Sally was rescued from the Dogs Trust. She was a stray from Ireland ☘️ She had been there a long time, and was very timid when we met her.
We didn’t hear her bark when we adopted her for the first few months. Walks were extremely challenging. Sally could not cope with other dogs coming over to say hello. She would growl or lunge if another dog tried to interact - especially more than one dog at a time and if they were off their leads.
She would run at cars, and also make herself completely flat on the pavement refusing to walk. It then became a challenge to have people come inside of the house as she began to bark and growl at them.
Sally didn’t like too much affection, too much stroking would cause her to growl.
If she had an experience which made her nervous in the day, she would often be sick in the night.🥲
Now, Sally has MASSIVELY improved!!! She is now becoming more affectionate & loves her walks!!! Especially at the common. 🦴

So here are my tips for a very anxious dog:

- If you stroke them gently with the back of your hand, this and let them take on your scent by holding the back of your hand, they see this as positive body language.
- Sally calms down on walks when you stop and let them sniff and take in smells in their surroundings.
This is enrichment for them and actually tires them out and calms them down! A short walk with taking in the surroundings is just as effective
- To get them to stop doing something, speak to the firmly but I would not recommend shouting as they will remain in an anxious state
- If your dog likes playing in the garden, re enforce their confidence by not teasing them for a long time, and allowing to catch the ball. With lots of positive language and call them a good boy/girl!
- Be patient and don’t give up🫶🏼
- Sally walks with a yellow lead and collar to inform other dog walkers that she is nervous.
- Every time the postman is causing your dog to react, or a delivery, or a guest in the house, give them treats or play with them/stroke them at the same time to give them positive associations with these things happening.
