Thunderstorm phobia in dogs: an Internet survey of 69 cases

McCobb, EC, Brown, EA, Damiani, K, Dodman, NH·2001·Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association

Abstract

To learn more about predispositions for, signs, and progression of canine thunderstorm phobia, a survey for owners was posted on the Internet. Questions addressed signalment, age of onset, behavior during storms, and treatments tried. Sixty-nine responses were received. Herding dogs and herding crossbreeds accounted for the majority of dogs. Seventeen of 41 dogs with a known age of onset began exhibiting thunderstorm phobia <1 year of age. Various characteristic responses of dogs to storms were described. Improved knowledge of the demographics of thunderstorm phobia, its development, and presentation will assist in understanding the genesis and progression of the condition.

  • Other breeds selected for herding or even cross-breed dogs showed a high sensitivity to noise.

    “While certain breeds which have been selected for hunting, such as Pointers, seem to tolerate sudden noise better [143,145], other breeds selected for herding or even cross-breed dogs showed a high sensitivity to noise [153].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
