TRIGGER STACKING – WHEN BEHAVIOUR HAPPENS “OUT OF THE BLUE”

We’ve all had those days when nothing seems to go right and one frustrating thing after another happens to us, leaving us feeling wound up, stressed and ready to explode at the next unsuspecting person who dares to ask us something.

This “unsuspecting” person may think we have a serious behaviour problem or need anger management therapy, when the truth is that we’ve just had a really bad day or even a few bad days and don’t usually behave like this at all.

Dogs are no different and a behaviour that seems completely out of character or happens “out of the blue” is often caused by “trigger stacking”.

A trigger may be anything that increases a dog’s stress levels and has a negative impact on their emotional, mental or physical state.

These may be small things that we may not even notice or seem insignificant to us, but they are all adding to an increasing “stack” of events that may culminate in out of character behaviour.

When stress levels reach a certain point, the next stressful event, however small, may cause an explosive reaction that is completely unexpected.

Instead of just focusing on a particular behaviour and seeing it as a problem that needs to be prevented, take a step backwards, look at the bigger picture, look at events, circumstances or environmental factors that may have played a role leading up to that behaviour.

Being aware of potential stressors and allowing your dog time to decompress, relax and unwind for a few days will often mean the difference between “normal behaviour” and a behaviour that seems completely out of character.

We are appealing for witnesses following allegations of animal cruelty in West Byfleet and Esher believed to involve the same owner and dog.

On Thursday, 26 September at about 8.40am, a man was reported to have grabbed a dog by the scruff of the neck, carrying it some distance across West End Green in Esher, and then throwing it into a blue car.

On Tuesday, 1 October at about 11.20am, a man was reported to have grabbed a dog by its neck at the Jet petrol station on Oyster Lane in West Byfleet, carrying it by its neck across the forecourt and throwing it into a blue car.

A man in his 20s has been arrested on suspicion of animal cruelty/causing unnecessary suffering to an animal. He has been released on police bail with conditions that include not buying or having control of a dog for the duration of the investigation.

A tan/stone coloured Cane Corso puppy has been seized by police and given medical care by a vet.

We know that there were witnesses to these events who tried to come to the dog’s defence, and we would really like to speak to them as their information could prove crucial to our investigation.

If you have any information that might assist our enquiries, please DM us quoting:

PR/45240117461 for the incident on West End Green in Esher on 26 September.

PR/45240112423 for the incident at Jet petrol station on Oyster Lane in West Byfleet on 1 October.
