Whether your dog is worked up because of something in their environment, their breed or personality, you need to calm your dog for your sanity and theirs.
Left untreated, anxiety can cause health issues and disturbances in your life.
If you own a dog, dealing with anxious behavior would be a part of life for you. Canines experience anxiety due to different reasons, from thunderstorms to firecrackers and traffic noise.
You can expect it to get stressed while traveling or even on separation from you or a family member. As an owner, you are responsible for keeping the pet calm and happy.
It is essential to understand the underlying cause of canine anxiety and work on it. Here are some actionable hacks you can rely on for calming down an anxious dog.
What are dogs scared of? Dogs, like all animals, are individuals and can fear just about anything. Some dog fears make perfect sense to us, and some make no sense at all. Some of your dog’s fears may go unnoticed because they are so out of the blue and subtle. Unless we know how to read dogs, we will miss them. Missing the signs that your dog is scared of something might cause long-term fears and manifest in unwanted behaviors.
