5 ways to create a "safe corner" for the dog to relieve stress
Have your friends ever noticed that when lightning strikes, loud flares, or strangers visit the house, the dog often runs under the bed, under the table, or in the bathroom? This behavior tells us that you are looking for a safe zone. Today, let's look at 5 easy ways to create a safe corner for them.
.
1. "Step 1: Choose a calm and dim corner" (The Perfect Quiet Spot) 🚪 🌌
.
A good safe corner should be in the quietest spot of the house, away from the entrance-exit door or the window overlooking the street outside.
👉 recommend choosing a dim corner or a "barrier / cage" and covering the top with a thick cloth to simulate it like a "natural cave" that makes you feel safe and protected from all sides.

.
2. "Step 2: Place soft cushions and clothes that smell on their owners" (Comfort & Scent of Love) 🛏️ 🧣
.
In addition to the thick, soft sleeping cushions that he is familiar with, the most important thing to comfort him is our "smell."
✔️ Put some old clothes that we haven't washed or our favorite blankets in that corner. The smell of the owner's body stimulates your brain to secrete happy substances and reduces stress remarkably.

3. "Step 3: Use Music to Remove Noise" (White Noise & Calming Music) 🎵 🎧
.
When there are fireworks, storms, or loud construction sounds, the dog's hearing instincts are so sensitive that he panics.
👉 Turn on the fan, turn on the TV, or turn on "Reggae-style classical music" and leave it in that corner. These sounds will help White Noise, drown out the scary sounds from the outside, making you focus better on your own corner comfort.

.
4. "Step 4: Stock exclusive toys and snacks in the zone" (Special Toys & Treats Only) 🦴 🎯
.
We have to make you feel that this corner is only good by bringing him a gnawing toy or a snack toy (such as Kong with peanut butter) only when in this corner.
👉 Chewing and licking will help secrete soothing substances in the dog's brain, distract from fear, and cause him to create a Positive Association attitude: "Being here is delicious and fun."
.
.
5. "Step 5: Do not scold, do not drag, and do not disturb" (Respect Their Safe Space) 🙅♂️ 🛑
.
The most important iron rule! When the dog walks into his own safe corner, his friends must leave him alone. Do not force him to drag himself out and do not scold or punish him in the area.
👉 this corner must be a 100% approval zone to make sure that as long as it is here, he will be safe from everything on earth.
.
.
Creating a safe zone for you early on will save your love's mental health for a long time. Whenever he finds excitement, he walks into this corner...Finished, comfortable with both dogs and slaves. 💖
