Sometimes owners cannot always understand their pets.
At the same time, people often resort to various actions that animals do not like at all.
Certain habits of owners can irritate dogs and make them nervous.
Loud voice and active gesticulation
Dogs don't understand human speech very well.
But they are excellent at reading other signals, particularly tone of voice and gestures.
Therefore, when communicating with a dog, you should not speak loudly or wave your arms actively.
After all, the pet may perceive this as a threat, and therefore consider such behavior a harbinger of some kind of danger.
Therefore, the animal's reaction in such a case may be appropriate.
Attempts to pet
Owners can pet their pets on the face, head or ears. But such actions can irritate pets.
So it is worth paying attention to the animal’s reaction.
If your four-legged friend turns away or starts to back away, then he most likely does not like such actions.
An animal may have a similar reaction if a stranger tries to pet it.
Inappropriate hugs
A person, hugging a pet, tries to show his love and tenderness.
But in animals in such a situation everything is different. In nature, such actions mean attempts to dominate.
Therefore, when a person tries to hug a dog, the dog may experience fear and anxiety.
So in this case, it is also worth monitoring the reaction of your four-legged friend and stop hugging if he does not like it.
