What are your top tips to help calm dog anxiety? My dog gets so anxious and not sure how to help him without medications.

I just try to limit the things that stress her when possible. I can't prevent thunder so I will just calm her and be extra affectionate during those times. I'm anti-medicine whenever possible.

Keeping your dog in a safe environment and being aware of its triggers. Mine is really nervous about many people and loud sounds so we usually take her for walks where there are fewer people and soothing her when there are any loud sounds outside!

Hi! Well firstly, you should create a safe and comforting environment for your dog. Provide a cozy den-like space where they can retreat and feel secure, filled with their favorite toys and bedding. Establish a daily routine to provide structure and predictability, as dogs thrive on consistency. Another tip is to engage your dog in regular physical exercise to release pent-up energy and promote relaxation. Mental stimulation is equally important, so incorporate puzzle toys, interactive games, and training sessions to keep their mind occupied and focused.
