            A calm and safe environment is essential to help a stressed dog relax. Dogs are very sensitive to their surroundings, and a space full of loud noises or constant stimuli can increase their stress.<\/p>\n

            Crear un Refugio Seguro<\/h3>\n
              \n
            • Own Space:<\/strong> Give your dog a comfortable, safe place in the house, such as a bed or a crate with their favourite blanket.<\/li>\n
            • Ruido Blanco:<\/strong> Usa ruido blanco o m\u00fasica relajante para bloquear sonidos que puedan asustar a tu perro.<\/li>\n
            • Avoid Stressful Stimuli:<\/strong> If your dog gets nervous with certain stimuli, such as street noise, try to minimise them as much as possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Rutina Consistente<\/h3>\n

              Keep a consistent daily routine for meals, walks and playtime. Dogs thrive on routine, and a predictable schedule can help reduce their anxiety.<\/p>\n
