We often say that dogs are man's best friend, and we are deeply touched by their loyalty and enthusiasm. However, as a dog owner, it is very important to understand their behavioral language, especially the "real bite" and "fake bite" of the dog, which is essential to avoid potential harm. So how do dogs express "real bites" vs. "fake bites"?
First of all, let's understand what a "real bite" is. In the world of dogs, biting each other is a common form of communication, which is often seen as a form of fighting. However, when the fight escalates to a "real bite", it can be dangerous. One of the obvious signs is that if the dog feels pain during the fight, it will let out a wail sound, and if it continues to bite, it is a real bite. In addition, a real bite is usually accompanied by a short, intense whining sound, and the lips next to the nose are turned out to show teeth. These are all messages that dogs are trying to convey through body language that "I'm really going to bite you".
Conversely, if the other party stops or changes the bite when they hear a wail, it is likely that it is not a real bite. It's more like the dog saying "it's just a game, I don't want to hurt you". In this case, the dog may just touch the other person gently with its mouth, or make some simulated attack movements, but will not actually bite down.
So how do you avoid dog-to-dog fights?If you have multiple dogs in your home at the same time, the best thing to do is to overtly pet one of them to help them build a hierarchical relationship. This will effectively prevent them from fighting. Because there is also a hierarchy among animals, once such a system is established, dogs will be able to get along better.
Therefore, no matter what breed of dog, it needs to be taught and cared for by the owner with enough understanding and patience. Only in this way can we truly understand and master their behavior and Xi, and make them our good friends.
Overall, it is very important for owners to understand the real and fake bites of dogs. By observing and analyzing dogs' behavior, we can better understand their needs and emotions and thus take better care of them.
