Does your dog seem to cope one day and not the next?

Does your dog seem to cope one day and not the next?
This may be due to their stress bucket overflowing.
For Dog Anxiety Awareness Week, I talk about what the bucket is.
Imagine all the things your dog has to cope with – noises, people, busy places, lack of sleep, overexcitement and this all goes into a bucket. At some point, that bucket will overflow if more of these triggers happen, or appear closer together in sequence. Stress can quickly fill up to the top – the threshold – and overspill.
Now find all the things your dog likes to do. Is that to sniff, or play, or chew? Maybe you have some favourite tricks to do. Each of these activities can help your dog’s bucket to leak out – they all punch a hole in it and the stress reduces.
Balance out the ‘bad’ stress with lots of the fun ‘hole making’ activities to help your dog cope with living in our busy world.
