Dog Noise Phobia, along with Dog Noise Anxiety, are terms sometimes used by dog owners and veterinarians to describe canine fear of and the corresponding stress responses to loud noises. Noise-related phobia are common in dogs, and may be triggered by fireworks, thunderstorms, gunshots, and even bird noises. Associated stimuli may also come to trigger the symptoms of the phobia or anxiety, such as a change in barometric pressure being associated to a thunderstorm, thus causing an anticipatory anxiety. ==Signs of Dog Noise Phobia== Signs and symptoms of dog noise phobia may include: * Urinating or defecating * Hiding * Chewing * Panting * Pacing * Digging * Trying to jump out of windows or otherwise escape * Drooling * Seeking out the owner * Flatulence * Barking * Trembling * Dilated Pupils Milder symptoms may become exaggerated after repeated exposure to the phobia stimuli. The symptoms may present immediate physical danger to the dog, as in the case reported by Katherine A. Houpt, VMD, Ph.D., where a fleeing dog was hit by a vehicle. The progression of mild phobia to a significant one merits immediate treatment of any level of noise phobia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Noise phobia in dogs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
