Story at-a-glance
Long-term stress levels tend to be synchronized in dogs and their owners, so if you’re chronically stressed, there’s a good chance your dog may be, too
Excessive barking, crying (including yelping, whining and whimpering), trembling and aggressiveness are some of the more demonstrative stress signals in dogs
More subtle signs of stress include yawning, nose licking, looking away, lifting a paw and panting
Both acute and chronic forms of stress can take a toll on your dog’s health; when the stress is prolonged, it’s associated with shortened lifespan and can also increase your dog’s susceptibility to infections
If your dog is stressed or anxious, daily intense exercise, playtime, mental stimulation and affection may be the antidote you’re after, one that’s incredibly powerful but often overlooked
My notes: Cesar Millan was big into this as well. The dogs who were nervous & high-strung more than likely had the humans who were!
