Your dog does not have bad behavior, he is stressed
When a dog has stress, what he experiences is tension in the face of certain situations that are overwhelming him. At this point, the dog will react by barking nonstop and for no reason, biting and breaking things at home, chasing its tail relentlessly, biting itself, it can be aggressive … Therefore, as it is a reaction to a situation that is overwhelming it You should not scold him but identify what it is that disturbs him and act accordingly. It is important to make it clear that it is not a behavior problem but a response to the stress you are experiencing.
There are two types of stress
A dog can suffer from two types of stress: chronic or acute . The chronic is the one that lasts for a long period of time because the situation that stresses you is constantly repeated. It is very dangerous since the furry can end up developing behavioral problems and it will also negatively affect their health.
Acute stress occurs when the disturbing moment occurs in a specific way and the furry ends up adapting and leaving it. It is much less dangerous and easy to remedy than chronic.
There are certain situations that, in a general way, stress dogs, such as staying home alone for a long time, firecrackers, moving, the arrival of a baby, another pet home, taking them to the vet, changing their routines …
