Managing a Dog that Hates the Rain

veterinarian Chico, CA.

Some dogs love being outside, regardless of the weather. However, if your dog hates the rain, he may resist going outside. Your dog will sense rain coming hours before it starts so he may become suspicious if you try to take him out ahead of a storm. If he hates getting wet, he will become anxious and fearful. This is a problem since your dog will need to go outside to urinate and defecate. He might have an accident in the house as he resists going out. Accompany your dog outside and stay with him for comfort and to keep him company. A short walk can make rainy days more fun. You can use an umbrella or a doggy raincoat to keep your dog from getting wet. Praise your dog and reward him whenever he does his business out in the rain. Towel off your dog when you go back inside.  Contact your veterinarian Chico, CA.
