My dog ​​wants to go for a walk! I can't wait! I summarized the behavior when appealing. When a dog wants to go for a walk, I get the impression that there are many appeals that put pressure on the owner.

Behavior when your dog is appealing, "I want to go for a walk! I can't wait!"

I think that dogs have "something", but I will explain the behavior when appealing the desire to go for a walk.

1. Stare at a close distance

When your dog is making an appeal to go for a walk, you may stare at it from a short distance.

Sometimes I sit next to you and stare at you, it's so close! There are times when I get closer to my face and stare at it.

My family dog ​​is the type to bring his face closer and stare at me.

2. Do warm-up exercises many times in front of you

When your dog is making an appeal to go for a walk, he may warm up in front of you many times.

The warm-up exercise before walking the dog is probably to stretch out the front legs as if pushing up the buttocks, and stretch the back legs straight out one by one.

"I'm ready to go for a walk!"

My dog ​​always goes to drink water after warm-up exercise, but is this also preparation for going for a walk? I think.

3. Horihori the owner

When a dog appeals to go for a walk, it may horihori to the owner.

The owner's knee hori hori hori hori hori hori hori hori hori hori hori hori hori hori hori hori hori hori hori on the owner's knees, even a very small dog for a walk appeal, so it's surprisingly painful, so it's going to be ′′ ok! let's go right away!

Some dogs use both hands to hori hori, and some dogs hori hori with one hand. I think it's a good idea to keep the tips of your dog's nails rounded so that the owner doesn't get hurt.

4. Deliberately yawn

When your dog wants to go for a walk, he may yawn intentionally.

"Let's go for a walk soon...I'm bored...I'm tired of waiting," you might hear someone say. In fact, dogs may yawn a lot when they are bored.

You may be thinking (Isn't it okay to yawn, because barking is said to be "no good"?). This may be because they know that if they speak out, their owners will pay attention to them.

5. Wait in front of the front door

When the dog appeals to go for a walk, it may wait in front of the front door.

You must be dying to go out as soon as possible. I often hear stories of family members coming home from outside, leaving the door open and getting lost. You have to be careful.

It's safer to keep a collar and a tag or tag on your dog indoors, but most of the time it's removed except when you're out for a walk.

6. Follow

When your dog makes an appeal to go for a walk, it may follow you around.

Every time someone in the family moves from room to room, she says, "Are you going for a walk with me?!"

7. Bark until you can go for a walk

When your dog wants to go for a walk, he may bark until he can go for a walk.

I think the owner is also helping with this. Often the only way to stop barking is to go for a walk.

They may have learned that if you bark and demand, they will get what you want.

If the owner yells, "It's not time yet!" Don't scold or yell at them, try to keep them calm.

summary

I explained seven actions when my dog ​​is appealing, "I want to go for a walk! I can't wait!"

  • stare at close range
  • Do warm-up exercises many times in front of you
  • pamper the owner
  • yawn while yelling
  • wait in front of the front door
  • follow
  • barking until you can go for a walk

There are cute appeal behaviors, and there are appeal behaviors that annoy the owner.

If you decide the time for daily walks and go at the set time, I think that the dog will not make an unreasonable appeal.
