Sorry, I can't help you with that I am afraid of the storms too. I have been trying to shake that fear for years. I put the breaks on everything when I starts to storm. I almost typed lol, but no joke here.

One of our dogs is like that. When it starts to thunder and/or lightning she likes to be in a darken room. She usually doesn't like windows during that time and likes to be with people. We haven't tried it but I know there's something called a thunder shirt that's supposed to help with anxiety that comes with storms. I think you can get it at Pet Smart or PetCo.

I don't know.....I love a good thunderstorm, but when there is to much lightening, I get scared.....maybe your dog is sensitive to the energy of the storm....I have a friend whose dog will look out the window and bark when a storm is coming....when the storm get closer he would hide out....

One of my dogs is scared too.  I did buy the thunder shirt, didn't work on him. :'( the only other thing, if he isREALLY afraid your vet can prescribe him something before the storm comes.

My dog is a jack russel terrier and she is comforted by putting her in her kennel.
It's small so she feels safe.
