Dog with Extreme Noise Phobia- advice needed
I’m looking for advice on my dog who I have had for almost 2 years. She has never loved loud noises but ever since they did construction on the siding of my apartment, and they were banging on the walls for eight hours a day she has been extremely noise averse (there are also cars that backfire which doesn’t help) and it has just been downhill for the past eight or so months.
We have been with a behaviorist and she has been diagnosed with noise phobia and tried multiple medicines, including reconcile, clomipramine and she is now on sertraline and gabapentin, but she is just getting progressively worse with time.
We do puzzle toys and snuffle mats all the time, and confidence training too. It now seems like she is just scared of the outdoors in general.
This is her about 15 feet from our apartment and I can’t get her to go much further than that, even when it is completely quiet out. She is cemented and won’t move.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I’m feeling like she is hopeless and just won’t ever be better.
