WHAT IS THE WAY OF SURE-FIRE TO BE LOVED BY A DOG?
All dogs are different, so there is not one surefire way to make you love a dog. However, if you combine these 5 tips, you will quickly be on the right track to make friends!
Dogs usually melt when they see a fluffy dog on the street, and they can not resist the interaction with them.
They have good intentions, but they end up stressing or frightening the poor animal. Why?
Unfortunately, not all dogs are as friendly and confident as you wish. So, in your enthusiasm to introduce yourself to your new friend, you create a terrible first impression.
From there, it's much harder to have a dog that loves you. To avoid these mistakes, here are the five secrets you need to know so that any dog can love you.
1 RESPECT THE DOG'S VOW
The first rule of thumb to make sure that dogs like you is "Do not make assumptions". The mere fact that a dog looks friendly does not guarantee that Toby wants to catch your attention.Some dogs are shy. Others have had traumatic experiences and need special care. In either case, your enthusiasm is frightening because the dog does not know you mean well.
Plus, something in you could remind the dog of a negative encounter with other people - something in your scent or appearance.
Keep your distance, no matter how much you want to approach the dog and pet it. Wait for the dog to come to you and make contact.
2 LEARN THE BODY LANGUAGE OF DOGS
For example, a dog that yawns or licks lips shows nervousness. Other signs of discomfort include:
- tremor
- Head diverted from you
- A pleated front
- Watching someone with white eyes
- Stretched body
- The tail is towards the ground or between the legs
- The wisest would be to back off and leave the dog alone.
On the other hand, a wagging tail, associated with a relaxed body and a moving bottom, usually shows that a dog is open to interaction and that he is curious to learn more about you.
3 TALKING ABOUT A HAPPY VOICE AND LOOKING AT YOUR BODY LANGUAGE
Dogs do not understand our language, but studies have shown that dogs respond to the tone of the speaker's voice.This is why your pet may look guilty when you blame him for his last harm.
So, if you want a dog to love you, watch your tone. It does not matter what you say as much as the way you say it.
In addition to speaking correctly, you must monitor your body language. In your attempts to befriend the dog, you might frighten him by the way you walk and act.
Do not expect unknown dogs because they will run away from fear. Instead, you have to sit at their level. Wait until the dog approaches you on its terms.
On top of that, do not look a dog in the eye. For humans, direct eye contact is a sign of respect, but for dogs it is a challenge. Instead, watch the dog from the corner of your eyes.
4 FOLLOW THIRD RULE
Stroke a dog for three seconds and stop.
If Toby leans towards you or asks for your attention, it means the dog likes your contact and is in the mood to contact him.
You can continue what you do.
However, if the dog moves away and keeps his distance, Toby tells you that he needs more time to feel comfortable with your presence.
5 TREAT TREATMENTS
Delicious treats can allow a dog to warm up quickly and be less afraid of your presence, as Toby will associate it with food.
On top of that, if the dog already likes you, treats will make it wait for your next meeting.
However, do not make a shy dog take treats from your hands. Instead, throw the food to Toby and wait for his reaction.
A refusal to eat the treat is a sign that the dog is very uncomfortable and that you have to back off.
The secret of a successful interaction with a dog is to be patient and consistent. Let Toby take the first steps and respect his borders and his wishes.
