Your Xoloitzcuintli is probably a confident, alert dog, not prone to fearful excitement. But let it start thundering and your Xolo is a frantic, crazy mess! Dogs can have fear triggers, just as people can. For dogs, the three biggest fear triggers are thunderstorms, fireworks, and being left alone or separation anxiety. For people, spiders are #1, with snakes, heights and flying right up there. I loathe mice and heights - I'm not sure what I'd do if I was looking over the Grand Canyon and a mouse came up behind me...
Our dog's fear triggers make sense. The loud cracks of thunder or pops of fireworks startle them and may hurt their more sensitive ears.
Dogs are by nature pack animals, so when we leave them alone for much of the day/time, they will mourn the loss of their pack and leader. No wonder they get anxious. Plus, Xolos were used to being treated as royalty and waited on paw and paw. If might behoove you to hire staff for your Xolo as soon as possible.
Relax Dog Aromatherapy eases the effect of the stressful situations for your Xolo… naturally. No drugs…just a gentle blend of aromatherapy oils and your dog can be a bit calmer.
