Default Anxiety

Hi

Something has spooked my dog max really badly and he is a bit frenzied during the day when we are out of the house.

Would anyone suggest anything to help calm his nerves without zonking him out?

Thanks

Some people recommend a diffuser/collar product called D.A.P. - its supposed to help dogs with anxiety.

Well before suggesting something to calm him down it might be an idea firstly to identify what has spooked your dog and what behaviour he is exhibiting and when etc.

Is he the same when you are at home?

Can you set up a video camera or something to try and find out?

Hi,
My dog Bruno used to be very nervous and jumpy until a friend recommended silent 4 for dogs from Ron Fields Nutrition, he is now like a completely different dog!
