Good questions
Before you begin.
Will comforting my dog make it worse?
No. Comfort does not reinforce fear. Stay calm and offer a safe place.
Do thunder shirts work?
Some dogs seem to settle in them and others do not. Try it as one tool among several.
Can fear get worse over time?
It can without help, so early action pays off.
What about fireworks?
Prepare days ahead. Choose a quiet room and practice with recordings at low volume.
