[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 875754, member: 5106"] Steffie was afraid until the day we had to put her down at the age of 12 . I tried everything I could think of even the different desensitising drugs out there. I think the one thing you can do is be calm, ignore any thunder or gunshots you hear so it becomes less stressful to her .As well as what Angie said, make sure you are with her when you know these situations are going to occur. I remember one time we went to a bday party a couple hours away and left the dogs outside as it was a beautiful evening, well thank goodness they all knew Steff at that time and she had a coller with my name and contact #'s as someone must have been shooting and she wandered a few miles away from home. They called me and I asked if they could put her in out home as it was unlocked . I was very grateful, and sent brought the lady a huge bouquet of flowers. After that I always put her in the house even if I had to rune quickly to the neighbors etc. Friends of ours lost their dog to being scared and hi8ding, he crawled under a grain bin during a thunderstorm and couldn't get back out. By the time the neighbor found him he was dead and had bloody paws from trying to dig out from under there . :cry2: All 3 of the dogs we have now are not scared of anything even Nikkle ,which makes it much less stressful on me . Good luck CKC ,you have your work cut out for you . :( [/QUOTE]
