¿Cómo AYUDAR a un PERRO con FOBIA a los RUIDOS FUERTES? 🐶✅ #perroasustado #comportamientocanino

In terms of longer term measures, we would be talking about creating a safe zone and desensitizing it to noise. Creating a safe zone involves setting up an area of the house in a very similar way to what we have explained, which we can do immediately, but which is like a cave like space that the dog can hide in and that further muffles the noise. In order for the dog to voluntarily choose to hide in that area when noises occur, we are going to have to work on it. If we also cover this area with something that muffles the sound a little more, it can help create this cave like effect, a refuge effect, and make the dog feel safer in that area when the storm arrives. The second measure that is very interesting, especially because in the long term it is what helps dogs manage noises better, is noise desensitization. We are going to try to gradually expose the dog to sounds, always associating them with something positive. We should never trigger a negative response in the dog. That is, the dog has to hear the sound and be aware that something positive is going to arrive at the same time as the sound.
