Is Your Coonhound Scared of Thunder? Afraid of Fireworks? Coonhounds are usually rock-solid dogs. Bred to track, trail and tree raccoons, etc., they are accustomed to gunshot and loud noises. But, just as certain events trigger panic in people (spiders, snakes, heights, public speaking), certain situations can trigger your Coonhound's anxiety. Thunderstorms, fireworks, loud noises in general are common triggers for our dog's fears. It may seem odd that dogs which have been bred to be hunting dogs would be afraid of thunder. During a hunt or trial they are anticipating the gunshot, their adrenalin is pumping and they are expecting the BOOM. Thunder or fireworks are unexpected and thus startles them.
