 Another tip, make sure they get plenty of exercise in the daytime hours. Play and exercise can help a dog remain calmer for longer. Lastly, consider making a safe house for your dog with drawn curtains, dimmed lights, their favorite toys, and plenty of treats so if they do decide to run and hide, they're going somewhere that's going to be secure and comforting. In terms of products, some involve pressure and weight. As dogs feel they're being cuddled even when you're not there to do it, these include the Thunder Shirt and Weighted Dog Blankets.
