With the Met Office predicting more thunderstorms to hit the UK this week, pet owners may be wondering how to keep their dogs calm during the loud bangs and flashes. Canine behaviourist and trainer Adem Fehmi, working with natural dog food brand Barking Heads, shares his top tips for making sure the nation's pets don't panic.
Adem advises owners to practice desensitisation training, which involves making loud noise, bright sight and even the smell of storms familiar. While you may think it would have the opposite effect, playing videos and sounds of thunderstorms can actually prepare your dog when the thunder rolls in.
