I just got a new puppy and ever since I have had anxiety issues. What can I do?
Ever since I bought my new puppy I have had major anxiety issues, I can't seem to get rid of them. I have had hime for about 3 weeks, he is a great dog!! Potty training has gone very good. I just can't get rid of the bad feeling. Is there anything I can do?
Answers:
Take a lot of walks with the puppy. It will be good for you because you have to focus your attention on where you are going and watching what your puppy does. In addition, the regular walks will improve your spirits. If that does not work, try to do some exercises at a regular schedule. I ride my bike and do crunches and my dog tries to "help"(I have a black labrador). Sometimes it is just the added responsibility that gives us anxiety attacks. I went through the very same thing with my first dog!!
