Over the years, I’ve learned that calming an anxious dog isn’t about one magic fix. It’s about small, consistent things that help them feel safe. These are the three that actually made a difference in our house.

Chihuahuas are not just small dogs. They are full personalities packed into tiny bodies, and loving one changes you in the best way.

Shih Tzus are tiny, fluffy companions with royal roots and big personalities. Known for their affectionate nature and charming looks, these dogs were bred to be companions—and they take that job seriously. For dog moms who love cozy cuddles, boutique dog accessories, and Instagram-worthy pets, Shih Tzus are a dream breed.

Boxers are big-hearted, goofy, loyal dogs with a playful spark that never fades. If you’ve ever seen a Boxer wiggle their whole body when excited, you know they’re impossible not to love. But Boxers are more than just adorable - they’re deeply bonded to their people and thrive in homes where they’re treated like family.
