Have you tried one of the plug-in diffusers, such as Feliwell For Dogs, that produce pheromones that calm stressed dogs. A friend adopted a dog from abroad with the same problem as yours and the diffuser worked well.Started early this year.
Were having trouble with our Lil' Sky.She's absolutely terrified of the loud booms and firecrackers.
She was adopted from a war zone city.Gunshots are normal.
Giving and showing her safe places to go hasn't helped.
So far her favorite spot is my bed hiding under the sheets.I'm alright with that.
She's really been missing Sophie and Trub.They always protected her.
Were missing them as well.Wishing I could go to a shelter and adopt a new one.But it wouldn't be fair to them.
That will be my first agenda when we get this move over with.I can't be without a dog.
Just made her an appmt for Friday to get her a physical and some medication to help her cope.
Munky.

Thank you for the info I'll have to look that up.
Never heard of it before.Sounds like a good idea if it works.
We have several aroma therapy diffuser's that are always in use.
Do the dog one's smell? I like Lilac.Will the house smell like a kennel?
Sky is a 5Lb, if that Chihuahua.Their known for being tremble chin shakers.

Dogs (and other animals) are very intuitive. Over here there are assistance dogs who are trained to know when their owner is about to have an epileptic attack or if a diabetic is about to go into a coma, and even some who can detect very early breast cancer, to name but a few illnesses. A neighbour where I used to live had an assistance Labrador who fetched his medicine at the right times without being told.I went in town for a post op exam that didn't exist. There was someone on the doctor's clerical staff that made the change and forgot to call me to let me know. I wasn't happy and neither was Winthrop or my driver. So I leave, head for Winthrop to get my medications. Then come home and was exhausted. I am laying down and hear Teddy whimpering right next to my bed. He wants up on my bed. So Pirate lifts him up and puts him on my bed. He got right on my arm and changed his tone as I patted him. Before you know it we are both asleep for an hour. Just having him next to me is such good medicine. Even Pirate says the same thing. When he is having a bad day with his neuropathy, without even being called to his room, Teddy can jump up on his bed and for some strange reason beyond my understanding, he always knows when one of us needs him. And he know who needs him the most. That dog, what can I say. I just love him.
He is an eight years old All White Maltese. And very YAPPY. But he always seems to know when either one of us is sleeping. Then he gives out that little tiny Yap to let us know when someone is at our door instead of one of the other five doors in the alcove. Pirate wants to get a newborn kitten so Teddy can have a playmate. Animals know when they are dealing with a baby and makes friends with them, rather that harm them. I think it is a good idea.
I am open to all suggestions.
Munky, with the Fourth of July coming up, I've been seeing ads for Thunder Shirts for dogs that are supposed to keep them calm. I remember LP using one for her dog and she said it worked well. Might be worth a try.Started early this year.

Sky was prescribed Trazodone 50mg tablets.
She's to take 1/4 of the pill 1to2 hours before the stressful events start.
My son gave her a dose last night.It worked for what the neighbors were setting off.She heard them but didn't try to run and hide.No shaking.
The big test will be on the 4th.The city is putting on a display that will be a 2 hour show.We get the whole view right in out back yard.
