Is There Any Secret Life Of Pups?
Just because your pup is your best friend doesn’t mean that you know everything about him. There is plenty of secrets that he is not telling you: it is a secret of course. However, you do not need to be kept in the dark. A few dog owners have managed to get a hand on the secret lives their pets are leading, and they have been generous enough to share them.
Do you even need to know about it? Of course, you do! It will go a long way in helping you know just how to make your dog respect you: alongside other benefits that will help you create a strong bond with your pup.
Puppies prefer love to food
Well, this one can be a brainer. It is so characteristic of humans to express love through sharing food. It is worth knowing that it does not work the same way for dogs. Something like a massage will work better for you, or even a walk. Do not focus too much on feeding: unless the pup is hungry, instead dedicate more time to your pup. He will appreciate it and love you for that.
Dogs want some ‘me-time’ too
Did you know that pups get attached if they spend too much time with you? Yes, they do. And it is harmful to them in many ways. One is that they will start having problems relieving themselves, anxiety, stress or even distraction. Teach your pup to be independent. Spend some time away from him once in a while and give him his space. He would love that.
They don’t like loud sounds
It tells you that it is time to tone down, especially if you are in the habit of freaking out the moment you lose your dog. Pups love an owner who uses a calm and soft voice. Also, they are not big fans of fireworks 0or thunder. Do your pup a favor and keep him away from such. Remember that their hearing capabilities are far much better than yours: you can imagine what crackers will do to him. Some enclosed space where he will feel safe will be perfect.
Changes in their behavior is a signal that they may be sick
Unlike humans, your puppy’s behavioral change cannot be blamed on mood swings. Pups will show a decline in appetite, knocking things, abnormal intake of water or weight loss is a signal that you should invite the vet.
Dogs do not like to be rushed to the bathroom
You have probably noticed that your dog loves to circle a particular point before they defecate or piss. Why they have to do this? They need to interact with the magnetic field before anything goes down.
Pups feel neglected and isolated when they are tied up
Instead of tying up your puppy when the visitors come, it would be much better if you take the time to train him. Such will interfere with your relationship. Teach your dog to respect people and behave well in a social structure. There is an alternative, getting him a crate or a kennel will do well.
Pups love to graze
You might be wondering why your puppy likes to work on the lawn. The secret is, you have probably fed them or have eaten something that does not work for them, and they would love to get rid of it. However, it does not necessarily have to be that way; sometimes they are just doing it for the little fun!
Pups are not fond of strangers
Unless you train your puppy on how not to be scared when they meet new people, they can be unfriendly. Not because they are mean, but they are scared of strangers. One great tactic that could work is to start introducing him to people when young. He will grow up being comfortable around people.
Dogs are enjoyable to have around. They make the best company. However, if you want to live in harmony with them, it is essential that you go out of your way to make them tell you a little about their secret lives: well, not literally. But, you need to be keen and study your pup’s behavior. There is a lot to learn.
