My dog needs schedule information, he won't leave the House!

[abrucken]

A trivial problem for everyone except my Dog. All his life he has been frightened of thunder, fireworks and gunfire, etc. Since we moved to Herbeumont - Ardennes B6887 - three years ago, taking him for a walk has become problematic because of aircraft noise - when he hears the rumble of an engine he thinks it's a thunderstorm coming and he just runs for home, dragging me behind him!!. It may be my or his imagination, but activity in the air seems to have increased over the last year. I believe that the French Air Force fly over the area, and there have been a lot of booms to shake the village foundations, but there is some other high altitude activity which seems to be frequent; 06.30 this morning for example. To take the uncertainty from dog walking could some kind person either tell me, or direct me, to a site which might inform me of the flights which pass overhead so I can choose the best time to take Mans Best Friend out for his daily exercise??!!! Congratulations on a great site!!! And thanks in advance.
Best wishes,

Paul and Rufus

Abrucken,

You have to talk to your dog. If he or she notices you're nervous, the dog will also be nervous. So take your dog to places with noise as much as possible, it’s the only way to cure him. It only takes some patience and time.

Good luck Rufus with your boss Paul
