Many dogs who are fine as young dogs with storms get sensitive to thunder storms as they age. Maybe they wise up and realize the dangers of storms. Animals are much more sensitive to mother nature than humans, it's a means of survival.

Patrick Hennigan Webboard User Reg: 09-01-2001 Posts: 308 Loc: Boston, MA Offline	Yeah I dont agree. I believe it's a sound sensitivity like any other. All dogs I have seen scared of thunder had other nerve issues as well. "Justice" Natz vom Leerburg SchH II 9/9/01 - 7/29/05 I'll meet you at the rainbow bridge...

I would just try to be with her around as many storms as possible when they come through. I wouldnt feed into it and comfort her if she acts scared. Just act like it's no big deal and she should feed off you that it is no big deal and shes ok. If you have been with her around thunder before and she was fine then it may be because she was alone this time. Some dogs are visibly more confident when with their leader.

They do have the denning instinct remember so maybe she just feels secure laying there. "Justice" Natz vom Leerburg SchH II 9/9/01 - 7/29/05 I'll meet you at the rainbow bridge...
