Übermorgen ist der 1. August. Das heisst wieder: Feuerwerk, Knallerei - und Stress sowie eventuell Angst beim Hund. Und gerade wenn unser Hund Angst hat, fühlen wir uns oft hilflos und überfordert. Oftmals suchen wir dann Rat und Hilfe im Internet. Dabei stossen wir auf zwei Tipps, die gegensätzlicher kaum sein könnten: "Ignoriere deinen Hund, sonst machst du's nur schlimmer!" und "Unterstütze deinen Hund, das hilft!".
Was ist an diesen beiden Aussagen dran? Was hilft denn nun? Und was sagt die Wissenschaft dazu? Diese Fragen versuche ich, in dieser Folge von Rund um Hund zu beantworten.
