You know, I just tried something I forgot about that worked in the past - I turned the tv volume off from its full volume loud and sat in front of the window and every time there was a loud pop, I said, oh, that was a goood one! The dog came to the window for a long time with me and eventually I stopped saying anything and then when there was a loud pop she started looking back at me to say the magic words to assure her. Now she’s running around with her toy not bothered in the least!
I did that with my other dog when he was a puppy and there was a thunderstorm. I’d take him on the porch in my lap and say it and give him rubs every time there was a loud crack. Can’t believe I forgot it…
