 Stress in dogs is described as feelings of strain or pressure; just like humans (Buzhardt, 2019).

 Stress can elicit a flight or fight response.

 Growling

 Barking

 Whining

 Pacing

 Freezing

Dogs use body language and warning signs to let humans know that they are stressed.

Symptoms Include:

 Tucked ears/tail

 Avoiding eye contact

 Hiding

 Panting

 Shaking

(AKC, 2019)(Mood, 2019)

 Inconsistent owner behavior

 Confusing commands

 Staring directly at the dog

 Unnecessary punishment

 Saying “it’s okay” before a stressful situation (word association)

It is important for owners to identify triggers and warning signs to help prevent future stress in their dog.

Examples of stressors:

(Mood, 2019) (AKC, 2019)

 Reduced appetite

 Aggressive or timid behavior

 Separation Anxiety

 Internal damage

 Diarrhea

Chronic stress can lead to behavioral and physical changes in your dog such as:

(National Geographic, 2019)

(Wag, 2020)

Remove the dog from the stressor.

 Provide your dog with a safe place in the home where they can escape anxious situations.

 This quiet place can allow the dog space to regroup.

 Don’t overly comfort the dog, as it will only confirm the fears are justified and may make the dog less confident in the future.

(Buzhardt, 2016) (AKC, 2019)

Exercise!

 Physical activities such as walking or playing fetch can the owner you and the dog release tension (Buzhardt, 2016).

(AKC, 2019)

Use Routine Commands

 Responding to routine commands distracts the dog and provides a sense of normalcy.

 Commands such as sit, down, and heel can be calming to a worried dog.

 Make the dog earn treats by performing a routing activity, i.e. sitting.
