Dogs are man's most loyal friends, but sometimes they make mistakes that lead to their owners punishing them. However, have you noticed that dogs never resist when they are punished, but only suffer in silence? Do they really understand their mistakes? Let's take a look at this question together, understand the truth behind it, and feel the distress.
1. Innate loyalty genes.
Dogs are born with a loyalty gene to their owners, which makes them prefer to suffer in silence rather than resist when faced with the punishment of their owners. Because in their consciousness, the master is everything, and to rebel against the master is to betray. This loyalty gene makes the dog full of contradictions and struggles in the face of the owner's punishment, which makes people feel heartache.
2. Fear and helplessness.
Although dogs are brave, they often feel frightened and helpless in the face of punishment from their owners. Because of their awe and dependence on their masters, they did not dare to resist and could only bear it in silence. This fear and helplessness accumulates in the dog's heart, and over time it will affect their physical and mental health, which is very distressing.
3. Inability to understand the complex emotions of human beings.
Although dogs can perceive human emotions, they may not fully understand complex emotions such as anger and anger. When an owner punishes a dog, they may simply feel that the owner is upset and do not know why. This state of inability to understand the complex emotions of human beings makes dogs even more helpless and confused in the face of punishment, which makes people feel very helpless.
Fourth, the conditioned reflexes formed during training.
In the training of dogs, sometimes a conditioned reflex is formed, so that the dog has a sense of fear when making mistakes, so as to avoid making mistakes again. In this case, although the dog does not resist, it is full of fear, which can also affect their physical and mental health. With these truths in mind, should we re-examine the way we punish our dogs? Perhaps we can try to guide them in a gentler and more scientific way, so that they can grow better while feeling our love and care.
Fifth, the complexity of emotions.
The emotional world of dogs is just as complex. The beating is not only physical but also mentally torture for them. Some dogs show significant psychological trauma after being beaten, such as becoming timid, withdrawn, and even aggressive. These phenomena all indicate the helplessness and pain of the dog in the face of punishment.
6. The consequences of being beaten.
Long-term corporal punishment of dogs can lead to a range of undesirable consequences. A dog that has been beaten may have a crisis of trust and lose trust in its owner; or the formation of phobic psychological problems, affecting their normal life; There may even be behavioral problems, such as aggression against humans or other animals. These consequences are not desirable to see, and they are not desirable to happen.
"Beaten" is not a good way to educate. We should try to understand the feelings of dogs and guide and train them in a more gentle and scientific way. Only in this way can we truly establish a deep emotional bond with our dogs, so that they can grow up healthy and happy with our care. At the same time, it also makes us feel distressed for those dogs who have been beaten silently, and at the same time, cherish the time with them even more.
