We are having a real bad storm tonight.
My girls are kenneled in their room.
If they start going crazy how can I help calm them down
They do when it is real bad so any help would be great.

Stephanie,
Don't know if this would work for your girls or not but it seemed to work for us over 4th of July with the fireworks noise. We played a radio in the room where their crates were and they never made a peep!
i read to luc w/thunderstorms so that i was interacting with him, but not comforting him (which reinforces that the fear is okay/correct). it worked really well, he is fine out in storms, we had lightening hit the trail 50M in front of us once and he stayed calm (unlike me ) i like the reading as well b/c it's also distracting.
i've also heard - i think a thread on here - that swaddling them can be a good idea. i tried that with luc w/low flying fighter jets overhead (yes, we live in the airshow path) with mixed results.

Thank you for the help
I was going to let them sleep with me
where in for a bad one tonight
I think I will move there kennels in my room and put a shirt with both of them
We don't get very many bad one like this unless it is hurricane season.
But this one is bad for a normal storm
I am putting them to bed and going to turn my computer off for the night.
The shirt is not to just be with them, it is to be wrapped snuggly around them like a compression suit. I believe the research had to do with countering barometric pressure but that is coming from somewhere deep in my memory (scary place). Bw
My dog trainer also runs a boarding kennel. She swears by melatonin for thunderstorms (a human sleep hormone, you can buy it at health food/vitamin stores).
We use Melatonin on our boxer during storms. It is very mild. By know means knocks her out but does seem to spped up the recovery time. My husband also takes it as asleep aid.
