I use a rubber mallet. Works every time!

Seriously, Lavender spray works great! You can buy it at any pet supply store, petsmart, petco etc.... It comes under many names such as quiet time etc... I've been around dogs all my life and basically all you need to do is spray the Lavender around the dog, NOT DIRECTLY IN IT'S FACE and you will be amazed how calming it is. Also, if your doggie is not opposed to wearing shirts, they make a Thunder shirt for dogs to relieve anxiety during storms, traveling etc... The Thunder shirt can be purchased on line and the website is
Thundershirt | The Best Dog Anxiety Treatment I personally have not used the Thunder shirt, but I've heard good things from friends who have. I hope this helps!
