1. ignore the rules
Having a routine and following rules may seem strange when it comes to dogs, but believe it or not, they love it. As with packs, dogs are used to obeying a leader and feel secure when they know what is expected of them.
Establishing clear and fair rules for your dog is essential, and it is possible to do this without resorting to violence.
2. Loud noise
When organizing house parties, we must remember that our dogs have needs and sensitivities that are different from ours. Reducing the music volume and creating a peaceful environment is essential to ensure the well-being of our pets.
3. pull by the tail
A dog's tail is more than just a fluffy appendage. It is an extension of the spine and is connected to a series of muscles and nerves. Rough movements and pulling can cause pain, discomfort and, in more severe cases, serious injury. It is therefore crucial to understand that your dog's tail should not be treated like a toy.
4. Receive visits from other animals
Each dog is unique, and their reaction to the presence of other animals may vary. Some dogs may feel threatened or uncomfortable when strangers invade their space. This can trigger aggressive reactions such as growling, intense barking and even biting.
5. pick up the dog
Although it seems like a show of affection, holding a dog in your lap can make you feel insecure, especially if it is a medium or large breed. Dogs have a need to feel in control of their space and, when being lifted in the lap, they can feel anxiety and discomfort.
Respect your dog's space and offer alternatives to make him feel safe and secure.
