I agree, thank you crafty bear for all the great links, I always check your posts, you are just great. Unfortunately, if your dog is afraid of storms, there is not much you can do, she will probably always be afraid, I have several dogs and most are fine, does not bother them at all, but two of them always let me know even before a storm starts that it is coming because they start shaking and want to sit on me ( even tho my golden is 110 lbs), don't get much sleep when there is a storm as they all get on my bed. The lightening seems to scare them more than thunder. Good luck with that
