Mabel,

I know in Cody's last puppy class the trainer said that if they are afraid of something, such as thunder, you should really just go about your business and tell him "it is okay", but not coddle them because it just reinforces their fear.

Someone actually suggested to tape the sound that they are afraid of(not sure how one could do this with all things), but anyway, then they said to play the tape and at the same time, do something fun with the dog, play fetch, etc.

There is a Bark Busters around here ( I have seen their van driving around), but I don't know anything about them.
