Adoption Update WWW.SPEAKINGOFDOGS.COM Ask the Trainer "Helping Your Dog Adapt to a Changing World: Navigating Growth, Walks, and Safety" As communities expand and urban areas grow, life changes not just for us but for our canine companions too. More people, more dogs, increased traffic, ongoing construction, and busier streets can all impact our dogs in ways we may not initially realize. As responsible pet parents, it’s essential to recognize how these changes affect our dogs and take proactive steps to support their well-being. Understanding How Environment Affects Canine Behaviour Dogs experience the world differently than we do. Their keen senses of smell, hearing, and vision provide them with a unique perspective. While we may see a bustling street or a new high-rise as just another part of development, our dogs might perceive it as an overwhelming and unpredictable environment. When a neighbourhood changes, dogs encounter: More distractions – Increased noise, construction, and unfamiliar scents which can heighten anxiety. New social interactions – More people and dogs mean more encounters, which can be stressful for some dogs. Limited green spaces – The loss of parks or open areas affects their ability to explore and play safely. Recognizing these shifts allows us to adjust our routines to help our dogs feel more comfortable
