Fortunately I don't have that problem. My dogs really don't care about thunder.
The first thing to remember however is not to make a big deal out of it.
Turn on a radio or Tv.
Play with him.
Give him treats.
Don't coddle him and tell him "that's OK".
It will make him think something is wrong and his behavior is justified.
I keep him down the basement with lights on, Radio on and the TV on.... he doesn't care..
He won't take eat or take treats not even pigs ears or bully sticks... nothing when it's thundering.
Then he won't go outside for HOURS after the last thunder (so then he pees in the basement if I take my eyes off of him for a second)
