Hello, This is duz😆
Many people are living in a family with their dogs.
If a dog acts like a human, it is not difficult to understand their feelings, but it is not as easy as it is.😥
Today, we will learn about the stressful situations of dogs, symptoms that appear when they are stressed, and how to manage stress. 🧐
Causes of Dog Stress
The reason why dogs are stressed is because
From environmental factors to health problems,
It even ranges from the wrong behavior of the guardian.
Let's take a look at the representative situation. 📌
『Environmental factors』
Moving into a new home, changing family members, or experiencing the adoption of new pets can be very stressful because the surroundings of your dog have suddenly changed.😫
Also, even if you are constantly exposed to loud noises, bad smells, and crowded spaces, your dog can be stressed, so you should pay attention to the environment you live with.
『An emotional factor』
Dogs also feel lonely.
If your dog spends a lot of time alone, you can feel lonely and stressed.
『A lack of exercise』
Dogs use energy through enough exercise, walking, and playing.
If these needs are not met, the dog can be stressed.
『The wrong guardian's behavior』
The guardian's wrong behavior, such as excessive affection or inappropriate corporal punishment, can stress the dog.
For example, the behavior of holding a dog continuously makes the dog anxious and stressed. 😢
As another example, if a guardian shouts loudly for discipline, the dog becomes anxious and stressed, so this behavior should be careful.
Symptoms of puppy stress
When a dog is stressed, various physical symptoms and behaviors appear.
Each dog has different symptoms, but I collected only general symptoms.
『 Change of appetite👄』
When a dog is stressed, it can change its appetite, which can increase or decrease it.
『 Indigestion disorder』
Stress also affects the digestive system, which can lead to digestive disorders such as diarrhea or constipation.
『 Breathing problem 👃』
When your dog is under a lot of stress, your breathing becomes short or irregular.
『 Skin problems』
Stress can affect the dog's skin, so if the dog is under a lot of stress, it can show symptoms such as itchiness, rash, and skin inflammation.
『 Lack of sleep』
Stressed dogs may not get enough sleep or may show irregular sleep patterns.
『 Homologous disability 😵』
The act of circling the same place or chasing the tail is called homologous behavior.
This behavior is one of the symptoms of mental illness, and it can become habitually hardened and later become anxious if you do not act homologously.
『 Aggressive😠』
If your dog is extremely stressed, it can be aggressive.
If you do something to growl or bite, it means that your dog's stress has reached its peak.
『 Improper defecation 🧻』
If a dog who was good at defecating makes a mistake after defecation training, it means he was under a lot of stress.
『 Damage to the object 🤦』
When you are frustrated or stressed because you can't go out for a walk, the dog bites and bites the sofa or things.
This problem is often solved after going for a walk.
How to relieve you dog's stress
Like humans, it is best to relieve dogs when they are stressed.
Let's learn about the typical ways to relieve stress in dogs.
『 A proper walk』
In the case of dogs, I relieve most of my stress by walking 🦮
When a dog goes for a walk, he smells it and relieves stress it also helps your health by increasing your activity.
Even if you take a walk for about 10 minutes every day, you can greatly reduce the stress of your dog.
Rather than taking a walk on the weekend, it's better to take him for a walk every day if possible.😁
『 Sufficient play』
If it's difficult to take a walk with your dog, please play with him.
You can play with your dog and reduce the stress of your dog through communication.
You can easily make nosework toys at home.
Nosework toys are toys that help brain stimulation activities, and if you find and eat snacks through the toys, you can feel a sense of accomplishment and relieve stress.
We looked into the causes, symptoms, and ways to relieve stress in dogs.
If your dog is seriously stressed for a long time, you may develop mental illness or become sick due to poor immunity, so please relieve your stress immediately and continue a healthy life with your dog.
