How to calm a dog

Ultimately, how you decide to calm your dog will depend on the situation. Strangers, thunder claps, firework booms, garbage trucks, trips to the veterinarian, and other animals can cause your dog to become scared, anxious, or excitable. Our instinct is to coddle and to hug, but there are better ways to handle the situation — ones that will teach your dog not to be afraid, anxious, or excitable. In order to calm a dog, you’ll need to interpret your dog’s behavior and take the time to understand what is causing your dog’s reaction.

Method 1
Calming Your Dog

*Recognize the body language of an anxious dog*
Dog body language is complex and can often be misread.There is no universal sign of anxiety or fear to look for because every dog reacts differently.
It is not unusual for one fearful dog to act aggressive and another to run away and hide. Both dogs want to be safe, but they process the situation differently.
Signs of Anxiety in a Dog
- Hunched body posture
- Averted gaze/dilated pupils
- Ears held down or slightly backwards
- Furrowed brow
- Whining
- Shaking/shivering
- Sweaty paws
- Loss of bladder or bowel control

*Understand the cause of your dog’s behavior*
Most of the time, this will be obvious. Your dog is clearly afraid of thunder, a specific person, a loud sound, or a particular space. Put yourself in your dog’s place.
You know little of the world, but you see something formidable. How would you react? Have empathy for your friend.

*Minimize the source of anxiety*
Take your dog into another room if a particular person is making it anxious. Close the blinds and turn up the music to mask the sound of thunder or fireworks. If your dog wants to turn tail and hide in its safe space, perhaps its crate, cover it with a light blanket, to help muffle the frightening sound. Again, the method you choose to employ to calm your dog all depends on what it is afraid of.
You can create a safe space for your dog, by opening a door to a room away from the loud sounds or your can crate train it. In the latter case, your dog will come to find its crate to be the most comforting place of all
