How to stop (weather) anxieties?

Angel has developed an extreme anxiety over weather. She was fine as a pup but developed great fears of storms as she grew. Now she is developing extreme anxieties over windy weather. I have her crated at the moment but was wondering what techniques I might try to break this cycle?

Have you tried thunder coats? I haven't used it myself but I've heard it has worked for others.

Thundershirts do work. I give Melatonin to Kacie now and then when we have severe weather....

If you don't find it locally, you can order from the website - www.thundershirt.com. There is lots of good information about the shirts on the site.
