In the famous Soviet cartoon “Bobik Visiting Barbos,” two four-legged friends talked about a happy dog’s life. The smaller brothers dreamed of a cozy sleeping place (not in the hallway on the rug) and a whole bowl of sausages, which you put in the refrigerator, and they lie there as long as you like. The owners cannot always guess the desires of their silent friends. They sew exclusive clothes, make hairstyles and manicure, buy jewelry and expensive gifts, and the dog wants one thing: to run around the field without a leash or enjoy a fragrant barbecue.
“All dogs differ from each other in character,” says veterinarian Yuri Nyukhin. – In the West, zoopsychologists are in great demand, who provide psychological assistance to animals. Pets, like humans, are prone to stress. It is often difficult to settle down in a new apartment. Animals can be sad, especially when their owner leaves them for a long time. Also, each dog has its own dislikes and likes. This applies to both humans and animals. Furry friends react differently to many things around them. Country dogs love to chase cars, and city dogs always wag their tails at the sight of cars. Animals have their own habits and preferences. The owner must know well the tastes of his ward, for whom he is responsible. You can highlight common things that our smaller brothers hate. “
Veal tenderness is not for dogs
1. Hug your pet tightly
Our pets don’t like bee hugs on camera. On the contrary, excessive tenderness only irritates and causes aggression. This is unnatural for dogs (have you ever seen dogs hug each other?). Although man is a friend, animals are always on the alert with him. How to be a poor dog, when the big boss pesters with affection. Of course, this is a lot of stress, especially for small dogs. Pets become tense, press their ears back and think only about how to get out of their hands. If you want to express your feelings to your pet, look for other ways. Believe me, your dog will prefer a select piece of beef to your hugs.
2. To impose friends
Everyone is used to thinking that only cats walk by themselves, but everyone always wants to find dogs for a walk among other pets. Even the friendliest dog may not want to date some neighbor’s Labrador or St. Bernard. Also, dogs cannot share your love for certain people. Making your dog wag its tail in front of a charming stranger is a bad idea. And animals also do not know that children are the flowers of life and must be treated in a special way. Moreover, there are breeds of dogs (this mainly refers to service and fighting) that hate children and can show aggression towards them.
3. Make you watch fireworks
Dogs hate launching fireworks during the holidays. The fear of loud volleys is associated with the heightened hearing of the animal (a dog hears four times louder than a person). For the same reason, pets experience fear when they hear thunder rolls. Occasionally, the clap from the opening of the champagne causes panic in dogs.
4. Limit yourself to short walks
“Walk” is one of the most beloved words that all domestic dogs know. Don’t upset your pet with a 10-minute walk in the yard. Try to make time for two to three hour walks (one hour is not an option either). Animals know the world only through their sense of smell. Remember how, in the movie A Dog’s Life, a golden retriever named Bailey enjoyed exploring the smells of country life. The goats especially inspired the dog. Never stop your pet while walking. He needs to sniff everything.
Breaking up with a dog owner is a lot of stress
5. Be in a bad mood
Dogs are able to sense their masters. They are sad if their best friend is sad. Pets love it when everyone around them laughs and smiles. Try not to show your anxiety to pets, learn to control your own emotions.
6. Ignore
Dogs, like children, require attention and care. No special toys can replace communication with the owner. Of course, when you are not at home, the puppy can have fun with a rubber doll or rubber ball (if there are no toys, the pet will begin to chew on new shoes or wires).
7. Punish
Sergei Mikhalkov has an excellent poem called “Important advice”. All dog owners must learn it by heart:
“You can’t bring up puppies
By screaming and kicking.
A puppy raised by a kick
Will not be a devoted puppy.
After a rough kick
Try to call a puppy! “
In no case should you hit animals, click on the nose, shout at them. To calm down the playing pet, you can sprinkle it from a bottle or try to distract it with your favorite treat. In any case, it is better to entrust the education of the animal to professional dog handlers.
Puppies love to play in nature
8. Leave for a long time
Never leave your four-legged friend for an extended period. Dogs are strongly attached to the owner, so separation is unbearable for them. Of course, it is impossible to be with a faithful dog 24 hours a day, so from childhood you need to teach your puppy to find entertainment on his own. For example, so that the animal does not suffer from loneliness in your absence, you can leave the dog on the radio or TV. Hearing the sounds of a human voice, the dog will calm down. In addition, some dogs like to watch what is happening on the screen.
9. Wear perfume with citrus notes
Dogs have an incredible sense of smell, which means they can pick up odors that we don’t even notice. The dog’s sensitive nose reacts sharply to many annoying scents. Alcohol, ammonia-based cleaners, vinegar, citrus fruits, chili peppers are all poisonous to dogs. And a caring owner must protect the pet from unpleasant odors.
10. Kiss
Dogs do not like any kind of veal tenderness. They especially hate it when they press their face against their muzzle. A friendly dog can bite if he feels that you have violated his personal space. Do not run up!
