Seven couldn't care less if there is thunder and lightning going on outside. He just doesn't want to get wet and will hold it until the rain stops.
The only thing he gets worked up about are guys that fit a certain profile, but I've been working on that with him and he's getting MUCH better.
My childhood dog Midnight's nerves got so bad from thunder and lightning (and even the sound of the water pipers warming up), that we had to put her on medication. Eventually it became too much for her during a nasty storm we had one year and she had an attack and died.
It was so horrible that I wouldn't allow my parents to bring another dog in the house for years because I didn't want to go through anything that hurt that much again.
