general, re-homing is a very stressful experience for dogs. It\u2019s common for dogs to undergo bouts of depression and anxiety, especially if they\u2019re coming from a happy home. They will miss their old owner and may not want to do much at all in their sadness over leaving.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"should-you-put-your-dogs-toys-away\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_you_put_your_dogs_toys_away\"><\/span>Should you put your dogs toys away?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If your dog has a favorite comfort toy, like a soft \u201cbaby,\u201d you should probably leave it out all the time. For young, high-energy and untrained dogs, interactive play also offers an opportunity for socialization and helps them learn about appropriate and inappropriate behavior, such as jumping up or being mouthy.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-do-you-know-when-your-dog-is-sad\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_know_when_your_dog_is_sad\"><\/span>How do you know when your dog is sad?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Signs of dog depression<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Withdrawn \u2013 the dog may have little enthusiasm for exercise or games or joining in with the things they normally enjoy.<\/li>\n<li>Lethargic \u2013 they may be sleeping more than usual.<\/li>\n<li>Loss of appetite \u2013 they may lose interest in food or there may be changes to eating patterns.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5CJTPLlaidw\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"should-you-take-your-dogs-toys-away-at-night\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_you_take_your_dogs_toys_away_at_night\"><\/span>Should you take your dogs toys away at night?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Well, dogs can also find security from a special toy. Now, not just any old toy will make the paw-fect bedtime buddy. Don\u2019t give him anything with squeakers \u2013 that will probably just wind him up and get him in the mood to play! Ideally you want a toy that only comes out at bedtime or other \u201cdown\u201d times.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-do-i-tell-my-dog-i-love-him\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_tell_my_dog_I_love_him\"><\/span>How do I tell my dog I love him?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>5 ways to tell your dog you love them in their own language<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Training and positive reinforcement.

You have to have enough to stimulate your dog.\u201d Schade suggests keeping a few toys available to your dog for daily play and keeping a selection put away.

It can also make them scared or confused. Dogs understand short, concise commands, not angry shouting. Yelling at your dog can affect them for longer than the time you yell at them, and cause behavior problems.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"is-my-dog-sad-or-relaxed\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_my_dog_sad_or_relaxed\"><\/span>Is my dog sad or relaxed?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Pricked upright ears are a sign of alertness \u2013 they tell you if your dog is happy or sad, just focused. Their body\u2019s relaxed. If your dog seems relaxed in their posture and not tense or stiff, this is a good indication they are feeling good.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TpPBjLbdC1E\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"how-do-you-tell-if-your-dog-loves-you\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_tell_if_your_dog_loves_you\"><\/span>How do you tell if your dog loves you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Look for these behaviors from your dog that show you love:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Licking.<\/li>\n<li>Cuddling and leaning.<\/li>\n<li>Sleeping in your bed or in your bedroom.<\/li>\n<li>Staying close to your scent.<\/li>\n<li>Following you around or checking in on you.<\/li>\n<li>Eye contact.<\/li>\n<li>Raised eyebrows.<\/li>\n<li>Tilting head.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"when-should-you-throw-away-dog-toys\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_should_you_throw_away_dog_toys\"><\/span>When should you throw away dog toys?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While many toys can be cleaned with hot water and mild dish soap, Petco urges pet parents to diligently throw away toys once they become ripped, or if the stuffing or a squeaker starts to come out.
