Beagles Life

My beagle Bailey was absolutely terrified of thunderstorms — and fireworks — and the vacuum cleaner. Anything loud would send him heading for the hills. Even changes in barometric pressure can have an effect.

Being scared of the thunderstorms,  a beagle may seek refuge by hiding, drooling, excessive panting, urinating, trembling, whining, eye-rolling and/or frantic efforts to escape.

Now here comes the paradox: I didn’t want to make him overly dependent on me comforting him at any and every beck-and-call. After all, I didn’t want Skyler to interpret that by me trying to be reassuring, that that would validate his feeling of panic.

Yes, you want to be there for your beagle. But you don’t want to render them into a needy individual. Fortunately, there are ways that you can manage this effectively. Let’s discuss some ideas.
