2. INTERACTIVE GAMES CAN HELP A NERVOUS DOG

Games like fetch or tug-of-war are great games, for a variety of reasons. One is mental stimulation. While searching for a thrown ball or battling to be the winner of the tug-of-war The dog isn’t thinking about their fears, they’re focussed on what’s in front of them instead. The games that are interactive require an appropriate degree of strategy, which gives your dog with anxiety the confidence to utilize their own brain in various situations.

The second one is physical movement. Much like humans. The more capable it feels for you to get and perform tasks and do them, the less hesitant you are to engage in these things. The exercise they receive from these games comes with the bonus of releasing endorphins in the dog’s brain, which makes them feel more happy and comfortable. The more relaxed they feel more relaxed they’ll be!
