Many pet parents and animal behaviorists recommend desensitizing puppies to certain sounds. When I raised my pups, they were raised indoors. We have a busy house with kids in it and the pups were near the TV. But a lot of pups are raised in a kennel and have never heard the sounds of a house before.
One very popular and commonly recommended audio CD is called Calm Pet – Desensitizing Sounds for Animals, Volume 1.
