Why do dogs love to bite their owners? What is the reason?

Dogs' emotions are often expressed by body language, and may also be expressed by biting their owners. The following is my question about why dogs love to bite their owners. I hope you like it!

Why do dogs love to bite their owners?

Dogs bite their owners' hands mostly in the puppy growing period after two months, and adult dogs also have this situation, but it belongs to a minority. During the puppy's two-month to eight-month study period, if the dog is always by his mother's side, we will find that the mother often bites with the baby, in order to cultivate the dog's fighting ability, hunting ability and flexibility. At this time, the puppy also showed a very active desire to participate, because it is a learning instinct. Now, most puppies leave their mothers for their new homes after two months. When it is familiar with its new home, it will gradually regard its master as its mother. At this time, it is very energetic and its learning instinct will be released, so it will take the initiative to bite its master's hand. In addition, when the dog comes home, we often give him some food by hand. When we don't touch his body with food, he will also take the initiative to bite his hand, which is a manifestation of conditioned reflex. Under what circumstances will dogs passively bite their hands? To analyze the whole process of contact, most dog babies are sensitive to external stimuli, especially some timid dog babies, whose skin is sensitive. They don't know what your contact will bring to their health. When our hands touch it, it will have an active or passive defense ability. So it will bite its own hand. Under what circumstances will you suddenly bite the master's hand without purpose? The puppy's nerves are still in the process of growth and development, and their performance is not stable. Maybe it can't find the reason why it suddenly bites. Maybe it's a nerve impulse. Another reason is that when dogs grow up, their teeth should be exercised frequently and they have a great desire to play. Biting hands may also be that it treats its hands as prey and exercises its teeth in the process of biting. Of course, this kind of biting has many game elements. Of course, we can also analyze it like this. Dogs' emotions are often expressed through body language. When it is angry or happy, it will also bite its body with its mouth to convey it.

Why do dogs bite?

Don't understand the dog's warning

People who often deal with dogs have a certain understanding of dog behavior, so the possibility of being bitten by dogs is very small. Once, I took a photo of a group of people playing football with a dog with pet photographers Lao Qin and dog trainer Qin Tian. That dog is a very tall Rottweiler. It is very excited in the process of chasing the ball. When he got the ball and I stepped forward to grab it, the dog came out of his throat? Ouch? Voice, I will step back gently.

At this time, Qin Tian, the dog trainer, also reminded me to be careful, because the dog met us for the first time, and grabbing the ball from its arms might irritate it. Although we had a good time before, it doesn't mean that it won't attack me if I continue to grab the ball after it gives a warning.

All this, including Rowena's warning and my avoidance, was seen by Lao Qin, who had been filming beside him. In this respect, Lao Qin is more cunning. He has patted countless dogs, but he is rarely bitten by them. In Lao Qin's words, the dog is actually not a dangerous animal, because I can foresee its next move. By contrast, I am more afraid of cats. ?

Breaking into dog territory by mistake

Dogs will regard a piece of land as their own territory. Within their sphere of influence, strangers will be attacked if they break in at will. This is the dog's instinct. It is precisely because of this instinct that dogs are trained to be watchdogs, alert dogs and so on.

All dogs, big or small, have the instinct to protect their territory. When a stranger walks by the door, even a Chihuahua dog weighing only a few pounds will yell at the police, which is quite a gesture of fighting to the death with the invading enemy. In some countries, nail a piece on the wall of a house? There are fierce dogs in it? The brand is definitely more reassuring to the owner than asking the security guard. Thieves don't risk breaking into the territory of fierce dogs.

Offend the dog? Private property?

Bodie is a 9-year-old Beijing Ba dog. He has his favorite toy, which is a rubber banana that makes a sound when bitten. This is what he regards as a treasure, and no one is allowed to move. Everyone who comes to the host's house will be told not to tease Bodie with that banana, or he will be bitten.

Every dog has its own part? Private property? These little toys, broken bones, are really insignificant to the human eye, but dogs attach great importance to them. It would be strange if someone moved and didn't get bitten.

Inadvertently causing dogs to chase.

Many parents always warn their children that dogs are dangerous, so run when you meet them, because they will bite you. When a child meets a dog, his parents' words will ring in his mind immediately. Therefore, even if the dog doesn't mean to attack and is friendly, the child will still be afraid and run away according to the instructions of the parents.

