It’s been a tough summer for one of my Shetland Sheepdogs. Tyler is very afraid of storms, with their rumbles of thunder. Fireworks also, drive him into a panting and pacing panic. This year we’ve had some doozies of storms, and our local communities have fireworks each weekend in July. It seems unending. Counter-conditioning the noise, using a Thundershirt, both helped a little, but Tyler was still quite anxious. I was concerned, especially as he is soon to be 10 years old.
