Dog owners have had the experience of their own dog suddenly grinning at you and then running away; Or deliberately put the toy in front of you, and when you reach for it, you quickly snatch it away. These seemingly naughty behaviors actually hide the dog's deep emotions behind them. Today, we will talk about the four behaviors of dogs when they play tricks on their owners, and how owners should deal with them.
1. Pretending to bite someone is actually trying to play with you
Have you ever been concentrating on something when suddenly something gently bites you and then quickly runs away? When you turn your head, you see the dog looking at you innocently, as if to say, "It's not me, it's not me." ”
Actually, it's a dog playing tricks on you. It's a way they want to get your attention, telling you, "Hey, master, I'm so bored, come play with me for a while." So, when your dog does this, you might as well put down what you are doing and play with it for a while to let him feel your affection.
Second, I bring things but don't give them to you, in fact, I want to interact with you
Sometimes, the dog will walk up to you with a toy or your slippers in his mouth, and when you reach out to take it, it suddenly turns around and runs away. This behavior is actually inviting you to play with it.
At this point, you can try playing some chase games with your dog, or teach him some simple commands such as "give it to me" or "drop it". This will not only enhance the bond between you, but also allow the dog to learn more skills.
3. Deliberately walking slowly past your eyes and then running away is actually trying to get your attention
Sometimes, you will find that the dog deliberately walks slowly in front of you and then suddenly spends up running away. This kind of behavior is actually provoking you, trying to test the trust and tacit understanding between you.
For this case, you can try to ignore it and see if it will come back on its own. If it does come back, give it some rewards to encourage it to continue to interact with you.
Fourth, deliberately put things in front of your eyes and snatch them, in fact, you want to play games with you
Some dogs will deliberately put toys or food in front of you and quickly snatch them away. This behavior is actually inviting you to play a game of "snatching" with it.
However, it is important to be safe while playing. Avoid using toys that are too sharp or dangerous to avoid injuring the dog or yourself. At the same time, it is also necessary to maintain an appropriate distance to avoid accidents during the snatching process.
How to deal with your dog's teasing behavior?
When your dog is playing tricks on you, the first thing to do is to stay calm and patient. Don't get too excited or angry, as this will only scare or confuse your dog. Second, try to understand the intent and emotions behind your dog's behavior. They may just want to play with you or get your attention. Therefore, you can enhance the interaction with it by responding to its invitation or giving some rewards.
At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the behavior norms of training dogs. Teach it some basic instructions and rules to understand what behaviors are acceptable and what are not. This will not only reduce the dog's teasing behavior, but also cultivate its good behavior habits.
Finally, establish a deep emotional connection with your dog. Spend more time with it, care for it, take care of it, and let it feel your love and care. When your dog feels your affection, it will naturally become more docile and obedient.
In short, there is a deep emotion behind the dogs' teasing behavior. As owners, we need to understand and accept these behaviors and establish a more harmonious and intimate relationship with our dogs. Through interaction, training and love, we can make our dog the most loyal and lovable companion in our lives.
