3 things dogs are afraid of

fears that dogs may have

With all this, we must know that despite their functions and great activities, the dogs too they are living beings that they can feel. Among so many things, fear is one of them and this is how today's article takes a starting point by exposing this topic.

Like humans, it is possible to deduce what dogs can get to feel at a certain moment from their behavior. Among the things we can denote are the stress, anxiety, joy and fear. For the subject of this article (fear) the possible behavioral traits of the dog can be:

Frequent barking, as well as a noticeable, high-pitched tone in them.

They tend to lie as close to the floor as possible.

He performs his needs in infrequent or prohibited places.

Tends to shake

His ears point back

They place their tail between the back legs

They escape the place as much as possible

They grunt and show their teeth

When you open your eyes, the pupils may look dilated

They seek shelter even when they are in a safe place

In most of these cases, dogs can be very fragile to any human behavior, so much so, that the most advisable in terms of behavior is simply to respond in the same way that we always do within our routine and it is as simple as that. Even behave as if something is not happening, because remind us that dogs are capable of knowing our emotional states from the hormonal secretion that they imply through their sensitive sense of smell.

It is important to keep in mind the calm and ability to premeditate the consequences of our actions both for ourselves and for those around us. Thus, we will expose 3 things to which dogs, in general, can show some fear:

This is due to their hearing, which is very sensitive. Among the things that can be threatening we have the fireworks, storms, thunder, the same screams of people, hair dryers, car horns, police, lawn mowers. What for us can be a quite tolerable noise, for them it can be a torture worthy of fainting, because your hearing is 3 times more sensitive than ours.

Changes

the changes do not take them well

They may be quite shocking for dogs, especially for those who have a whole life living in a certain place, with the same people, the same foods and the same events at a cognitive level.

The humans

And it is that parenting plays another important role at this point, since it is It basically deals with the treatment that as a puppy it may have been in relation to other human beings, from which, the dog will take the most opportune behavioral repertoires for its survival.

Next, the other dogs can be another element and this part of a theme linked to their breeding, since it seems that the early separation from the mother implies the habit of living outside of constant interaction with the dogs; Likewise, to this we can add the jealous treatment that we can give some owners, which ultimately can become someone who is not a lover of socialization.
