Maintaining the Calm<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\nKnowing how to restrain your emotions is just as important as knowing how to handle dogs. Everyone has bad or stressful days, but dogs will notice your stress or anxiety, and then they will act nervous as well.<\/p>\n
If you feel stressed, you need to calm yourself first before you work on a nervous dog. Dogs view a stressed human as unstable, and who wants an unstable person working on her?<\/p>\n
Essential:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/em>Take care of yourself. Get enough sleep, and remember that a little exercise goes a long way. Don’t overburden yourself. Learn to say no and mean it. Learn when it’s best to just forget it and start another day. Pushing yourself while you are under stress may end in a horrible accident.<\/p>\n
Practice calming yourself by counting to 100 slowly; breathe deeply through your nose and slowly exhale through your mouth. Ask yourself why you are upset. If the dog is acting up, take him for a walk. Maybe he needs to relieve himself. Get him a drink of water. Sit down and pet him for a while. Relax the dog.<\/p>\n
Don’t attempt to work on the dog when you are losing your cool. This is when accidents happen. Breathe deeply several times. Talk softly to the dog and pet her; don’t let your emotions get the best of you.<\/p>\n
If that doesn’t work and you find yourself becoming frustrated, put the dog in a crate or another secure area. Take a break, get a drink, sit down, and rest for a while. If you just can’t seem to calm yourself down, call it a day. Groom the dog another day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
