Electric Dog Fence a stress reliever? Can an hidden dog fence help to reduce anxiety and stress for your dog?
Have you been stressed then taken a look at your dog and thought, gosh I’d love to live a dog’s life, maybe you want to think again. The dog’s life isn’t always as grand as we all think that it is. There is more stress going on in a dog’s mind that humans realize. Knowing about this stress and how to help your dog handle it is the best way to give your dog the best dog’s life possible.
Why are Dogs Stressed?
Since dogs are used to living in packs, it is a major adjustment for them to come live in a home with a mom, dad and maybe some crazy kids running around. Dogs don’t know how to handle this transition very well, they need to be taught how to handle it and given the best possible chances at doing it successfully.
How Can You Help?
One thing that may dog owners do that is a big “no-no” is carrying their dog around. Too little
exercise and not enough freedom will make your dog afraid of his own shadow, so to speak. He will experience separation anxiety, become a picky eater and get stressed out very easily. This can easily be prevented by providing your dog with daily exercise – a chance to stretch his legs, run around and have fun. The key to that fun is YOU too. Taking your dog on walks and playing fetch all combine to make your dog look to you for fun, making your relationship a trusting one.
Dogs need to be trained to earn their rewards such as time outside playing fetch, hugs and kisses and any other good attention from mom and dad. When you properly train your dog to listen to you and then reward him with proper exercise and fun, his stress levels will be much lower which will result in a well-balanced, well behaved dog.
Providing Safe Exercise with an Electric Dog Fence
Of course you need the proper areas to allow your dog to have the freedom to run around outside, play fetch and just feel freedom without putting him in harm’s way. One of the best ways to do this is with an Electric Dog Fence. When your yard is contained with the underground fence and your dog is fitted with a customized containment collar then your dog will be trained to understand the boundaries (about 2-3 weeks). In the end what this means for you and your dog is freedom to run and play in the yard – a major stress reliever for both of you. When you both come in you will both feel relaxed, happy and able to have a stress-free, trusting relationship with your dog.
