At Dogster HQ we know a good number of pups who like to hide under the bed when thunder strikes, and we know they're far from alone. Thunderphobia is an all-too-common issue with our canine friends. Today, our behavior and training columnist Casey Lomonaco tackles the subject and teaches us how to identify which aspect of a storm triggers fear in our dogs, as well as how to help soothe the startled beasts.
