Barely stepping onto the driveway, a dog turns into a stubborn little donkey? The reasons may be hidden in genes, memory, or life experience.
Scar from impressions
A psychological trauma could have been the precondition for the development of fear. The owner lived near a tractor plant and brought a puppy home. The roar of the production facilities did not stop, nor did the anxiety in the soul of the little creature. It felt safe inside the house, but outside its invisible source sang in the tonality of an adult rhinoceros.
It was better for the little one to stay inside than to meet the unknown in person. The first outing could be accompanied by aggression from children or other dogs. Or maybe the quadruped received a trauma?
In the future, the dog's consciousness will deflect the experiences. Fear will result in trembling, trauma - causing physical discomfort (like shedding), and conflict - reflecting aggression towards the owner.
Default settings
Try getting a Greyhound, and you will get acquainted with the monstrous power of the wind! But if a French Bulldog, Pug, or Corgi settles in the house, the dwelling may turn into a haven of lazy rest.
There are dog breeds that have received a "diploma in the faculty of beating around the bush." A professor of the weekend! Making the pet march down the steps is like extinguishing a fire, regularly adding fuel to the flames. Useless! Socializing - is like a punishment.
It is beyond their comprehension. At birth, some dogs activate the "home" function, and no specialist can reprogram them. These dogs voluntarily choose seclusion, though they are famous for their calmness and good-natured disposition.
Suppressors of freedom
Seeing a leash, the animal balances on the brink of hysteria? Well, this is a fatal mistake of inexperienced owners. It was necessary to accustom the puppy to the collar in small portions: dosed and with positive reinforcement. Now, the dog sees a choke chain in the accessory, from which a painful awkwardness spreads throughout the body.
Restriction of freedom is projected onto behavior. The latch acts as a switch: a click is equivalent to a "stop" sign on the road.
The dog groans like a broken poplar and flattens out. This spectacle means - "we have arrived at the final station." And upon removing the restriction - the handsome one comes alive. The path to the social field is blocked until the owners visit an experienced dog trainer.
