A netizen sent her confusion and told the story of a dog she loved deeply but made her helpless.

This dog is a male, a second generation with wandering blood. He was only three months old at the time, so it is not an exaggeration to describe it as pitiful.

After adopting it, netizens fell into a tangle of tenderness and frustration. This puppy always likes to curl up on her legs, as if seeking a warm embrace.

However, once it tries to put it back on the ground, it will let out a dissatisfied growl, sometimes even turning around and biting the netizen against the counterattack. What kind of behavior is this?

Faced with such doubts, netizens asked the majority of dog owners: Does your dog do the same? In fact, there may be many reasons for dogs to experience this type of behavior:

01. The dog's hidden pain in the body may be caused by unintentional touch of the painful area after being vaccinated, so it reminds you by yelling.

02. Three-month-old puppies are still little courageous and desire companionship and protection. They feel at ease when they are in their arms, but they become nervous once they touch the ground, so they will protest with a low growl.

03. Habitual behavior

Over time, if a dog often lies on his owner's legs, it will regard it as a habit. When you try to remove it, its displeasure will explode in a resisting way because it is more willing to continue to snuggle up next to you.

04. Feeling panic

For puppies, they may feel scared when they are picked up high by their owners, and thus a struggle reaction will follow.

So, how should we deal with this situation? First, try to avoid picking up the dog when it is uneasy or nervous. You can try to gently caress it while it is relaxing, so that it feels safe and comfortable.

We can try to perform desensitization training. When your dog starts to pull your arm, give it food soothing and soothing voice. This can effectively reduce its tension.

If the dog's behavioral problems are still difficult, it is recommended to consult a professional pet behavior trainer. They can develop more effective training plans based on the specific situation of the dog.

Raising dogs is an art and a science. If you want your dog to grow up healthily, the following points must be paid attention to:

01. Feed rationally to ensure that the dog obtains balanced nutrition. Be careful when feeding and provide clean drinking water to ensure a healthy diet of the dog.

02. Bath and comb your dog's hair regularly to keep it clean and hygienic. Combing can not only remove dirt and dead skin, but also promote blood circulation and enhance dog's immune system.

03. Take your dog out more and exercise. Appropriate exercise and exercise will help the dog maintain physical and mental health and relieve anxiety and depression. Depending on the dog's age and physique, at least 30 minutes of walking or playing time per day is required.

04. Provide a good social environment. Dogs are animals that need social interactions and they need interactions with humans and other animals. A good social environment is conducive to dogs building confidence and social skills.

So, how long have you been with your dog?
