The Healing Powers of Pet Ownership

It is true. It is scientifically proven. It can be proven personally by you as well. Living with dogs can help keep you healthy and even help you live a longer life! Just to mention a few positive effects living with dogs can be, pet owners suffer fewer minor ailments such as:

• headaches
• colds
• hay fever
• helps lower blood pressure
• reduces anxiety
• boost immunity

There are even insurance companies that routinely ask applicants if they have pets. Affirmative answers work in the applicant's favor.

There is story after story told about people, for example, who have high blood pressure and take multiple medications while in the hospital so they can safely go home. They are instructed to continue taking their medication and monitor their blood pressure which was difficult to control while in the hospital, but once home, with their dogs, who showered them with love and kisses, their blood pressure returns to normal.

Our dogs and cats are not our entire life, yet they make our life whole. Pets enrich our life, and sometimes even give us a valid reason to go on living.

How To Tell When Your Dog is "Scared"

It is important for dog owners to have the ability to recognize and interpret facial expression and body language displayed by fearful or stressed dogs. Why is this an important dog owner skill?

Being sensitive to your dog's emotional states enables you to appropriately respond to situations that make your dog uncomfortable stressed or frightened.

Nonspecific stress-related dog behaviors can be the first warning signs of illness or injury. Being able to recognize these behaviors helps the dog owner to respond promptly and even deliver medical attention before conditions become worse or escalate into emergency situations.

According to studies dog-related training and experience enhances our skills to pay attention to dogs' facial expressions and body postures to correctly perceive fear.

Dog owners in studies consistently identify stress in their dogs as:

• trembling
• whining/crying
• excessive barking and panting
  
• Above: Group of Skye Terriers

More subtle behaviors of stress might include:

• avoiding eye contact
• turning away
• nose licking
• yawning

Facial expressions of stress in dogs might include:

• squinty eyes
• avoiding eye contact
• changes in ear set
• retracted commissures
  
• Above: Sealyham Terrier

Dog studies provide us with behavior cues to pay attention to when trying to assess your dog's emotional state. Most people are able to quickly identify a happy dog, however, fewer people can identify stress and fear. Most dog owners focus upon their dog's body posture, vocalizations or sounds they make and movements as signs of stress or fear rather than the more subtle signs that involve a dog's facial expression and eyes.

Learning to access fear and stress in your dog allows you to respond quickly by helping the dog out of situations that cause fear and reducing or eliminating triggers of stress and/or fear when feasible. Your relationship with your dog will be greater enhanced with this knowledge.

If you are unable to learn these skills alone with your dog, there is always help from dog behavior trainers.
