How to Help Your Dog Overcome Anxiety

Dogs can experience fear and anxiety in a similar way to people. For instance, some dogs are afraid of crashing thunder and some are afraid of the random flashes of light we are known as lightning. If your dog is showing signs of anxiety or fear, please talk with your vet about ways to help keep your dog calm and to ease the dog’s fears. One way you may want to try is to distract your dog from what is causing the anxiety. If it’s thunder, then take him to a quiet room in the house where the thunder is the least heard and play with your dog or teach him a trick or anything that takes his mind off of the thunder. You could play an indoor game of fetch with a soft or plush ball. You can help your dog to become more relaxed and maybe by the next storm he won’t be so worked up. Talk to your animal hospital Fayetteville, NC for more tips.
