax, and reward them for lying down and relaxing."

5。我在pet store看到有一种马甲叫anxiety wrap,给狗狗穿上也可以帮助他缓解焦虑

下雨天不愿出去,是否可以先试试帮狗狗在家里先打湿了脚,再带出去?
