How to calm an anxious dog in those unavoidable, yet stressful situations for our canine pals? This tip is especially helpful for situational anxiety, like thunderstorms or fireworks. Create a safe space for the dog, ideally in a room of the house where the outside sights and sounds are minimized as much as possible. Make the den as comfortable and inviting as possible, with your dog’s favorite treats and toys. You can even play calming music, or if the crate is in view of your TV, stream DOGTV. Spend some time with your dog in this area, providing praise and reassurance, so that they view it as a positive and secure area.

If your dog doesn’t mind being crated, you can use the crate as their safe space, and drape the crate with a blanket to block out some of the outside visual stimulation, and this will dampen the sounds too. Never crate an anxious dog who isn’t accustomed to a crate environment.

How our pets help us
Whichever animals we choose to spend our lives with, it's amazing how much they can offer us:

Owning a pet can keep you healthy by boosting your immune system and encouraging you to get regular exercise.
Older people walk faster and for longer when they regularly walk their dogs and have better mobility in their homes.
Growing up with pets may improve children's social skills and encourage childhood responsibility.
Pets can also encourage children to develop compassion, understanding and respect for living things.
Dogs can be trained to detect drugs, explosives and diseases such as cancer.
Cats have incredible hearing and can detect higher frequencies of sound than humans or even dogs.

If your pooch is pulling on the leash, STOP.
Just stand there and wait for him to figure out that to keep on hiking he must put some slack on the leash.
Do this consistently for your pet to understand what is going on.
