Teach your dog storms are nothing to fear. 

Thunderstorms are one most of the common phobias that canines face. These storms leave them quivering, panting, drooling, or at worst, destroying your home. With an ability to hear twice as many frequencies as people, at a capability over four times our own, it’s no wonder that so many pups struggle to be calm during a booming storm. Sound is an incredibly powerful sensory pathway for dogs, and when channeled properly, it can be used to effectively communicate calm, instead of fear. 

Since we can’t quiet the storm, the answer is to re-train the fear response. Thunderstorms uses soothing, specially re-arranged classical music synced to the natural rhythm of a relaxed mammalian nervous system–in combination with background thunderstorm sound effects–to effectively communicate that storms are nothing to fear.

Sit through the storms with zen.

Since 2008, thousands of veterinarians and dog trainers worldwide have recommended the slow and simplified classical compositions of Through a Dog’s Ear. The breakthrough research behind Through a Dog’s Ear shows that the canine nervous system is extremely sensitive to sound — and that special arrangements of classical music have a profound soothing impact on anxious dogs. This clinically tested canine music is formulated for your dog’s calm behavior, as well as your discerning ear.

Thunderstorm phobia is a very common condition among dogs all over the world. The terror that results can be an incredibly distressing, debilitating problem not only for dogs, but also for their owners who feel powerless to help. This groundbreaking desensitization tool will teach your dog to associate positive feelings with thunderstorms rather than feeling fearful, and will help to gradually reduce your dog’s fear when exposed to these sounds.

The Thunderstorms album includes a verbal introduction by Victoria and sounds of thunderstorms (mild, moderate, and heavy) set against the backdrop of the Through a Dog’s Ear clinically-tested calming music. An adjoining booklet contains Victoria’s positive reinforcement training protocol. The goal is to re-frame your dog’s perception of the sounds of thunder and associate these sounds with a calm feeling.

When used properly and implemented in conjunction with the included behavioral modification protocols included, you can rehabilitate your thunder-phobic dog, or prevent thunder-phobia from ever developing in younger dogs.

About Canine Noise Phobia Series

The Canine Noise Phobia series (CNP) is an innovative desensitization training tool that combines three distinctive elements for the treatment and prevention of sound-sensitivities and noise-phobias:

• Progressive sound effects (distant/close)
• Specially-designed psychoacoustic music (Through a Dog’s Ear)
• Reward-based reinforcement protocols (Victoria Stilwell, Positively.com)

CNP can be used in two distinctive ways:

1. Habituation: To help prevent your puppy or dog from
   developing fears or phobias to fireworks, thunderstorms,
   and city sounds.
2. Desensitization: To help your dog overcome an already-
   established fear or phobia of fireworks, thunderstorms,
   and city sounds.

Training protocols for Thunderstorms have been created by Victoria Stilwell, star of Animal Planet’s It’s Me or the Dog, and author of Train Your Dog Positively.
