Is your dog scared of something? Or is he becoming very anxious about something?
Or maybe your pet has entered a nervous, elevated state as a result of overly active play or training?
Don't even try to scold your four-legged friend and shout: "Calm down right now!"
It's better to use one of the tricks below. They are much more effective.
Give the dog something to chew on
The process of chewing calms dogs (as well as people, by the way).
Why? The answer is simple: when the jaw and chewing muscles “work”, the brain begins to “think” that the environment has become safe or calm.
To trick a dog's brain, it is enough to give the dog a chew toy or something tasty.
Throw a handful of goodies on the floor
If you decide to give your dog food instead of a toy, it is better to choose a treat guest.
Just throw it on the floor near the dog.
Such an effective technique will prove to be very effective: your four-legged friend will immediately pay attention to the food and be distracted from the source of danger or irritation.
Sit next to the dog
Don't have any food or toys with you? Then sit next to your four-legged friend and start breathing slowly. It also makes sense to start yawning.
Most likely, the animal will “copy” your calm behavior.
