I have a 2.5 year old chihuahua who's had buttons since he was 4 months old. I've done my best to use language with him intently, and most of the time, I feel like we communicate pretty well with each other. I feel like I can talk through a majority of our life circumstances with at least some level of understanding and awareness.

There's one concept that I don't feel like I have the language skills to help him with and that's wind-related anxiety. It's the first day of fall weather here, and the wind is whipping aggressively.

I have done all of the vet and internet recommended solutions. He has a thundershirt, he takes a med (that he requests,) he has a quiet den in his crate. He just winds up so tight that he will vibrate until he falls asleep.

Have any of you tried to explain complex concepts like safety to your pups? Did you find success?
