🐾 Training Tip: Understanding Dog Anxiety & Building Calm
Anxiety in dogs isn’t “bad behavior” — it’s a natural stress response. When a dog feels unsafe or uncertain, it often shows up in their actions.
👉 Common signs of anxiety:
• Whining, barking, or howling
• Pacing or restlessness
• Shaking, drooling, or panting
• Refusing to eat, or avoiding the car altogether
✅ Trainer’s Tips to Help Your Dog:
1. Start small — let your dog sit in the car with the engine off. Reward calm behavior with praise or a treat.
2. Build confidence gradually — progress to short trips around the block, then longer rides once your pup stays relaxed.
3. Balance at home — daily exercise and predictable routines reduce stress and give your dog a sense of security.
With patience, structure, and consistent leadership, even anxious dogs can learn to feel calm and confident — whether at home or on the road.
