🔄FROM THE ARCHIVE: Research suggests some dogs fear loud noises because of a combination of nature and nurture, and to be mindful of those Fourth of July fireworks.
the subject of canine sensitivity to noise more, though. They suggest it affects 17 to 40 percent of the dog population. The range is so large because experts recently determined that this sensitivity is more prevalent in certain breeds, says Nicholas Dodman, co-founder and president of theDogs who fear loud noises — the backfiring of a truck or the boom of thunder — will display their fear in a variety of ways.
Dodman, too, studied thunderstorm phobia, “and we found that almost half the [fearful] dogs were either herding breeds or herding breed-crosses,” says Dodman. Research suggests that herding breeds — Shelties, Border Collies or shepherds — are more fearful because of how they were bred: to herd sheep, for example, but to not kill them.
“And I believe what that's done is it’s inbred a certain amount of trepidation in them, if you will. A failure to commit,” says Dodman. The opposite is true of dogs bred to fight. “The bull breed dog that was trained to attack and go forward […] was bred not to have fear, but sheepdogs and shepherd dogs were bred to have fear,” explains Dodman.
Canine sensitivity to noise “could be a combination of nature and nurture,” concludes Dodman, whose own dog fears his wife’s cooking. “My dog, as a matter of fact, really doesn't care about thunderstorms,” says Dodman. “[But], the fire alarm really upsets him and he knows what comes beforehand and usually it's my wife going towards the stove.
