thunderstorms. Any suggestions? She stays in our backyard, has doghouse, etc. But she tries to tear open our patio door with her claws. She is really panicky during storms, and tries to bowl us over getting into the house if we open the door.
Bring her in the home before the storm starts. If she still acts destructive, place her in a crate inside the home and place a blanket over so she can't see the flashes. Put on soothing music.
