A PhD veterinarian reveals that 25-45% of dogs urinate inappropriately due to stress or anxiety, and up to 52% do so in response to unfamiliar stimuli.
Suppose you notice your dog urinating indoors, marking its territory, being overly alert, barking at small things, or acting jumpy.
In that case, it’s important to recognize that your dog is likely experiencing stress. This issue needs to be addressed before it worsens over time.
