An improved mental state leads to better behavior. Dogs that feel better & are happier, generally act more friendly, more predictable, and more energetic. For example, a dog whose hair has grown too long around the eyes and the hair is impairing his vision, this can cause the dog to act more aggressive or fearful simply because he cannot see well. Therefore, he easily feels threatened and may be defensive. Due to his caution and inability to see, he may not be as active, either. You can imagine how you would react if you were in his situation. Another example is a dog whose nails have grown too long. He may have been more energetic and active before because he could run a nd play and jump without pain. Now he walks awkwardly and is uncomfortable and must adjust his behavior to become more sedentary. In both situations, the dog can become depressed and loose his zest for life. His change in behavior can make him more irritable, aggressive, unpredictable and unhappy.
