Why can your dog seem completely fine one day and then suddenly struggle the next?They may become more anxious, restless, reactive or clingy, or find things difficult that they seemed perfectly comfortable with the day before. If you’ve been working hard to support your dog, these difficult days can be particularly frustrating because they can leave you wondering whether you’ve somehow gone backwards.In this video, I explore why your dog’s ability to cope can change from one day to the next and why a difficult day doesn’t necessarily mean that their progress has disappeared.We’ll look at some of the things that can influence your dog’s capacity, including:• Cumulative stress and why small things can add up• The importance of sleep and recovery• How physical discomfort can affect behaviour• Changes in your dog’s environment and routine• Why progress isn’t always a straight line• Looking at your dog’s capacity rather than focusing only on the behaviour you can see• How taking a whole-dog approach can help you understand what your dog may be communicatingYour dog’s behaviour doesn’t happen in isolation. Sleep, Environment, Exercise, Health & Wellbeing, Nutrition and Behaviour all form part of the bigger picture.A difficult day can be information rather than a setback.If you’d like support understanding your individual dog and putting together a bespoke approach to their wellbeing, find out more about the Happy Dog Reset here: https://thedogwitch.co.uk/the-happy-dog-reset/I’m Lisa, The Dog Witch and Dog Wellbeing Consultant.
