Fireworks, thunderstorms, strangers on the welcome mat!
If the "coping with stress" behaviors are not harmful = Let them cope in their own ways.
LET THEM hide, drool, pant, pace, not eat, burrow, not play.
However, if there is any self-harm, escaping, excessive vocals, puking, or eliminations; try some of these tried-and-trues =
Music, soft rock or reggae.
White noise, fan, running water.
Home-made weighted blankets (folded bath towels or small blankets) Careful not to overheat.
'Swaddle' using an old sweatshirt with ace bandage as a wrap.
Make a pile of blankets and towels and let them play, burrow, hide...
No evening walk if you can avoid it.
Try not to coddle = they can see right through your cover-up!
Freely use any BlackWing Farms' Remedies in the house!
LET US KNOW IF WE MISSED ANYTHING ON THE LIST.
