Some dogs are really prone to stress and anxiety. They will behave abnormally when meeting other people or dogs or entering new environments. Common ones include:

He turns away to avoid, walks back and forth, licks his nose, blinks, yawns, scratches the wall, barks excessively, hides, opens his mouth to breathe and suddenly closes his mouth or even growls when you touch him.

No matter what the reason is, sometimes some scenes are unavoidable. We still have to find ways to help dogs relieve their nervousness and anxiety and help them regain their confidence.

1. Entering the cage

Didn’t expect that?

In "Wolf Warrior 2", Leng Feng found a cave to hide and rest after being injured. We can all think of this. The cave is open on one side and surrounded on three sides, which is definitely safer for animals than outdoors. The cage (flight box is better) is the dog’s cave!

Through proper training, let the dog understand that the cage is his nest and his safest place. In this way, once he feels nervous and anxious, one option is to return to the cage!

2. Massage

When a dog is nervous, the muscles in his body are tight, especially the muscles in his back. Therefore, the owner can gently massage the upper part of the dog's front legs, back and neck. Massage can reduce the dog's nervousness. Massage can also be performed by gentle rubbing, pressing, etc.

3. Stay away

The reason why many dogs are nervous may be due to external loud noises, firecrackers, etc. Take your dog away from the place that scares them as soon as possible to avoid being in a state of long-term nervousness.

4. Anti-anxiety drugs

If you are facing a dog that has been anxious and nervous for a long time, you can ask your doctor to give appropriate anti-anxiety drugs to further reduce the dog's fear and uneasiness.

5. Master

It is said that dogs can sense the emotions of their owners. When dogs are nervous and anxious, we must be good leaders so that they can feel more secure and less likely to have emotional problems. The owner should not be nervous, panicked, or overly worried. If it is a timid dog, be careful to protect the dog.

6. Transfer

You can use their favorite snacks, toys, and noisy toys to divert their attention. If it is a snack, pay attention to the time when it is given, so that it does not become a "barking reward."

7. Interaction

Usually you can do moreSome training, such as obstacle course training, is very helpful to enhance the dog's self-confidence and tacit understanding with its owner, making it easier for them to relax.

8. Relief

If the dog is hostile to other people or dogs and starts barking when the owner is out, the owner should ignore them or look in the direction of their barking so that their barking or any behavior cannot attract the owner's attention.

9. Positive reinforcement

When the dog stops barking, dares to come out of hiding, etc., encourage it in time and provide positive reinforcement. Or guide them to take the initiative to contact and explore the things they are afraid of. By enhancing their self-confidence, they can perform more calmly.

10. White noise

Use white noise from fans, TVs, radios, etc. to distract your dog.

11. Music

Try playing classical music to relieve your dog’s nervousness. No joke, this specialty is called “relaxation therapy”. It is said that some of the songs are very effective. If you are interested, you can study it.

12. Exercise, exercise, exercise again!

A tired dog is a happy dog. When exercise releases serotonin, a feel-good chemical.

　13, SPA

SPA for dogs has become more and more popular. It has been proven to have obvious benefits. It is relaxing and soothing. It is a very good choice to solve the dog's mood.

I have seen many nervous and anxious dogs become more autistic for various reasons, which is very depressing.

Owners should accompany their dogs as often as possible, play with them to eliminate their tension, and let their dogs become sunny, happy, and lovable dogs.
