Are you letting your dog dominate your own “pack”, the entire household? Anxiety can kick in when the dog feels like stepping up and when he has to dominate as well as lead the entire pack. He might feel uneasy because of the new role where he needs to keep everyone, including you the pet owner, “in line” to maintain the status quo. As the pack leader, everyone would then have to rely on him for everything including protection as well as guidance. Sooner or later, a dominant dog will form one or several behaviors along the way. If this happens, the undesirable behavior can morph into something much worse that the pet owner might find trouble in reversing or changing the behavior. The pet owner must step in and prevent this from happening; that’s why it is vital for the pet owner to remain as the pack’s alpha leader.
Any concerns you may have about your pet’s behavior should be brought to the attention of your veterinarian care Anderson, IN.
