This is kind of long sorry
My dog 6 is very nervous we rescued him a year ago and is very sensitive hes gone through a lot. One thing we've been having issues with recently is our bug zapper, it makes a sharp loud noise that terrifies him when he goes outside but we can't turn it off because we get an excessive amount of mosquitoes in my area. So now he's refusing to go outside and we have to force him and when he's outside he is very stressed violently shaking, yawning and panting. My mom is against giving him anxiety relief treats as they have CBD in them so that's not an option so we got him a compression jacket and it worked very well he wasn't shaking and actually played at night outside. However the noise of the velcro sets him off when we try removing it. He doesn't bite he never has but he will growl and put his mouth on us never adding preassure but it is startling. i know there still is a possibility he could start biting which is what i want to avoid. I'm not sure if there is a way to desensitized him somehow or if we should just return the jacket and just get through mosquito season with him being stressed going outside. Any advice would be very appreciated.
