So sorry for the slowdown of reblogging helpful posts and answering asks, but in the meantime here’s a playlist I found on Youtube to help desensitize your pup to a variety of different sounds– very useful for any dog, but especially for service dogs in training.

It includes doorbells, construction noises, outdoor and indoor ambience, thunderstorms, appliances, children playing, fireworks/guns, crowds, lawnmowers, animal sounds, and a lot more.

I recommend playing it very quietly at first to judge your dog’s reaction, then increasing it to as loud as they can listen to it without reacting. After they’ve listened to it a few times you can start to very slowly increase the volume over time until they can reliably listen to the sounds without worry at closer to real-world levels.

If your dog cannot listen to this playlist without barking or becoming stressed at even a very low volume, try distracting them by talking to them, giving them treats, or playing with their favorite toys, while it plays quietly in the background. Even if they can only listen to it while it’s mostly drowned out by a loud squeaky toy, it’s a start, and they will improve over time.
