Some dogs have fear of lightening and thunder. It is important not too make too much of a fuss, but to screen calmness in the event of thunder and lightening. Do not over fondle dogs when they are over stressed because this reinforces nervous behaviour. If dogs are left alone, try to confine them, so that they don't do any damage, and small places have a calming effect on nervous dogs. If your dog urinates on your TV or best armchiar, do not scald him for it, this would be cruel, just prevent negative behaviour by preventive planning. In Israel, rain is scarse, so be patient, for soon the winter will have pased by.

Be patient, be calm, and be kind to your dogs, for they will return your kindess with years of happiness and good memories.

I heard that besides the loud noise which can frighten some dogs, they can also feel static electricity caused by the thunder storm, and that is another reason for nervous behavior. Is that true? What can we do to make those dogs feel more comfortable and relaxed?

There is a very helpful article at http://www.paw-rescue.org/PAW/PETTIPS/DogTip_FearOfThunder.php This should give you a lot of useful information and advice.
