How To Keep Your Dogs Calm During Storms

Written By Stefan Chase

Practice Storm Desensitization

If your dog has ongoing storm anxiety, you can work with a trainer or behaviorist to slowly desensitize them to storm sounds and sensations over time.

Stay Calm Yourself

Dogs pick up on your energy. If you’re anxious or reactive, they’ll mirror that stress.

  • Speak in a low, calm voice

  • Avoid over-comforting (it can reinforce fear)

  • Act like it’s no big deal—even if they’re shaking

Try Natural Calming Aids

Some dogs respond well to natural remedies like:

  • CBD oil (dog-safe, vet-approved)

  • Chamomile or calming chews

  • Adaptil (dog-appeasing pheromone sprays or diffusers)

Always check with your vet before introducing new supplements.
