Pay attention to post-holiday syndrome in dogs
During the Chinese New Year It can be said to be a period of joy and worry for dogs. The good thing is that the owner can temporarily put down work and have more time to accompany and play with them; the worrying thing is the various aspects of New Year's Eve. The sound of firecrackers and other sounds often make them shudder. However, once the holiday is over, dogs will return to their original lives. However, many dogs often have certain differences, and some dogs even develop post-holiday syndrome.
1. The fright of post-holiday syndrome
Basics Dogs sometimes don’t fit in with the roaring sound of firecrackers during festivals, or the New Year greetings and visits from many relatives and friends. Therefore, the owner needs to be more emotional to comfort the dog. After all, in normal life, the dog has never experienced such an event, and it is reasonable for the dog to feel fear. In fact, this is also a good opportunity to train your dog. Get more contact with people and things that you usually have less contact with, so that your dog can become more courageous. In this way, the "battle-hardened" dog will be calm and calm when encountering similar events.
After the Spring Festival, many dogs cannot calm down quickly from fright and fear, so owners should try not to take them outside suddenly, but try to encourage and comfort them They circulate around the door of the home for a short period of time. Then gradually extend the time and distance, and when they gradually confirm that the surrounding environment is safe, the dog will jump around outside as before.
2. The depression of post-holiday syndrome
Spring Festival The holidays are relatively long, so owners will naturally spend a lot more time with their dogs. However, no matter how many days of vacation we take, we still have to return to the original focus of work and study. Therefore, a sudden breakup will cause some problems in the hearts of dogs; they are very dependent on their owners and are afraid of being ignored and ignored by us. So, from being able to see ourselves every day and every moment, to suddenly not being able to see ourThe presence of the dog's presence will make the dog feel suddenly irritable, worried, and neglected, which will lead to the dog's depression. They display extremely harmful effects when they express their emotions, such as chewing furniture, defecating everywhere, tearing clothes, etc., making a mess at home.
If this happens, we need to let the dog understand that independence is normal. Therefore, even on holidays, we should not wait around our dogs all the time. At the same time, we should do some training for extremely dangerous dogs: for example, dogs will be excited when they see their parents getting dressed and getting ready to go out. Barking and shouting. Then we should go out resolutely, do not hesitate, and do not look back as soon as we hear the dog barking. This will only make them more "unsatisfied".
If the dog's barking situation does not improve much, parents should not be irritated because of this and criticize the dog loudly. Understand that everything your dog does is telling you that he or she lacks a sense of security. Therefore, before we leave home, we might as well introduce the dog into the cage, lay out the towel the dog likes, put the food and toys the dog likes, and entertain the dog outside the cage for a while. Closed cage training can help insecure dog babies find a sense of security; and adult dogs that damage furniture when alone at home will naturally be unable to do so again.
If time permits, we can also use the half hour before going out to play games with the dog. Let it consume some energy, so that the dog can rest appropriately after leaving home, making the time of independence less painful. If you have enough time, you may also want to take your dog outdoors for a run, walk, or exercise. In this way, the dog will gradually get used to such a life, which not only eliminates the dog's anxiety, but also allows you to go out with peace of mind, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
