Hello, I have a friend whose dog Mindy was afraid of the rain, thunder and lightning. She would always go and either hide in the bathroom, under a table, or get in the bed with you and push one person out of the bed, if there were two! She was afraid of the dark too. Lisa (her owner) would always turn a night light on so that she would go to sleep and not hear the storms. I have not yet experienced a storm with my dog Dale, but I think he will be fine. You could also try turning on a radio next to their crate so that they can not hear any other noises.. That is what I do for Dale during the day while I am at work and it goes right to sleep! Hope this helps !
