How do stressed pet owners affect their dogs?
Tanja Weinand"Like man, like dog" – this old saying holds a great deal of truth. Dogs are social animals that are very perceptive of the moods and emotions of their caregivers. Stress experienced by pet owners can therefore directly affect the dog's behavior and well-being.
1. Dogs sense emotions
Dogs perceive stress in us through body language, voice, and even smell. Chronic stress in humans can trigger insecurity, nervousness, or even behavioral problems in dogs.
2. Typical signs in dogs
- Restlessness and nervousness
- Panting or howling for no apparent reason
- Withdrawal or excessive attachment
- Digestive problems or sleep disorders
3. What helps both you and your dog
- Shared routines and rest periods
- Sufficient exercise in the fresh air
- Mindfulness and relaxation exercises (e.g., walks without distractions)
- Support through functional snacks containing herbs that can promote greater balance
