如何培養狗狗可愛的個性？

Pets are a great way to relieve stress. Coming home to a warm welcome from your dog instantly melts away all the day's fatigue. Happy furry friends are more likely to interact with their owners, providing better emotional support. Every pet has a different personality, and they all need our companionship and love. GGH shares some tips on cultivating a dog's personality.

A study led by the Department of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Massachusetts indicates that every dog is an individual, and their personality differs from breed stereotypes. Raising a pet is very similar to raising a child; dogs possess certain habits and needs in their genes, also known as their social instincts, which can help us understand them, guide them, and cultivate good habits.

Dogs' nature

Leader consciousness

Like wolves, dogs are pack animals with a clear hierarchy in their genes, exhibiting obedience and loyalty to the pack leader. When raising a dog, it's necessary to establish authority, set rules, and define the dog's designated space and no-go zones in the home. For actions the dog can and cannot do, use a combination of punishment and reward techniques to improve obedience.

Delicious

Dogs love to eat, so there are frequent dangerous incidents of them accidentally swallowing small toys like rubber ducks. Rewarding a dog with treats and jerky for good behavior can help train it to complete commands.

Likes to tear and bite

Chewing is a dog's hunting instinct. It's common for dogs to chew on household items when bored and alone at home. Puppies also chew on furniture to relieve itching during teething. Valuable items should be kept out of reach, and if you find your dog chewing on furniture, you should stop and punish them immediately. There are natural sprays on the market with scents that dogs dislike; spraying them on sofas and furniture can prevent chewing. Pet owners should buy chew toys for their dogs and cultivate the habit of chewing on toys.

Likes to gnaw on food

Dogs love the texture of big bones. Bone-shaped chew sticks, cucumbers, carrots, etc., all have a crunchy texture and are good treats.

I like spacious outdoor spaces.

Dogs are lively and active, and a spacious outdoor area allows them to run and stretch out freely, satisfying their boundless curiosity by exploring outdoor objects and animals. Dogs eagerly anticipate their daily walks with their owners.

VI. Possessing wisdom and judgment

A dog's intelligence manifests in its protective instincts, ease of training, and ability to solve problems independently. Research reports indicate that adult dogs can understand 100-150 words and gestures, and their intelligence can develop to the level of a two- to two-and-a-half-year-old toddler. With systematic training, dogs can also master skills such as skateboarding, arithmetic, playing video games, and shopping.

Dog's personality

Enthusiastic and extrovertedThis dog is energetic and curious, often running wildly to walk its owner when outside, overly enthusiastic towards strangers, and frequently destructive. Extroverted dogs require proper behavior training to prevent them from becoming too restless and causing problems.

Introverted dogsQuiet and reserved, keeping its distance from people and other dogs. Some dogs have been bullied by other people or dogs during their growth, developing a timid personality. Owners should encourage them to participate in outdoor activities and interact with other dogs and people to gradually build their sense of security.

Cute and charming typeThe dog often looks at its owner with its big, watery eyes, begging for food and to go out to play. It always sticks to its owner's side and is a truly heartwarming little angel.

Dogs' vengeful nature,When a dog is stopped, grabbed, or accidentally stepped on by its owner, it barks wildly instead of walking away, as if it is about to retaliate. The dog should be corrected and guided in time.

Aggressive behavior:A dog baring its teeth or even biting its owner can pose a danger to pregnant women and young children. Dogs exhibiting aggressive behavior towards their owners have generally experienced abuse or attack during their upbringing. It is recommended to use a reward and punishment system: when the dog behaves well, pet its head and reward it with treats. If it exhibits angry or aggressive behavior, the owner should issue a stop command, isolate the dog, provide food and water as usual, and ignore it. After the dog has calmed down, try to touch and pet it again to gradually build trust and correct the overreaction. Dogs with severe aggressive behavior require professional veterinary training.

Signs of a dog's happiness

Friendly and affectionate, full of curiosity about new things, lively and playful. Often wags its tail happily, and at home likes to rub its head against its owner, touch its owner with its paws, and lick its owner's face. Sleeps in a very casual, sprawling position.

Activities to improve relationships with dogs

Regular outdoor activities expose dogs to more people and animals, allowing them to roam freely and improving their mood. Interactive games can be enjoyable for both dogs and their owners, and can also improve the dog's obedience and the bond between them.

Walking the dog every day

Interactive games: catching frisbees, popping balloons

Handshake and sit command training
