How to Help a Dog With Anxiety and Stress<\/strong><\/h1>\n

At one point or another you\u2019ve felt anxious. The same holds true for our four-legged furry friends. In order to understand how we, as owners, can prevent dog anxiety, let\u2019s first understand the underlying causes. There are three major causes of dog anxiety, which include fear-based, separation, and age-related anxiety.<\/p>\n

Common Causes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1. Fear-based<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Loud noises such as vacuums, thunderstorms, and fireworks\u00a0are a few of the most common stimuli that induce fear-related anxiety. Negative experiences can also have a lasting effect. Although, it may be entertaining for us to watch our puppies slip and slide across the hardwoods, there can be consequences down the road leading your dog to be afraid of normal circumstances that otherwise wouldn\u2019t cause fear. You\u2019d be anxious too if you thought you had to play \u201cthe floor is lava\u201d for the rest of your life. Read our\u00a0Fourth of July<\/a> and New Year’s Eve<\/a>\u00a0articles for tips on how to keep your pet calm during fireworks.<\/p>\n

2. Separation Anxiety<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Research suggests that 14 percent of canines experience separation anxiety<\/a>. This can be detrimental to their behavior. Separation anxiety can cause many dogs to bark excessively, soil the house, and become destructive. Certain breeds, such as minis, toys, and terriers are, by nature, are more susceptible to separation anxiety than others.<\/p>\n

3. Age-related<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Age-related anxiety can be traced from a decline in memory, learning, sight, awareness, and perception.<\/p>\n

Signs and Symptoms<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Symptoms we can recognize<\/a>:<\/p>\n

1. Aggression<\/p>\n

2. Urination<\/p>\n

3. Drooling<\/p>\n

4. Panting<\/p>\n

5. Destructive behavior<\/p>\n

6. Depression<\/p>\n

7. Excessive barking<\/p>\n

8. Pacing<\/p>\n

9. Restlessness<\/p>\n

10. Repetitive or compulsive behavior<\/p>\n

Reducing and Preventing Anxiety<\/h2>\n

1. Consult a Veterinarian<\/strong><\/h3>\n

First and foremost, it is important to identify why your dog is anxious. Your veterinarian will be able to help identify the source of anxiety as well as rule out any possible medical conditions. Once the source is discovered, your veterinarian will then be able to prescribe the appropriate training, counterconditioning, and, in some cases, medication. However, medication will only alleviate the dog\u2019s senses and symptoms. Medication should not be confused as a cure for anxiety.<\/p>\n

2. Counterconditioning & Training<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Counterconditioning will allow you to influence your dog’s response to various stimuli. For example, during a thunderstorm your dog may respond by pacing around the house while barking. Counterconditioning will help reform your dog\u2019s response to stressors. Instead of barking, you may have them conditioned to sit by your feet during the storm.<\/p>\n

Training is also another way to foster your dog\u2019s behavior. Desensitization is a training technique that will help guide your dog’s attitude toward a specific stimulus. Suppose they are fearful around the vacuum. Begin cautiously exposing the stressor in small doses. Eventually, incorporate positive reinforcement through rewards and praise. After all, he\u2019s a good boy. The goal of desensitization is to show your furry friend that certain stressors aren\u2019t so bad after all. Be careful though, they may expect a treat every time they walk by the vacuum.<\/p>\n

Be patient when training and counterconditioning; it won\u2019t happen overnight. Your own body language is just as important in their process. Showing frustration can make an already stressful situation worse.<\/p>\n

3. Exercise Helps<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Many large breeds and work specific breeds can become anxious just from boredom. Any of us would too if we were stuck in a room for 8 hours. The more tasks they have throughout the day the better. Consider what the needs of your dogs are. Undesirable behavior can be treated simply by adding a trip to the park in the morning. Physical stimulation is vital for your canine\u2019s development and mental health. Meeting their essential needs will go a long way in maintaining both physical and mental health, as well as preventing unwanted behaviors. Read our Promoting Healthy Lifestyles<\/a> article to learn more about how to keep your pet active and healthy.<\/p>\n

4. A Calm Routine<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dogs are creatures of habit who enjoy the subtleties of routine in their daily lives. Limiting ambiguity in their schedule will reduce anxious feelings. For them, routine means security. Sleeping, eating, and playing at regular times are no exception. Creating a structured routine and eliminating obscurities will help reduce anxiety.<\/p>\n

5. Pet-Owner Bonding<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Humans aren\u2019t the only ones to benefit from pet-owner relationships. Like us, dogs too are empathetic creatures. They feel what we feel – happiness, sadness, anxiousness, and excitement, which is why physical contact is just as important for them as it is for us. In the article, 9 Ways to Improve Your Relationship with Your Dog, Karen P. London, PhD, mentions there is strong evidence that physical contact through grooming and petting lowers stress in dogs. Many of us work throughout the day, which leaves little time to spend with our dogs. Allowing your dog to climb into bed with you is a great way to optimize your time with your favorite furry friend. Even a 5 minute belly rub in the morning will go a long way in reducing their anxiety.<\/p>\n

6. Socialization<\/strong><\/h3>\n

By nature, dogs are social creatures. Most are born into a litter of 5-8 puppies and typically spend their infancy with the pack. Since most dogs are taken from their litter at a very early age, it\u2019s essential to continue their socialization so they can prosper as well-rounded dogs. Early exposure will help create positive experiences and encourage the development of healthy coping mechanisms.<\/p>\n

It goes without saying why dogs are man\u2019s best friend, which is why we should be there for them during their ups and downs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
