Understanding Stress in Pets
Stress in pets can arise from many different situations. Changes in the environment, such as moving house, a shift in routine, or the absence of a human or animal companion, may trigger feelings of anxiety. Traumatic or uncertain events can also contribute to both acute and chronic stress, leaving an animal unsettled and vulnerable.
Pets often show signs of struggling when they cannot cope with new experiences. Boarding kennels, veterinary visits, new pets in the household, or separation from their bonded humans can all create emotional strain. Shelter and rescue animals, in particular, may carry memories of past trauma and require extra comfort and reassurance.
Fear, stress, and even depression can manifest in ways that owners sometimes mistake for disobedience or aggression. For example, moving house can cause significant strain on felines, while dogs that suddenly become aggressive may be reacting to an underlying painful condition. Research highlights that otherwise gentle animals can lash out when they are in discomfort, sometimes showing defensive body posture, sudden outbursts during handling, or reacting aggressively without warning.
Pain is also a critical factor. Noise sensitivity, for example, has been shown to be a subtle sign of pain in dogs. A sudden change in temperament—such as a calm, friendly dog or cat becoming unexpectedly aggressive—should always prompt a thorough veterinary examination. Hip dysplasia, undiagnosed dental pain, arthritis, or internal discomfort are all possible contributors.
Older animals may also show clinginess as their eyesight begins to fade, with cataracts or other age-related changes leaving them feeling insecure. Younger pets, on the other hand, can display uncertainty when they pick up on the emotional energy of their environment. Checking basic health markers such as teeth, stools, urination, eyesight, and feeling the body for lumps is an important part of ruling out physical causes.
Separation anxiety is another common concern. Dogs are naturally pack animals and, in the wild, rarely separate from their group. In the home, this instinct can lead to difficulty when left alone. A dog with separation anxiety may howl, bark, chew, or pace when their human companions are away. Returning home to this kind of behavior often signals that your pet is struggling with being apart from you.
Practical tools such as Tellington TTouch, developed by Linda Tellington in the USA, can be valuable in helping stressed or anxious animals. This gentle method has been shown to relax both dogs and cats, restoring calmness through touch. Demonstrations and practitioner resources are widely available online.
TTouch Daily Ritual for Dogs and Cats * For cats can leave out the Body wrap
A daily grounding and connection practice for dogs who pull, bark, or become over-excited.
Morning Routine — Grounding & Connection (5–10 minutes)
- Arrival: Sit quietly with your dog before the walk. Breathe slowly, grounding your energy. Let your
dog meet you in stillness before touch begins.
- Clouded Leopard Touch: Begin at the chest and shoulders. Use gentle circular motions, 1¼
turns, just moving the skin. Continue down the sides. Loosens the shoulders and reduces pulling.
- Ear Slides: Gently stroke from base to tip of each ear, 4–5 times. Calms and sharpens focus.
- Body Wrap (optional ): Wrap a soft bandage in a figure-eight around chest and ribs. Encourages
awareness of balance and reduces lunging.
- Balanced Start to the Walk: Hold the leash lightly. If your dog pulls, pause and wait for softness
before continuing. Walk as a moving meditation of connection.
Evening Routine — Release & Reset (10 minutes)
- Full-Body TTouch: Use Clouded Leopard and Raccoon touches in slow spirals down the body.
Releases tension from the day.
- Ear Slides & Muzzle Touches: Repeat ear slides. Add small circular touches around the muzzle
and jawline. Soothes vocal and nervous tension.
- Heart & Rib Circles: Place one hand over the chest or ribs and make slow, wide circles.
Encourages deep relaxation.
- Stillness: Let your dog rest beside you. Rest one hand lightly on them — no movement, just
presence. End with silent gratitude.
Remember: This ritual is a conversation in touch, rhythm, and trust. Keep it soft, brief, and full of presence.

The Clouded Leopard
Using the pads of the fingers lightly curved, do circles, keeping all three knuckles joints soft and moving as you make each circle.
Ear Slides
Sit beside the animal in a quiet place.
Hold the ear between your thumb (inside) and fingers (outside). Start at the base of the ear, where it joins the head. Slowly slide your hand along the ear toward the tip, using light, steady pressure. Repeat the stroke several times on each ear. Work slowly and rhythmically — the goal is relaxation, not stimulation.
Muzzle Touches
Gently rest one hand on each side of the muzzle.
Fingers along the jawline, thumbs resting lightly on top near the nose bridge. Hold softly for several breaths, allowing warmth and calm to flow through your hands. Optionally, make small circular strokes along the sides of the face. Continue until you feel the animal soften, breathe slower, or sigh.
❤ Heart Circles
Place the flat pads of your fingers (not the tips) lightly on the chest area, just over the heart (left side of the chest).Move the skin in that gentle circle-and-a-quarter motion, very slowly.
Pressure should be about the weight of your hand resting naturally — not pushing.Do 2–3 circles, then pause, and maybe move your hand to a slightly different spot.
Rib Circles
Place your fingers gently on the ribcage (just behind the shoulder, or further back along the ribs).
Use the same circle-and-a-quarter movement, one hand at a time.
You can also let your other hand rest lightly elsewhere on the dog (for grounding).
Follow the rhythm of your dog’s breathing — avoid forcing them to adjust to you.

Signs of Stress in Pets
Recognizing stress early can help prevent escalation and improve wellbeing. Common signs may include shaking or trembling, excessive licking or grooming, hiding or avoiding interaction, chewing or scratching furniture, pacing or restlessness, loss of appetite, changes in toileting habits, dilated pupils, or sudden aggression. In dogs, separation anxiety may show up as barking or howling when left alone, while in cats it may appear as overgrooming or inappropriate urination.
