Signs your dog may be experiencing fear, anxiety or stress include:
- Growling, snapping, or lunging, causing you to feel worried that your dog might bite.
- Running or cowering away from unfamiliar people and dogs
- Destruction in the home, especially around exits and entrances.
- Neighbors complaining about barking when you’re away.
- Physical issues, such as biting their paws, licking excessively, or pacing to the point of repetitive stress injuries.
