05.01.2022 Among the many issues I'm asked to help with, sound sensitivity is unfortunately common. People want me to tell them how to DS/CC so their sound sensitive dog c...an be willing & able to deal with noises. From genetic predispositions to hearing deficits & sensitivities, there is so much at play that is neither under the control of nor yielding to training, no matter how good your treats may be or how good your timing. Additionally, unlike visual stimuli, auditory stimuli are frequently present without any way at all to control or modify them. We try to block, minimize and avoid sound, but it is ubiquitous -- and our dogs hear much more than we do, leaving us often unaware that they are even processing auditory input. From https://www.npr.org//how-sound-shaped-the-evolution-of-you "...hearing is special among senses," Horowitz says. Sound can travel a long way. It will propagate through anything the ground, water. It works at night, goes around corners. "Sounds give you sensory input that is not limited by field of vision." Given how well sound reflects what's going on around us, the brains of vertebrates including humans evolved to be exquisitely sensitive to it. "You hear anywhere from 20 to 100 times faster than you see," Horowitz says, "so that everything that you perceive with your ears is coloring every other perception you have, and every conscious thought you have." Sound, he says, "gets in so fast that it modifies all the other input and sets the stage for it." This is a critical point for all trainers: sound and its effect(s) on the animal are always a part of the training picture. When an animal displays sound sensitivity, it should be recognized as a potential source for distress, no different than any other source of distress except that it may be an inescapable distress. Whether that's life in a busy town or city, near a road or train tracks or airport, in apartments or active suburbs, from household equipment & activities, weather events, gunshots or just the noise of people & other animals -- we may habituate without recognizing the stress that noise represents, though our bodies reflect the stress in increased blood pressure and lowered IQ! Since we can tune out a lot of the noise we live with, we may expect our dogs to do the same. This may not be humane or even possible. When in doubt, ask the dog. Only he can answer the Elemental Question, "How is this for you?"
