[QUOTE="DDD, post: 417025, member: 35"] Yes, Ace is our boxer. He has never liked rain, wind, storms but never has he gone bonkers like last night...and it wasn't that bad. I "think" that it may have been an accumulation of anxiety because we did not come home straight from work last night. He had almost two hours before we got back from dinner. The other problem is our house. We ony have one room (the computer room...formerly difficult child bedroom) that has carpeting and drapes that block the view. Everywhere else there are sheers or verticals that allow the flash to show and laminate which I assume triggers vibrations. I really believe that anxiety medications would improve his life. We're not exactly sure what happened in the 18 months or so before we got him but obviously his needs weren't met. husband does not want "his dog" to take medications. The Vet did prescribe doggie Prozac which he took for awhile but there didn't seem to be any improvement. He really is a needy dog. When we are at work he goes into his crate when the weather is bad. I truly am too "mature" to miss sleep and still function the next day so if it happens again I will override husband and get some Rx to ease his fears. Starbie, your method sounds terrific but since I'm not home it's not practical for me. Maybe a few years ago but I'm kinda sapped out from parenting. Understatement. DDD [/QUOTE]
