LIFE IN LOCKDOWN: Dogs Not Ready for Re-Opening
Following months of staying at home, dogs are not prepared for the country to re-open. Animal psychologists predicted a high level of separation anxiety.
Dr. Roger Mugford warned, (quote) “The lockdown is such a massive change in routine. Dogs are building up a huge reservoir of over-dependency. When the lockdown lifted, it’s going to be a huge shock for dogs.”
This could be an unintended consequence of quarantining. Once we return to work, brace yourself to come home and find your dog has ruined the floors with puddles of pee and poo.
