July 4 and thunderstorms can be hell on anxious dogs. But music can help them get through the sounds.
When the fireworks start, Cabbie runs to her grandma and curls up at her feet, where she’ll stay until the din ends, often hours later. If the celebration sounds like an extended battle scene from, she might even leap into grandma’s lap. When thunderstorms loudly roll in, DaVinci darts for the nearest safe space in his Houston area home, where he’ll remain until the cacophony of the tempest has passed.
“Basically we’ve been doing this for a long time and there’s a lot of research that we’ve put into what we’re doing. We create everything in house. We have music producers in house, film producers, and everything is based on our own research,” Ahmed said. “Thunderstorms, bad weather, fireworks, whatever it is, it really, really does help have a massive impact on the mental health of your dog or cat to calm them down as much as possible.
Nayeli Plata and her husband Jon use music to calm their eight year-old Miniature Schnauzer, DaVinci. “Classical music on the dog brain is supposed to have profound effects,” noted Storz. “There have been several studies that have shown that those tones just actively affect the part of the dog’s brain that teaches them how to relax, essentially. When a dog is fully relaxed and that part of the brain is working, that’s when the music comes in and continues to help. But, for a severe enough dog it’s just not enough.
She said the dogs would listen to the music and if they showed good response to the dulcet tones they’d get a reward. By the time the practice had to be put into play for actual fireworks, there was some base from which to work.
