Of course, the Gordon Setter was bred to hunt beside their master all day in field and forest. But let thunder boom or fireworks explode and your dog is shaking and trying to climb into your lap.
Q: Why would a dog bred to be around guns be scared of thunder?
A: They learn to anticipate the gunshot noise, they are in the environment they expect the noise to be in and when the gun goes to the hunter's shoulder there is a boom. They don't get a warning for thunder or fireworks.
Just as certain triggers cause terror in people (public speaking, spiders, snakes, heights, clowns), our dogs can also have fear triggers. Thunder, fireworks or being alone are all common triggers for our dogs. Relax Dog Aromatherapy uses our custom blend of gentle essential oils to tenderly help take your Gordon Setter's anxiety and fear down to a manageable level.
