[Animals] These are the dogs for people with anxiety and depression; according to experts

[#Steeven.™]

Dogs, in addition to being the best friends of humans, are also allies for the care and assistance of people with health, physical and mental problems. This is indicated by several studies.

These beings are known as Emotional Support Animals (ESAs), although they don't exactly have to be dogs, experts say. These animals help maintain emotional stability, remind them to take their medications or be there when they need a paw to squeeze when they feel anxious or depressed.

What is an emotional support animal? According to ESA Doctors specialists, these animals are trained to provide "security, warmth and joy to people who have to overcome emotional or mental health disorders."

 

These are the best therapy dogs
All dogs, regardless of breed, can be ESA, although specialists also say that there are certain breeds that learn to meet the specific needs of patients due to their nature.

 

These are the best breeds for emotional support:

Chihuahuas
Although they have a reputation for being restless, nervous, anxious and in pain all the time, Chihuahuas are a good choice to become therapy dogs. Due to their size and personality, they are able to spend time with their owners all the time and see to their needs. These are good for people with anxiety and depression, as well as feeling lonely.

 

Golden retriever
Just like the color of their fur and their name, goldens are a ray of light in the dark for their humans when they require special care or support in their toughest moments. They enjoy walking for hours, playing and bonding with other people; the latter forces the socialization of their owners in the outside world. A plus of this breed is that it is obedient, easy to train, loyal and open to giving all the love it can in its heart.

 

Beagles
The breed is willing to help whenever it is needed. Dogs are sociable, physically active and playful, which allows their humans to open up to the world and feel safe under the influence of their personality.

 

Labradoodles
The hybrid breed are loyal and loving. They are chosen as ESA for their friendliness, size, gentle nature with all humans and other animals, for their social anchors that lead to socialization, and for their abilities to support autistic people.

 

Corgis
These dogs pack too much love, loyalty, and a sense of protection into their little bodies. They can help people with anxiety and depression to keep them busy, smiling and safe; by their nature, they hardly cry or growl and their barking is only necessary.

 

Labradors
These are great because of their calm and trusting nature. They are easy to train, always eager to please their humans, loving and responsive. They are also friendly with other animals and have the ability to create strong and loyal bonds with their duels.
