I’ve had two dog guides, both from Leader, and they did originally show some
anxiety durring thunder storms. In fact, my first dog and I got caught in a
fast moving thunderstorm on one of our very first walks in Wheaton. I had
decided to go to the neighborhood Convenient store about three blocks from
home.. We were almost there when thunder and rain showers started. I sat him
down gently and put my arm around his neck and scratched his ears while softly
assuring him we were OK. He settled down and never had an issue with thunder
again. But then, I suppose that my temperament of thoroughly enjoying thunder
storms was readily sensed by Jake.
Holland, my second dog, never quite completely got over the thunderstorm
anxiety syndrome, although it did diminish significantly after several such
storms and my reaction. But, I had brought Jake home in April whereupon we had
an opportunity to experience a thunderstorm immediately. Holland came home (to
Superior) in mid October whence thunderstorms are very rare affairs in northern
Wisconsin. So, Holland was with me at least seven months before thunderstorms
would occur. I do believe that was a bit too much an upheaval of his calm
wintry environment. Still, he was a trooper and carried on with his duties.
