Let the dog calm down on its own first.

The owner can temporarily let the dog calm down alone for a period of time, and after the dog's mood has stabilized a little, the dog can be fed canned food, jerky and other snacks that it usually likes to eat, or interact with the dog with toys such as hairballs and frisbees, so that the dog can divert attention.

After the dog behaves better, the owner can hug and pet the dog more to make the dog feel trusted and safe. In daily life, the owner should not deliberately scare the dog.

When frightened, the dog will become listless, hide in a corner, have no appetite, and do not want to see the living.

Dogs usually become listless when frightened, hiding in a corner that they think is safe, and easily refrain from coming into contact with the outside world. At this time, as the owner, the owner needs to create a comfortable and safe space for the dog, not to be disturbed by the outside world, and then prepare a blanket for it to lie down, first to help it slowly eliminate the fear of the outside world.

When the dog is frightened, don't think that the frightened dog will be able to jump around immediately, the owner should have enough patience, pet the dog more, treat it gently, talk to it more, although the dog does not understand what the owner said, but the feelings it must be able to feel.

When the dog is severely frightened, it will tremble with its tail between its legs. In order to protect themselves, dogs will hide in the dark after being frightened. As owners, we should try to avoid the dog being frightened, otherwise the stress reaction may cause the dog to vomit and diarrhea, and in severe cases, it will lead to abnormal heart rate in the dog and cause various heart diseases.

1. Trembling

Dogs often tremble with their tails between their tails after being frightened, because they can't speak, and can only use body language to express their fear, nervousness, and fear to us.

2. Hide in the dark

The dog also likes to hide in the dark because it feels that the enemy in the outside world is too strong, and it is safer to hide first in order to protect itself.

3. Vomiting and diarrhea

Shock will not only cause psychological discomfort to the dog, but also cause some damage to the dog's body. Just as people pee their pants when they are in extreme fear, dogs can easily trigger a stress response of vomiting and diarrhea when they are severely frightened.

4. Abnormal heart rate

When a dog is frightened, the rate of the heart beats suddenly increases and the breathing becomes tighter. If the shock is too severe, it may also cause the dog to experience symptoms such as irregular heart rate or cardiac arrest.
