I’m a dog expert – why pets are acting strangely and it’s not the heat
Some pet owners may have noticed that their dogs are progressing more than normal this summer. While heat can definitely affect dogs, this special behavior often points to something deeper and more emotional. A leading dog expert says that understanding the root cause is very important to ensure the comfort and prosperity of your dog in warmer months.
Kate Stead, owner of Park House Luxury Dog Boarding in North Yorkshire, spoke He showed that the owners who are preparing to go on vacation for green pantry and can be a reason for this sudden worried behavior. He said: “Dogs are incredibly intuitive; they can take fine changes in our behavior, mood and routines.”
“When you remove your suitcase to start packing, it may be exciting for you, but the association of your pet with a suitcase is probably that you will soon leave them.” “This may cause anxiety and trigger the stress response.”
Why can your dogs be worried?
Dogs may feel anxious before going on vacation for several reasons, but the most common is separation anxiety.
Dogs create strong emotional ties with their owners and to be left alone for a long time can trigger stress and emotional discomfort.
Kate shared: “Separation anxiety is common in dogs and dogs under five years of age, however, can still affect dogs of all ages. At the same time they can be affected by routine changes, they live somewhere else when they are far away or they get used to new people in their homes.
Symptoms of Anxiety in Dogs

- Excessive licking, chewing or other recurrent behaviors

How does it alleviate anxiety before your trip?
The expert says that when preparing for your holiday, you should avoid packing your suitcase in front of your dog. Consider leaving your dog with the ride or a caregiver before starting packaging.
Kate also recommends to packing slowly, not at the same time, which can make the process less worrying. Then, the expert recommends short -taking before your holiday.
Kate, “Wearing your shoes, holding your switches, but actually do not leave the house. Follow it for a short time, let your dog come back.” He said.
Farewell to your pet can be emotional, but this can trigger the anxiety in your dogs. To make it easier to leave, try to keep the farewells as short and calm as possible. A fast, gentle farewell can help reduce your pet’s anxiety.
The last clue of the expert is to carefully review your options for dog seclusion, dog boarding and dog carers.
“Choosing the right person or a boarding/retreat facility for your dog while away can significantly reduce negative relationships that fuel separation anxiety.
“In fact, with the right environment, many dogs not only embrace the new environment in new activities, different circles and sometimes new (human and dog) friends, but also to enjoy this experience.”
