poodle (details)
Dogs have much better hearing than humans. People often use their sensitive hearing to work, but it will also become a weakness of dogs. Some dogs are very sensitive to sound, and when it comes to thunder and setting off firecrackers, they will show great anxiety, while others will bark to express their insecurity. What should your dog do if this happens?
When dogs have a keen sense of hearing, what sounds normal to us humans is not normal to dogs. If you are worried that your dog will have problems because of sensitivity to sound, then parents suggest that you can try to stuff it with cotton. Of course, we can't stuff the dog with cotton 24 hours a day. It's just that when the dog is afraid, such as setting off firecrackers, thunder and lightning, it is stuffed with a little cotton to make it less stimulated by sound.
Some dog parents also think that many dogs are very sensitive by nature, and they are noisy and quiet. It seems impossible to change the dog's nature, so whenever this irregular and explosive sound makes the dog anxious, the owner had better appease the dog, divert its attention, or hug the dog to give it enough sense of security. The premise is that dogs are afraid of sound, and dogs that don't respond at all don't have to do this.
Some pet parents will try to train their dogs to be exposed to these sensitive sounds from an early age. For example, telephone ringing, door ringing, firecrackers and so on. Start with the smallest and least irritating sound and the weakest training, and slowly familiarize the dog with these sounds, so that he knows that under normal circumstances, none of these sounds can cause harm to him. Slowly let the pet dog grow up and don't be so afraid of these sounds.