Dogs have a primitive instinct to chase prey, even pet dogs, and this instinct is buried in the dog's subconscious. It is a pleasure for dogs to drive things away. So the dog didn't mean to hurt the child, but when he saw the child run away, he would catch up. As you can imagine, an agile dog can easily catch up with an extremely frightened child. It is almost impossible for the child to escape at his own speed. Once the dog catches up, the dog will bite the child because of excessive excitement.

Take no precautions against neurotic dogs.

In this case, most people who are bitten by dogs love dogs. When they see the puppy, they can't walk, so they must touch and hug them. Generally speaking, dogs are friendly to people, especially purebred dogs, whose personalities are relatively stable, but as the saying goes? What kind of birds are there when the Woods are big? Similarly, it is very dangerous if you treat a dog with a defective personality like this.

People's vigilance against dogs is also flawed. It is generally believed that the bigger the dog, the more dangerous it is. It is true that the huge bodies of large dogs create a kind of pressure on people, but in fact, many large dogs, such as Saint Bernard, Great Dane and Newfoundland, are very friendly to people. On the contrary, some petite dogs are more aggressive, and their bodies are more likely to make people relax their vigilance, so they are attacked.

Four misunderstandings in keeping pet dogs

What varieties are suitable for families?

Truth: Be very cautious about raising strong dogs and large dogs at home.

Hook, secretary-general of Chongqing Dog Industry Association and president of Chongqing Guan 'ai Pet Hospital, said that Castro is a fighting dog in terms of breed, and his character is fierce and brutal. Almost no fighting dog can surpass it.

? A fierce dog like castelo is a functional breed and is not suitable for being a family pet. Once improperly fed, it will pose a threat to yourself and others. ? Hook believes that not all breeds of domestic dogs can be kept, so we should be cautious about strong dogs and large dogs. If you have a special preference for strong dogs, it is suggested that dog owners must systematically learn the knowledge of this breed in advance. If you can't change the dog's habits, it's best to ask a qualified pet school to correct the dog's bad habits in time.

Good habits can be cultivated slowly?

Truth: From birth to three and a half months is the golden period to cultivate good habits.

? Having a dog is equivalent to having a child. People should form good habits from an early age, so should dogs. If the dog is an adult, it will be very time-consuming and laborious to correct bad behavior. ? Hook said that it is the golden age for a pet dog to correct its behavior from birth to three and a half months. In the meantime, the dog owner can use food stimulation to let the dog know what can be rewarded and what can't be favored by the owner. Don't think that dogs are too young to teach, or they are cute and cute, so leave them alone.

? Some dogs are friendly to their owners, but they are very aggressive to others and other dogs. ? Hook believes that while making pet dogs obey their owners, they should also understand that they should be friendly to their owners' friends and companions. In order to achieve this goal, pet dogs can often play with other people and other pet dogs.

Dogs don't bear grudges when they are beaten by their owners?

Truth: No matter what kind of dog, it will bear a grudge after encountering violence.

? No matter what kind of dog, it will bear a grudge after being subjected to violence. ? Hook said that it is the least advisable to educate pet dogs by beating and cursing. Hook analyzed that the reason why the hostess was violently attacked by her dog was probably because of her improper attitude and way towards dogs before. Never think that the dog you raised as a child won't bear a grudge against yourself.

Hook said that dogs can't understand people's words, but dogs can comprehensively judge people's emotions through the priorities of their voices, body movements and facial expressions.

Will stamping and scolding scare dogs?

Positive solution: stomp hard and scold the dog for getting hurt easily.

? When people's tone is urgent and the volume is loud, some pet dogs will bow their heads and hide trembling. The language released by the dog at this time is a kind of self-protection, an animal instinct, in order to escape the threat from people. ? Hook said that when this threat escalates to direct physical injury, dogs will also respond to the degree of injury. Hook stressed that when disciplining a dog, it is easy for the owner to blame it emotionally and stamp his foot hard, thinking that this can scare the dog and make it obey. In fact, such a move is the most likely to induce dog attacks. If the owner is still holding a violent tool at this time, the dog is likely to attack the owner for self-protection.
