Instructions
Speak to your dog in a calm and upbeat manner. Your dog needs to know you are in charge. If it senses fear or worry from you, it will become more afraid and may panic. A panicked dog is prone to injuring itself or you.
Crawl under the bed to see how your dog is stuck. Its collar might be stuck on a bed spring or the space may be too narrow, pinning it down. Release the collar or push up on the bed with your back to release the pressure.
Give your dog a treat to help the calming process. After getting the dog unstuck, coax the dog out from under the bed with the treat. Leave a trail of treats behind you as you move out from under the bed, calling your dog to come.
Treat your dog's noise phobia to prevent the dog from getting stuck under the bed in future. Treatments include desensitization, counter-conditioning and medications. Consult a veterinarian about the appropriate treatment for your dog.
Block your dog's access to underneath the bed and provide your dog with an alternative safe place, such as a portable kennel.
How to Get a Dog Out From Under the Bed if He Is Stuck
Underneath a bed is to a dog what a cave is to a wolf -- a place where it can feel safe and secure. Dogs usually dive for the safety of their cave because of a noise phobia. The phobia commonly stems from thunder and fireworks. Some breeds, such as shepherds and border collies, are more prone to noise phobias than others. If your dog gets stuck under the bed, it is important to remain calm so the situation isn't exacerbated, increasing the risk of injury to your dog.
