18.08.2023 02:30
Not all dogs are courageous and able to cope with any stressful situations.
Some pets can be called quite timid: they are afraid of every rustle.
However, such dogs have their charm. The main thing is to properly raise such a dog and minimize stress for it.
So, what recommendations should the owner of a fearful animal pay attention to?
Love and do not punish
Punishment will certainly not help make a fearful dog more determined and self-confident.
On the contrary, such an approach will certainly lead to a worsening of the situation.
A dog needs to be shown only love and affection. Only in this case will the pet feel safe and trust the owner.
Don't panic yourself
If you see that your dog is afraid of something, stay calm.
Try to ignore the fact that the animal is shaking and whining. Pretend that nothing happened.
If the owner starts to panic, the dog may come to the conclusion that there really is a danger.
But a person’s calm behavior relaxes the dog: it understands that there is nothing to be afraid of.
Games for walks and at home
Perhaps the best way to rid your four-legged friend of fearfulness is active games.
Interact with your dog both indoors and outdoors. Buy your dog some toys.
Entertainment and exercise will help distract your pet from the objects that cause it fear.
