Treat Noise Phobia in Dogs

Many dog owners have to deal with the frantic
woes of a stressed pooch that becomes completely
possessed during a thunder storm or other loud
noise disturbance. Noise phobia is a common
problem in dogs, and although it is not harmful
in itself, it causes the dog much stress and
anxiety, and can lead to dangerous,
life-threatening situations should the dog run
away in its efforts to escape the noise. Many a
dog has been lost like this, some with fatal
consequences. I myself have owned no less than
five dogs that I have personally plucked from a
busy roadside on various occasions, and was
unable to reunite with their original owners.
Four out of those five dogs suffered from noise
phobia, and when the thunder rolled I had to
dive for the doggie calmettes (two have sadly
passed on after spending a long and happy life
as my little orphans).

The issue with administering calming drugs and
potions is that it doesn't solve the problem,
and if you are not around to administer the
medication, your dog will still be distressed by
loud noises. Additionally, if you are not there
to calm your pooch or offer any comfort it may
take fright and run off.

However, help is at hand in the form of the Clix
Noises & Sounds Therapy CD For Dogs. This
fireworks and noises desensitisation training CD
is an innovative solution to helping noise phobia
issues in dogs - in fact, it could possibly work
to desensitise other animals as well, such as
horses.

The Clix Noises & Sounds Therapy CD is
specifically useful for desensitising puppies to
different noises and sounds to prevent noise
phobia developing at a later stage.

For dogs that already suffer from noise phobia,
the problem can be remedied by introducing them
to the sounds on the CD at low volume, and then
slowly increasing the volume level to
desensitise your pet to become accustomed to the
surrounding din.

The CD has a total of 30 different sound tracks
covering most common noises that your dog is
likely to experience, divided into 4 different
noise categories. The following categories are
covered: Bangs, which includes fireworks, gun
shots, and thunder storms; transport, which
includes the noises of trains, planes, buses,
and road work activities; general household
noise, like the sound of a lawnmower and vacuum
cleaner; and people noises, such as children
screaming and shouting, noisy crowds, and crying
babies. The Clix Noises & Sounds Therapy CD for
Dogs comes with a training manual that offers
guidance on the most effective use of the noise
CD to desensitise your dog to all sorts of loud
sounds and bangs.

This is a must have for anyone that owns a dog
that is terrified of loud noises, and is highly
recommended for every dog owner to prepare their
pet for the sound of fireworks well ahead of Guy
Fawkes night, which will be upon us shortly on
the 5thNovember. Taking the time and effort to
adapt your pet for noisy events such as firework
night, thunder and other loud bangs, may help
stop your dog from running off in a frightened
frenzy, and may even save your pet's life.
