Hi jin, an article i found on reader's digest..

KEEP CRITTERS CALM WHEN IT STORMS
Thunder rumbles, and your pooch cowers under the kitchen table. How can you help? Pets take their cues from us, says Kathy Diamond Davis, author of Therapy Dogs, who offers these tips:

KEEP HIM SAFE - Fear of storms may stem from situations in which a pet was left in harm's way. Never leave him out in a storm.

START EARLY - When u help puppies react well to storms, they're less likely to b scared as they grow.

CUDDLE HER - She may really fear being left alone as it thunders.

DISTRACT HIM - If he's having fun, he's less likely to focus on the storm. If yr pet is so frantic that he tries to escape or is destructive, keep him in a crate or other confined space if that calms him.

DON'T PUNISH - a scared pet

PUMP UP BACKGROUND NOISE - Turning on a fan may help soothe a dog.

If all else fails, talk to your vet about medication - Lucia Raatma

Well, here's my contribution. Hope it's useful to u and others tat may b experiencing to same problem.

maybe freaking out may not b the problem after all. could it b habitual scratching of the door? perhaps u could try putting on bootie 2 prevent her from scratching.

Hi jin.. ok, on a serious note. wld like to apologise for the ungentlemanly conduct but some shit brains ass holes just deserve to b kicked in the ass. i'm sharing with you my little experience with my not so fury beagle. yes, like u, i wld consider this an impulse buy. before i had him, life was like going to the movies, a game of tennis or badminton and lazing ard pretty much like a bum. but once he came in, it became total hell. my whole lifestyle changed. visited movies a lot less, hardly played any games n did a lot of housework!!! in a way, i get to save $$$ on movie tickets, took up cycling as an alternative and get to burn caleries cleaning up the house. we can do a lot of research n think we know alot abt beagles but knowing and actually living with one is totally two different thing. beagles can show u how a nice cosy home b turned upside down. tried to rehome him twice but fail cause of the way he looks at me n i cant bear to let him go. beagles r v extreme, yes they maybe a racal in many ways, but they will always b the ( ... )
