Step 1
Move your dog away from speakers if the TV or stereo is on at a loud volume, or else turn the volume down.
-
Step 2
Switch the speakers to the front of the car when your dog is traveling in back, especially if a band like Metallica is blaring on the stereo.

Step 3
Lower your tone or go outside if you have to argue with a member of the household. Dogs are pack animals and get nervous when something is disturbing the pack (family). Run or walk a few laps to get your adrenaline going and by the time you get back you'll want to make nice (family website) not war.

Step 4
Vacuuming, not a very fun chore for people and even less so for pooches. However, it's one of those necessary evils you have to engage in every so often if you have carpeting-but a noise your dog can get used to. A good way to start is to turn the vacuum on in a different room from where the dog is. Over a period of time, move it closer so that eventually you can turn it on in the same room. The first time you try it, turn on the vacuum while your dog is eating. She will ignore the sound and continue to eat. Well, hopefully. You may wanna make it a rib eye.

on 9/2/2009 Dogs see in color. The "fact" that they're colorblind is similar to the misuse of the word when speaking of people. Just like people that are erroneously labeled colorblind, dogs only have two different types of color receptors, instead of three like most people. So they see color, just with less variation and in more yellow and blue hues, similar to a red-green "colorblind" person. In other words, they don't see colors toward the red end of the spectrum properly.
