duke my senior golden is terrified of thunderstorms. when i brought him home from his rescuers, they warned me, so if i know a storm is coming, i give him melatonin and keep him in the bedroom with me, with the radio or tv on. i have come home to tipped human bed(trying to get behind/under it) and a knocked over card table. poor dog. alex was spooked one time by an outside overly filled trash can, he kept circling and growling since it wasn't in it's usual space.
