Why do thunderstorms, fireworks, vacuum cleaners and other everyday noises send some pets into panic mode? In this episode of Training Tales, Eve from Dogaholics Dog Training explains what happens inside a dog or cat's brain when they hear a sudden or frightening sound.

Eve discusses the science behind noise sensitivity, why some pets are more affected than others, and the signs owners should watch for when distinguishing between mild discomfort and genuine anxiety. She also shares practical advice on helping pets feel safe during storms and fireworks, how sound desensitisation works, and why comforting a frightened pet won't reinforce their fear.

Whether you have a nervous dog, a cautious cat, or simply want to better understand your pet's behaviour, this episode offers valuable insights and simple strategies to help your furry companion feel more secure.
