- White Noise
Use
a fan, white noise machine, or radio to distract your dog from
startling noises. Try playing classical music—it’s known to have a
relaxing effect.
- Check Your Stress Level
Dogs
are sensitive creatures and your anxiety can increase their anxiety.
Try yoga or other relaxation techniques to decompress and find your own
inner calm.
- Exercise, Exercise, Exercise!
A tired dog is a happy dog. Plus, exercise releases serotonin, a feel-good chemical that we humans also get when we work out.
- Give Your Dog a Massage
Giving
your dog a ten-minute massage every day can help relax your four-legged
friend, and is a great way to bond. There are many different techniques
you can try. Just remember to be gentle and make sure your pet enjoys
it.
