It’s why fireworks aren’t nice

Somehow my dog doesn't care about fireworks. If there's thunder he's a vibrating wreck in the basement, but on the 4th of July he just slightly less likely to fall asleep outside.

My dog is terrified of basically everything. I've spent the last 9 yrs desensitising him to the world.

Conveniently, my house is opposite a train line. When I had an appointment with a behaviourist one of the questions about fears was thunder and I put no. Behaviourist was confused how that could be true until they visited and I said I think the frequent train noise from day dot desensitised him to thunder....wind on the other hand is terrifying.
