Dogs show stress through various physical and behavioral signs. Spotting these early lets you solve problems before they grow.

Physical Signs

Excessive drooling, panting, trembling, shedding and loss of appetite can be bodily signs of stress.

Behavioral Signs

Excessive barking, hiding, restless pacing, destructive behavior or avoidance are behavioral reflections of stress.

Find and Reduce the Source
