    Placing fingers over nostrils helps for my Elkhound who does this, as well. mine is doing it a lot more frequently though, so I am getting her checked out, because some dogs can develop collapsing trachea. Mine had a trach tube inserted during a recent surgery (benign skin growth removed) as a precaution, and now it is happening more often, ever since. The soft palate might be inflamed or swollen, and I am not taking any chances, due to mine’s increase in frequency of this.

    I took this video to my vet & she said she is 100% certain its a reverse sneeze and not to be worried. It stopped happening about a week after I took this video. I got my dog from the pound, so he probably just had some allergy or a cold. The reverse sneeze occured when dozer initially went outside (temperature change) or when he sniffed something dusty on the ground. He doesn’t do it anymore, I’m glad I got it on video for the entertainment value alone. If your dog does this, it’s okay!

    My Rat Terrier mix (possibly part Boston or Bulldog) does this as well although his reverse sneezing sounds different. Someone eventually told me that if you press your hand over their nose (or press their nostrils if they’ll let you) for a few seconds it will stop the reverse sneezing. I know that sounds weird but it is just for a few seconds so it doesn’t hurt them but it does work (for my dog at least!)

    my Orson does the exact same thing, i couldnt find another dog on here that had a reverse sneeze like his until Dozer.
    Been told it could be from allergies, like something getting in their nose. next time it happens try rubbing his throat, it’s supposed to calm them down and help it end sooner.

    Help! My Boston is 7 months old and I would really like to know what is wrong with him. I have done quite a bit of research online and it appears that it is reverse sneezing. However, the frequency has increased to several times a day now. It seems to happen when he is excited or wakes up in the morning. Is it normal for him to be doing this so often? Is it possible that he has a cold b/c he seems to be quite congested too. I have tried rubbing his throat to calm him down and it seems to work, but I just worry about it happening when I’m not home to help.

    Thanks so much for posting the video on youtube. I have forwarded it to a friend of mine who is a vet. My pup looks identical to the Boston in the video.

    My Lucy does this after I cut the grass or trim hedges around my house. At first I thought she had something stuck in her throat so I gave her a bowl of milk & water to wash it down. She stops immediately when she sees me running for a bowl-it scares me to death because she seems to be in pain and scared.
