Which list identifies the five manifestations of noise phobias?

• A. Escape, Hiding, Trembling, Excessive Salivation, House-Soiling
• B. Escape, Hiding, Trembling, Excessive Salivation
• C. Spinning, Tail Chasing, Licking, Flank-Sucking, Barking
• D. House-Soiling, Trembling, Escape, Hiding, Licking

Answer: (A)

Noise phobia in dogs often shows both avoidance and fear-driven arousal. The five classic manifestations to recognize are escaping or trying to flee, hiding, trembling or shaking, excessive salivation (drooling), and house-soiling. Together, these signs reflect a strong fear response with both behavioral avoidance and autonomic reaction. The other options mix in behaviors that aren’t core fear responses to loud noises or omit a key sign. For example, some lists include only avoidance and trembling or swap in repetitive actions not typically tied to noise fear, such as spinning or tail chasing, or they replace drooling with licking. The combination of escape, hiding, trembling, excessive salivation, and house-soiling best captures the typical fear-related reactions dogs show to loud noises.
