Nervous Dog Behaviour!

We have all come across a nervous dog at some time in our life.  This dog behaviour can take three forms. they either freeze, flee or fight.  When the animal freezes it is trying to appear insignificant and invisible.  If this fails it will run away.  If it cant run away then it will have no choice but to stand its ground and fight or bite!

So how can we help the poor animal?  What causes the dog to behave this way?

Well yes, of course we can help.  We can take our pets to a dog obedience class, we can take lessons from an animal psychiatrist, we can slowly build the animals trust with positive reinforcement, we can desensitise the dog over a period of time or, in my opinion the quickest route, we can  introduce a natural remedy for the animal to ingest.  Its all about the animals coping mechanism and naturally helping to put his body back into balance so he can cope better with the confusing world he lives in!  After we have introduced this any of the above procedures will be more successful!


Think of the pressure that we put our dogs under inadvertently.We expect them to behave like humans, and have the same feelings of responsibility that we process.  We tend to forget that the dog is a totally different species to us.  We berate our dogs if they 'don't do as we tell them', the animal gets confused!  We feed them what we believe to be a good nutritious diet, when in fact there is as much nutrition in some of these preparations as what can be found in the packaging that the food comes in!  We expect them to live alone when the dog is a pack animal. In extreme cases they are kicked and abused and put into a re homing facility, only to be taken and introduced to yet another environment where there is a whole new set of rules that he is expected to obey and understand.  The list goes on and on, and i am aware that i am pointing out the worse case scenarios!  Some dogs can have a perfect home but are just of a shy and nervous disposition.  If this is the case then the need to investigate further a safe natural calming product is the best way to deal with the dog behavior.
