It is not only about seeking comfort in the place of safety, the security of having a safe base to return to may result in increased confidence to explore, practice agency, and learn.<\/p>\n<p>Being the dog\u2019s safe haven means they may seek comfort during frightening events, such as fireworks and storms, or simply seek physical connection as needed. A safe haven improves resilience, emotional well-being, and relationships. The safe haven effect demonstrates the importance of fostering a loving, nurturing relationship with our dogs, allowing them to feel safe and secure.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"5018\" src=\"https:\/\/shaykelly.com\/img_9422-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/shaykelly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/img_9422-edited.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1926,2582\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 11&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1711977971&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;2.71&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.019607843137255&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"img_9422\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/shaykelly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/img_9422-edited.jpg?w=224\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/shaykelly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/img_9422-edited.jpg?w=656\" width=\"1926\" height=\"2582\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5018\" style=\"width:365px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shaykelly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/img_9422-edited.jpg 1926w, https:\/\/shaykelly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/img_9422-edited.jpg?w=112&amp;h=150 112w, https:\/\/shaykelly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/img_9422-edited.jpg?w=224&amp;h=300 224w, https:\/\/shaykelly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/img_9422-edited.jpg?w=768&amp;h=1030 768w, https:\/\/shaykelly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/img_9422-edited.jpg?w=764&amp;h=1024 764w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1926px) 100vw, 1926px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Without a safe haven such as a secure attachment figure or a familiar and comforting environment, the dog may develop anxiety related issues, such as excessive barking, whining, pacing, destructive chewing, or attempts to escape. However, some dogs may simply shut down (becoming withdrawn) due to an inability to escape stress or find a safe haven. We see these behaviours commonly in rehoming shelters.<\/p>\n<p>We need to provide a safe and nurturing environment for our dogs, and build positive and trusting relationships, based on affectionate care and attention.<\/p>\n<p>And guess what? It\u2019s not a one-way street.
