Some things seem harmless to dog owners, but they actually cause stress in pets.
There are several situations that animal psychologists advise to avoid.
Touching the paws
Many people don’t realize it, but a dog’s paws are considered a sensitive area.
In nature, canines treat them with reverence, because it is not for nothing that they say "the wolf's legs feed him". A paw injury means loss of mobility.
If a dog pulls its paw away and starts licking it after you touch it, this is a clear sign that the pet doesn’t like it.
Strong odors
Nature has given dogs an excellent sense of smell. It is both a gift and a curse.
Strong scents from perfumes, essential oils, air fresheners, household chemicals, etc. can cause irritation and stress.
Loud sounds
Dogs hate being yelled at. Dog trainers always advise using a calm and confident tone.
Change of routine
Dogs like to live according to a certain system, they strive for the most predictable daily schedule. This reduces the level of anxiety.
When the regime changes abruptly, it is always a source of stress and confusion.
Long loneliness
Almost all breeds do not like to be left alone for long periods of time.
If this happens constantly, the dog develops health problems. For example, such stress often leads to gastrointestinal upset.
