If you're struggling to help your dog with noise phobia on your own, it's important to seek professional help from a qualified animal behaviorist.
You can find information on the websites of the American Kennel Club (AKC), the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), and the Association of Pet Behavior Consultants (APBC).
Noise phobia can be a difficult condition for dogs to cope with, but it can be treated with patience, consistency, and professional help.
