Concern over dog's anxiety?
As I am not sure if your dog is always anxious--I will tell you what we do for ours. We have 2 6 year old Bostons, and our female has high anxiety over any loud noises, fireworks, thunder, doorbells, etc. I saw a program on the tv about how to help dogs that have anxiety problems and they suggested getting either a dog shirt or a small t-shirt (like a toddler sized one) and putting it on them. The clothing makes them feel like they are constantly being cuddled and it lessens their anxiety. I thought it sounded silly, but when people were setting off fireworks I tried it and it worked a treat--she was fine! They also suggested maging the tips of their ears--it's a pressure point that can help calm them down as well. You could try them with your dog--hopefully you find something that works.
