  Many dogs like to brew a racket, barking at whatever moves, but what when your dog hates noise? Some pets suffer the pain of sound-phobias and are filled with anxiety by the slightest hint of an particular puppy noise. Common canine sound phobias include a fear of fireworks, magic, trains and even weather. Pet owners are usually aware that on bonfire night you have to take special care to your pet; keep them close by, or better yet, safe indoors in a quiet room. Whilst adults and children alike huddle under smoke-filled skies looking to write their names inside trail of a sparkler, pet dogs are probably huddled under tables with their tails between their legs.
  
  A concern with fireworks is easy to understand and predict, but imagine if your dog has a phobia towards a the natural way occurring sound? If your puppy fears an unpredictable and uncontrollable sound, such as thunder, your day-to-day living may be severely affected. As horrors escalate, your dog may begin to fear things he or she associates with thunder. Soon enough, even light rain might cause excessive levels of fear. Dogs that suffer acutely may also respond badly to improved wind, air pressure or humidity.
  
  Symptoms on the phobia range in severity from panting and uncomfortable, to hiding, whining, excavating and home soiling. Within exceptional cases, dogs have been recognized by jump through glass windows due to the intensity of their worry.
  
  If the problem is especially severe, and nothing generally seems to improve it, you should get hold of your vet, as there are generally treatments available. Most treatments for sound phobia involve a range of techniques including desensitisation together with counter conditioning techniques. This is certainly where your dog is played nominal levels of the fear-inducing sound; slowly the level associated with sound is increased, and also the dog is rewarded for not giving an answer to the noise.
  
  Your dog insurance could pay around 250 pounds per period of insurance towards your dog's procedure for sound phobia, whether it is recommended by your vet. Before you know that, your dog should be oh no- exploring - rather than fearing - the modern world at large. However, it's worth noting that the symptoms and phobia will still only be covered if they began following your insurance was taken available and any preexisting phobias will not be covered.
  For those who have read my earlier report "Secrets of Pet Training Professionals - Operant Conditioning" then you will find yourself familiar with the term 'Negative Punishment'. Sounds bad, doesn't it? But don't get worried, Negative Punishment simply translates that behavior is decreased since we took something away as a consequence of that behavior.
  
  A 'time out' is a Negative Punisher when the target behavior is decreased. Time outs are just about the most humane and pet-friendly punishments we can use, when used using thought and care.
  
  Puppies mouthful at our hands and clothing because that is the way that puppies wish to play. It is excitement, and they enjoy our attention. They particularly as if it if we try to fight them off of us. Have you ever seen several puppies playing? They love to fight each other with the mouths and paws.
