Curiosities about dogs: what makes people jump

Find out in the following lines some curiosities about dogs and the habits they do not tolerate in humans, but often tolerate them. Did you know that these things irritate your pet?

What your dog doesn't like about you:

1. You talk a lot, but you don't convey anything through body language.

People like to talk a lot, but dogs deduce few words from what they hear, and those are usually direct commands. Indeed, some dogs have been able to learn the meaning of hundreds of words, but those cases are rare and require a lot of patience and professional training.

What you don't know about dogs is that they are better at body language, and words confuse them more. They understand more easily the commands you indicate by gestures than those you explain by words.

2. You hug him tightly.

You love to hug your furry friend because that way you express all your feelings, but he is not so evolved as to understand your gesture.

Rather, he will perceive this movement as one that demonstrates dominance. Some dogs tolerate hugs, while others react violently, especially if they do not know the person who treats them in this way.

3. Caress his face or head.

Do you like to be petted on the head? What appears to be a gesture of affection may irritate a dog.

They may react well when they are in the company of people they know, but they do not like their personal space being invaded by other people.

4. You make him interact with people or animals he doesn't like.

You think you're doing him a favor and helping him make new friends, but your dog isn't as happy with the decision you've made.

Never overdo it in terms of socializing, otherwise, you never know how your dog will react. You need to gradually learn to read his behavior.

5. Go for a walk with him, but don't let him explore certain places.

How many times have you not shot your dog when he wanted to smell something found on the floor?

You probably didn't find anything interesting there, so you thought you were wasting your time, but this is one of the trivia about dogs. These pets have a very developed smell, so they can detect many things around them.

Just as we humans appreciate the beauty of a sunset, so dogs love to stop and smell a tree where another dog was. Strange for us, but pleasant and interesting for them.

6. Hold him tight on the leash.

It is important to know how to train your dog, otherwise, he will always pull you after him when you go for a walk. And holding it tight on a leash doesn't help much.

On the contrary, your pet will feel your stress and anxiety, conditions that you will transmit to him through your behavior.

7. You're boring.

The dog has a desire to play, and you are busy with other activities. The outcome? She finds something to do on her own, but you won't be happy with what she left behind. Their passion for shoes is just one of the dogs' curiosities.

You can consider your pet a child who still does not distinguish what is bad from what is good. That's why it's important to always have time for it.
