Perhaps most dog owners have seen the news today about a pit bull biting its owner. Tragedy has happened, and we can learn from it. The pit bull in the news is itself a fierce dog and is not suitable for domestication. Many people have many misunderstandings in the process of raising dogs. Below, the editor will combine the opinions of experts to talk about four common misunderstandings about raising dogs.
Misunderstandings about raising dogs
Misunderstandings 1: All breeds are suitable for domestication
Many people believe that no dog is suitable for domestication. It turns out that this assumption is wrong and even dangerous. Fierce dogs like pit bulls are functional dog breeds and are not suitable pets for the abbot's family. Once raised improperly, they will pose a threat to themselves and others. Not all breeds of dogs can be raised at home, but aggressive dogs and large dogs should be raised with caution. If you have a special preference for fierce dog breeds, it is recommended that dog owners must systematically study the knowledge of this breed in advance. If you are unable to change the dog's habits, it is best to seek help from a qualified pet school immediately to correct the dog's bad temper in a targeted manner.
Myth 2: Good habits can be cultivated slowly
From birth to three and a half months is the golden period for cultivating good habits. Raising a dog is equivalent to raising a child. People should develop good habits from an early age, and dogs are the same. If the dog has already reached adulthood, it will be particularly time-consuming and tiring to correct its bad behavior. From the time a pet dog is born to three and a half months old, it is the golden period for dog rehabilitation activities. During this period, dog owners may wish to use food stimulation to make the dog understand what actions will be praised and what actions will not win the favor of the owner. Never think that the dog is too young, does not understand after being taught, or is cute and cute, so just ignore it.
Some dogs are friendly to their owners, but are highly aggressive towards other people and other dogs. While making the pet dog surrender to its owner, it is also necessary to let the pet dog know that it must treat the owner's partners and others in a friendly manner. To achieve this goal, you may want to let your pet dog play with other people and other pet dogs.
Myth 3: A dog does not bear a grudge if it is beaten by its owner
No matter what kind of dog it is, it will always hold a grudge after violence is done to it. . It is most undesirable to train a pet dog by scolding. Never think that the dog you have raised since childhood will not treat it well.Hold a grudge against yourself. Dogs cannot understand human speech, but dogs can generally infer human emotions through the tone of human voices, body movements, and facial expressions. So don’t hit the dog if you can avoid it, to prevent the dog from remembering and taking revenge.
Myth 4: Stamping feet and blaming can scare dogs
When a person’s tone is tight and the volume is high, some pet dogs will lower their heads. The body trembles and hides away. The language the dog releases at this time is a kind of self-protection. This is the animal's original ability to avoid human threats to it. When such a threat escalates into direct physical harm, the dog will also react to the degree of harm. When controlling a pet dog, the owner is prone to scold impulsively while stamping his feet vigorously, thinking that this can scare the dog and make it naughty. In fact, this kind of behavior is the most likely to induce the dog to attack. If the owner is still holding something violent at this time, the dog is likely to attack the owner in order to protect itself.
Raising a dog is actually a common sense. You should treat dogs as you would treat children, with love and patience. I also hope that owners can recognize some of the misunderstandings, so that they can make fewer mistakes during the breeding process. If you raise a dog, you must control the dog, yourself and others. The most important thing is to raise a dog culturally and safely.
