I saw this on facebook if anybody is interested......
Did you know... If a dog is scared of thunder a scarf can be tied around its body to give a sense of security. About three weeks ago when there was thunder and our dog, who is scared of thunder was frantic, his whole body shaking, my friend, told me about this which I tried. A couple of minutes later the shaking stopped and Skye calmed down. Today when the thunder started I immediately fetched a scarf and tied it around him again as shown on the photos. A few minutes later he calmed down and later even fell asleep as can be seen. This is a most useful trick, suppose it will also work if the dog is scared of the noise of fire crackers
