If your pet is nervous because of fireworks or thunderstorms, try crea ng anchors that help the pet feel safe and secure. Playing frequency music (which will be discussed next) while si ng with your pet in a calm area away from windows helps them to anchor feelings of safety and security to that environment. The key to this work is to repeat this behavior o en when there is no nega ve s mula on. Then when thunderstorm season or holidays come around, con nue the same anchors, the pet will have less anxiety as they are anchored to a posi ve behavior. 3. Distrac on works well in some situa ons. Engaging your dog's brain in work will help him focus on you and things he knows, rather than on the unknown around him that's frightening him. This is NOT the me to begin new training. Reinforce tricks your dog already knows and can earn rewards for. Reward for simple commands like sit, stand, lie down, shake, sit up, roll over and other tricks they enjoy. Another distrac on technique for dogs who are highly food mo vated is using puzzle toys like a treat ball, tug jug, or a frozen Kong toy stuffed with organic almond bu er. The goal is to help the pet associate frightening things, like loud noises or strangers coming over, with highly valued rewards. The event goes from being scary to tolerable. 4. Wholetones.

This works by ghtly fi ng the pet, giving the feeling of con nuous pressure that signals the dog to become calm. This works well for travel anxiety and noise anxiety. This works par cularly well alongside other natural solu ons as each enhances the benefits of the other. Wrapping the pet in an ace bandage that applies pressure on key acupuncture points is effec ve as well. 6. Therapeu c Massage. There are several effec ve techniques. Some pets enjoy long, slow strokes that soothe the nerves. A popular dog massage method is called Touch created by Linda Tellington-Jones . It is a method based on circular movements of the fingers and hands all over the body. The intent of the Touch is to ac vate the func on of the cells and awaken cellular intelligence." Interes ngly, studies have shown that pe ng a dog or cat can help calm the pet owners nerves too, what a win win! 7. There are a variety of pheromones for dogs and cats that help reduce anxiety and misbehavior. Read labels carefully for toxic chemicals that may be listed in the inert ingredients. 8. There are herbs that are known to calm dogs. Valerian is an herb that can calm a pet and make them sleepy. Reading the label for ALL the ingredients, including the inac ve is vital. Avoid products with names you can't read or understand and avoid propylene glycol. 9. Bach Flower Remedies are extracts from flowers. There are 38 different ones with different effects, and many help with fear or anxiety. They are easy to use and very safe. 10. Melatonin will help some dogs who are afraid of thunderstorms or have other noise phobias. With so many safe and effec ve alterna ve therapies, pharmaceu cal op ons are rarely needed. Regarding depression, it is rare to see pets suffer from long- term depression. Pets that mope around, are lethargic and not ea ng are more likely to have a serious medical condi on. Seek a good veterinary work up and rule out things like kidney or liver disease, arthri s and cancer.
