Trigger Stacking - A Case of the Mondays

If your dog has been accumulating stress, aka trigger stacking, please keep in mind that it takes a while for all of those stress hormones to recede. When stressful events occur, like the Fourth of July (aka Boomsday), your dog is more likely to have a hair trigger when it comes to environmental changes. Your dog may also become bothered by things that normally leave him nonplussed.
