Summary: Audio edition of the article A Balanced Dog: Coping Skills and Stress Management from the Life As A Human online magazine website. You can visit Canine Nation to find this and other articles. To look at most of our dogs, it’s hard to think of them as “stressed out” as they snooze happily in that patch of sunlight, yet all dogs experience stress, some more and some less — and it’s how they learn to cope with it that is most important. NOTE: Text articles at Life As A Human include embedded links and videos that provide additional information. Some links from this article are listed below: British Government website on the "Five Freedoms" for domesticated animals. This week's recommendation is the Clicker Solutions website run by author and dog trainer Melissa Alexander. Clicker Solutions has lots of great articles and links to great resources for dog trainers and dog owners. You can also find a Clicker Solutions discussion group by searching Yahoo Groups for "Clicker Solutions." Check this one out!
