Brilliant article. Its often very overlooked that after certain high stress situations the body is still flooded with stress hormones for some time after, very often due to frequent exposure the levels never get to return to normal and not only does this keep levels high, it can be physically demanding on the dog and result in bad health to body and mind. In behaviour side effects many if these dogs need a long rest from particular environments, sometimes months before any real counter conditioning and desensitizing can take place. Chronic stress affects us all and we need a break from daily life from time to time. Many dogs are forced into daily environments that make them much worse...we gave a choice to stay away from places that stress us, sometimes our dogs need that too.
