Dog bites jealousy? Master, you have to be careful~

Sometimes, your attitude can determine your dog's behavior. If a dog is unfriendly to a family member, have you ever considered that the dog might not be the source of the problem?

I am talking about a door-to-door case in the same city. Mr. WeChat went to ask for help. She had a little Teddy for four years, and now they live with a dog. He has deep conflicts with dogs. He is a little afraid of dogs, and dogs don't like him and often bark at him. Usually, if the dog is not allowed close on the couch or on the bed, he will bark and demonstrate and bite him twice. He tries to beat him up and change tactics to please him, but it's ok because he's from the same city and I wish I could come in and send the dog to train for a while to kick his bad habits.

After I received this message, my first reaction was that this dog has too much status. This kind of question is easier said than done. The simple thing is that this problem is likely to be a habitual problem of the owner. As long as we correct our attitude and do a good job of "making rules" and let him recognize his position, it is easy to correct him. The difficulty is that this is not suitable for training, because even if I train well here, the training gains will quickly disappear once the dog comes home and gets the wrong cues or treatment from the owner. So I chose to look at the situation.

When I entered the door, the puppy barked at me a few times, but after seeing me communicating directly with the hostess, she walked around us a few times, sniffed a few times, stopped barking, and became quiet. I don't think the problem is serious. When I sat on the couch and talked, the dog showed no hostility, instead, he jumped on the couch and lay down next to the hostess.

It can be seen that the first owner of the dog was the mistress, and she was also very clingy to her. However, when the owner wanted to sit on the other side of the sofa, the dog suddenly stood up, barked and fell over, which scared the owner to stand up immediately. The hostess laughed and then told me that Coke is usually like that, she is friendly to outsiders and when she goes out for a walk she also deals with ok which is bullying him which I think is jealousy. After finishing speaking, he hugged the dog and coaxed him with a smile: No, our little Coke is jealous! Then I held him in my arms and stroked his hair to reassure him.

Until the hostess has the dog in her arms, the man can sit on the sofa and the dog barks at him. Obviously, in this family, the hostess is the first, the dog is the second, and the man is the lowest. At least in a dog's mind, that's the definition. So, I asked a few questions, like how long has this state lasted? Who usually eats more? Who is walking the dog? Usually when he barks at the male master, what is the attitude of the hostess and so on.

The more you ask, the more you will know. In fact, it feels like a third party is involved. The dog sees the sudden addition of a human as a third person. At first, the hostess found it funny when he barked, warned and even threatened him. On the one hand, she thought it was funny to be afraid of the dog, and on the other hand, she thought it was cute that the dog ate the wrong thing. This gives the dog the wrong cue that I bit him = owner happy = behavior is correct.

Then, in daily life, in activities such as feeding, walking, playing, etc. that promote affection, the male host seldom participates, because it is useless to give him something to eat or something to please him once in a while. This time, this not only did not give the owner a prestige, but also increased the dog's hatred.

So to sum up, my solution is as follows:

First of all, the hostess should change her attitude, and she should not laugh when the dog is unfriendly to the man. Stop and reprimand the dog in time to let him understand that this behavior is wrong, you don't like it, you are not happy, you will only be criticized, not caressed and rewarded.

Second, a man must develop a relationship with a dog. Within half a month, the male owner is responsible for feeding, watering and taking the dog out for a walk. It doesn't matter if two people walk together, but if it is feeding and watering, let the owner come.

During this period, the hostess must take good care of it and not secretly feed the dog. This is very important for the hostess to reshape his status.

Also, if you can, don't let the dog get up when you're on the couch or in bed. Now the dog's status is a bit high, and appropriate pressure will help him find his position.

After I finished, the hostess said no problem, but the man said he was busy and he didn't like dogs very much, he still wanted me to take the dogs for training instead of letting them do it at home.

I can only say that this kind of problem is a conflict within the family. Dogs are also part of the family. Only by mastering the method can we get along better. What's more, the dog bites you twice, you don't want to drive him away, but you want to train and correct him, it proves that you don't hate dogs as much as you think, try to get along well, as long as the method is correct, It will work soon.

The communication was actually very smooth and in the end, they came to an agreement that they would try to correct the dog's behavior as I gave. Two or three weeks or three weeks later, I received a WeChat video from the hostess. In the video, the hostess hugged the dog and watched TV on the sofa. When he was watching and scratching the dog’s ears, his comfortable eyes narrowed.

Sure enough, a real dog can't escape Zhenxiang's law. The hostess also told me that feeding and walking the dog is like chasing ducks on the shelf. Now, she feels like a third person, now don't talk about feeding the dog and taking a bath, he even caught him, he even bought canned food for a dog online, he used to buy such a little lover, last time he Broke my gunpowder, I hit him twice, he also protected him, he still tried to protect...  

Are there no jokes on the Internet? Said that I want to raise a dog, my father said that I can only keep one dog and I, but I found out later that the person who was despised was me!

So, it's a satisfactory solution, and of course, it's also good for customer communication, the dog's problem is not serious, so it's not too difficult to correct.

Speaking of this case, he also told us that we should pay attention to the status of dogs in the home. At the same time, pay attention to your words and deeds. Most of the time, the dog's behavior is triggered by your incorrect "signs"~
