I just heard this one. My family had a dog that was scared to death by lightening and thunder. I looked online and did all the cures that were suggested there including:
- Harp music
- Soft music
- Small doses of melatonin (worked somewhat)
- Caging in a covered cage
Nothing really worked. Poor Sassie was just terrified and to see this brave guardian and faithful friend so sacred was heartbreaking.
She is gone now, but I just heard this cure. Maybe it will help someone else. I know this sounds weird, but here it is.
Get a plain white cotton tee shirt (has to be "white" for some reason). Put the white tee shirt on the dog.
Now the explanation I have heard for this is that the static electricity in the air, the cotton of the shirt, it all does something that calms the dog.
I know of one family that heard this and tried it and said that it worked like a miracle. If anyone else has tried it or anything else that works I'd like to know.
