Owners of anxious dogs know very well how painful it is to watch their pet go through stress. Whether the dog paces around the apartment nervously when left alone, trembles during a thunderstorm or barks constantly, most solutions either do not help or take a long time to show results. However, there is something that many have not yet tried, and it works surprisingly quickly - classical music, reports Index.hr.
Serenity Strul adopted Margot, a pit bull mix who suffered from severe separation anxiety. Strul tried everything - from trainers and vets to different calming techniques. Margot was even on medication, but it caused her seizures. At the end, a coach suggested playing classical music. As the BBC reports, the change was almost instantaneous. Security camera footage showed how Margot went from a nervous barking dog to an animal that slept peacefully, even when her owner stayed out late into the night. Neighbors, who had previously complained about the noise, stopped texting altogether. Her case is not the only one - studies confirm that this technique works for most dogs. Researchers from Queen's University Belfast conducted research on the effect of classical music on dogs in shelters and private homes. They compared the effect of music with audio books and complete silence. Classical music proved to be the most effective - dogs were noticeably calmer during stressful situations such as driving a car or visiting the vet. The results showed that more than 70 percent of dogs in shelters and 80 percent of dogs in homes showed fewer symptoms of anxiety, such as nervous walking, shaking or panting, "ParadePets" writes.
