We live in a large city centre high rise apartment with a large terrace. We’re looking to move to the country next year but need to stay here for now. There is always loud noises, supposed gun shots and sometimes car exhausts banging, but you can tell the difference between the two. There is either loud screeching and spluttered exhaust banging or isolated 2-5 bangs. It’s becoming increasingly scary for me, though I try my best not to show it, the dog is really effected when DP is not home.
Tonight she was shaking in fear because of the bangs. How can I help her? I do not tell her off, if she barks, or growls for any behaviour in reaction to the bangs, but tonight she was so scared.
How can I help her without altering her? As in drugs? I do not want her drugged up etc? How can I help her? We are moving away from here, we just can’t just yet.
