You can help relieve your dog’s stress, too. For most dogs, these situations are manageable. Certain dogs may even think they’re fun. For other dogs, though, they can lead to a great deal of stress. Give Your Dog Something Else to Think AboutOne of the easiest ways to calm a stressed dog is to offer them something else to think about that is better, such as a treat or toy. Many dogs benefit from over-the-counter calming remedies. Check with your veterinarian before using any of these remedies, to make sure they are safe for your dog given their health history.

If your dog becomes stressed often or in response to many triggers, see your veterinarian. After ensuring that your dog’s behavior does not have a physical basis, your veterinarian may refer you to a trainer or veterinary behaviorist for further assessment. A treatment plan may include behavior modification, a change in the daily routine, medications to relieve physical discomfort, and medications to reduce the emotional response to the triggers. As with humans, exercise can be a great stress reducer. For healthy dogs, physical activities such as walking or playing fetch may help both you and your dog release tension. It is also important to provide your dog with a safe place in the home where they can escape stimuli that trigger a stress response.
