A friend wrote to us, "My Samoyed dog is particularly afraid of loud noises, such as thunder or firecrackers.

Samoyed

Every time there is a thunder, our family My Samoyed will be very frightened and tremble all over, and I must find someone to accompany it. What should I do if my Samoyed dog is afraid of Juzan?"

Excuse me. This friend’s attention, but first of all we have to prove one thing: we are not experts, we have just raised some dogs and have some experience. We never dare to call ourselves experts.

To be honest, my dog ​​is also afraid of being struck by thunder!

1. Generally speaking, it is normal for Samoyed dogs to be afraid of thunder. When a dog is afraid of being struck by thunder, he will crawl under the floor or desk, wherever he can (this is because the den in the wolf period was a hole), and will tremble frequently with his ears to the back. If there is a thunderstorm, and there is no suitable place in the house for escape, the dog will rush out of the house and its whereabouts are unknown.

These reactions are normal. If the dog is afraid of all sounds, such as: beacons, explosions, trams, cars, sirens, etc., then it cannot be used as a service dog (such as hounds, shepherds, police dogs, etc.) or guide dogs, etc.).

On the other hand, if you are not afraid of other sounds but thunder, you have inherited the nature of your ancestors to this day. Therefore, if your Samoyed is only afraid of thunder, this is normal, but if it is afraid of all sounds, it is not so good.

2. How to overcome the shortcomings of dogs being afraid of loud noises. Generally speaking, the reason why Samoyed dogs are afraid of these sounds is that the owners overprotect their dogs, or they fail to let them go within 90 days after birth. It goes out to interact with the outside world, so it will be afraid of people, things, and things except its owner. To solve this problem, it is best to take your Samoyed dog out for walks more often, and when thunder is struck (if the owner is at home), it is best to turn up the volume of the music so that the dog cannot hear the thunder. As long as it is afraid of the sound of thunder, if things go on like this, it will develop the habit of not being afraid of thunder, and try not to hug and comfort it as much as possible!

3. If it is a sick dog, you should pay attention to taking care of it. The above methods are for healthy dogs. If some dogs are sick, such as heart disease (it is also common with people, it is very mysterious).

There is no way but to accompany it. EspeciallyNever leave your dog alone on the balcony during a thunderstorm! If no one is around, it is best to give it a relatively hidden place to avoid, otherwise your dog may die suddenly due to excessive fear!

Finally, let me introduce you to a little trick: If your Samoyed dog is not afraid when it is struck by thunder, you may wish to hold the dog in your arms, stroke and comfort it a lot, the effect is very good. Best; if not, you can also use some snacks to distract the Samoyed dog's attention, and gradually the dog will adapt and calm down.
