Lucy And Her Stubborn Behavior:

 Lucy (age 4 1/2) has suddenly become very stubborn. She was trained to not go out the door when we did so we can better keep track of her and she only goes out when we tell her it is okay. When we let her out she sometimes refuses to come back inside. Also, she sometimes forces her way out the door when we go out and won't come when called. Totally unlike her. 

We believe she is afraid of the wind and the noise it makes. We have had several windy days and it is during the windy times that she gets this stubborn streak. We have been giving her "thunder wonders" which are natural ingredients that calm nervous dogs. They seem to work plus we play symphony music on the television which calms her. 

When this wind stops we will see if she returns to her normal well behaved self or not. If not she will be taken to the vet for a physical work up. We have checked her all  over for any painful spots and she is quite normal there. We have no idea why she is suddenly scared of the wind and the sound our cell phone makes when one of our security cameras are triggered. 

When she misbehaves we scold her for her behavior and she acts like she knows what she is  doing wrong but can't stop the behavior or doesn't want to stop.  We have never had a fur family member act like this before. She has her trigger issues that set her off and she is afraid but never has she acted like this before. 

A year ago we had a 20" tree blow over and hit the house and that scared us all but everyone else got over it - but Lucy may never have fully gotten over it. Until she does it will be the calming pills and symphony music. Fortunately we like symphony music.
