Newly rehomed dogs often feel unsettled and this creates issues such as:
- House training
- Lack of proper restorative sleep
- Lack of appetite
- General anxiety
- Separation problems
- Freezing on walks
Every rehomed dog goes through a period of transition. Not only do they need to adjust to their new environment, but they also need to adjust to different people in their lives. While many newly adopted dogs settle into their new home quickly, others may experience anxiety and stress. Anxiety is mainly due to feelings of insecurity and that their lives have become unpredictable .
At this point no formal training should be undertaken for at least a month- but there are activities you can introduce during this period of adjustment which will help build confidence and encourage relaxation. Full support and packages are available which will show you how to reduce stress, encourage your dog to relax into his/ her new life and how to introduce them into novel outside environments.
