The article discusses the struggles faced by dogs displaced from their homes due to the Eaton wildfire in Altadena, highlighting the importance of routines for their emotional recovery. Dog trainer Eldon suggests that such dogs, like humans, require a familiar environment for stability. Natalie Langan, owner of Trailhead Hounds, provides insights on helping displaced pets adjust, emphasizing the creation of a 'new normal' for both pets and their owners. The emotional connection between the pets and their grieving owners is also outlined as a significant factor in the animals' well-being.
Dogs see the world in patterns. That's how we're able to train them, said Langan, who advises clients who lost their homes to establish new routines for their pets.
Some dogs and cats have made multiple moves since the fire and had to get used to new surroundings over and over again. That can put them on edge and heighten their separation anxiety.
