If your dog leans, averts his eyes, yawns, licks his lips, looks worried, or displays other compromising gestures, he may not like it.
Of course, it can also be observed from the following aspects.
1. Touching the face is like hugging. Dogs often don’t like humans touching their faces.
Think of how it will make you feel!
Avoid putting your hands on your dog's face, especially when looking down and toward them.
This is especially important if the dog doesn't know you and may bite you.
As an owner, if you need to give your dog a bath or brush his teeth, do it slowly and gently, and reward and praise him.
If your dog shows a compromising posture, looks fearful, or acts aggressive, back off!
This is when it is most on guard, be careful of getting bitten!
2. Don’t let sniffing and walking dogs enjoy walking for more than just exercise.
Taking walks outdoors gives your dog a chance to explore the world.
Your dog explores the world primarily through scent and then uses its other senses (whereas most humans explore the world through sight first).
It is very inhumane to let your dog go for a walk without letting him stop and sniff around.
It's the same feeling as if someone dragged you by the arm into your favorite store without letting you stop and look at anything.
If this happened at any time, we might all go crazy, wouldn't we?
3. Lack of Rules Your dog may not like rules, but he does need them.
If your dog is acting strangely, it may be because you haven't taught him the rules.
Training is a part of life for your dog.
Schedule is important because your dog also has an internal body clock.
Try to feed your dog at the same time every day.
If possible, set up a training schedule as well.
After a few days of order, you may notice that your dog is happier.
4. Shouting and Punishment No one wants to be yelled at or severely punished (such as being spanked).
Dogs may not understand what we say, but they will sense your emotions when you do.
If you have a sensitive or timid dog, you may find that yelling and harsh punishment can actually hurt or scare your dog.
Being feared does not equate to being respected, and you cannot use this method to strengthen your relationship.
Even if your dog is distant or super happy with you, you may find that "yelling and harsh punishments don't improve your relationship" (which means you just do what you want and repeat it over and over again).
Useless).
Reinforcing relationships in a positive way is generally the most effective type of training.
To correct bad behavior, you can try to treat it in a way that it likes it instead of yelling or hitting it.
Training your dog to "ignore" or "leave it" is the most effective way to stop them from eating or chewing.
You can say "come" or "look at me" to it to get its attention when it does something wrong.
Be sure to reward it when it says yes.
Dogs are more likely to listen to you when you issue a request rather than an unclear "no" or "stop."
5. Dress Up Unless your dog is used to wearing clothes (or as a puppy), he will hate the feeling of them.
Many dogs will tolerate clothes or costumes, but most of the time they don't like them.
Know your dog before you dress him in a bunny costume!
Some dogs like simple clothing such as shirts, but hate having anything on their heads or feet.
Is grooming your dog that important?
If your dog needs to stay warm, start with small, light clothing and reward them frequently.
6. Aroma You must know that your dog’s sense of smell is 10,000 to 100,000 times more sensitive than humans.
In general, dogs like all types of scents.
However, strong scents and chemicals can be disturbing to dogs and even irritate their noses.
As a matter of common sense, it's best to avoid spraying anything directly on your dog.
If your dog needs a medical spray application, avoid his face (better yet, spray the medication on a cloth).
When you use your own products (perfume, hairspray, air freshener, cleaner, etc.), stay away from your dog and make sure the product is non-toxic.
7. Lonely dogs are social animals and they generally hate being alone.
Some dogs find the presence of another dog reassuring when they are lonely, but other dogs just want the companionship of their owner.
In extreme cases, some dogs are truly afraid of being alone and can experience separation anxiety.
The thing is, most dog owners have to work so they can buy treats for their dogs.
You also need to have a life, travel, vacation, etc.
Of course, your dog doesn’t understand this.
So, how to solve the problem?
Spend as much time as possible at home with your dog.
Spend time cultivating a relationship with your dog.
Do daily activities that provide adequate exercise and mental stimulation.
If you travel frequently, find a trustworthy sitter to care for your dog.
