The method and strength of touching the dog are also exquisite, so sometimes if you don't pay attention to the method of touching, the dog won't be happy. If you touch when you are nervous or irritable, it will certainly transmit the emotion to the dog, causing the dog's tension and restlessness.
Touch your dog like this to increase your trust
How to pet a dog
The first is to reorganize the dog's perception of our 'hands'. For dogs to trust our hands, remember that hands are used to 'touch' them, not to punish them. Many people regard holding the dog's kiss as a punishment, but this action will bring negative effects to the dog. Over time, it will think: 'when the hand is close to the mouth or nose, it is an uncomfortable action. 'in the future, if you want to brush your dog's teeth and give him medicine, it will become even more difficult.
If your dog is already sensitive to your opponent, start with the 'back of hand' touch. From the dog's side face, chin, head less sensitive place to start stroking, then touch the body, tail, limbs and other less touched places. Practice a few more times, then touch with the palm of your hand.
Touch the dog lightly with the back of your hand. In addition to this position, gently touching can make the dog sleep well!
Again, try to close your eyes and touch your dog in a way that is emotional and comfortable. Many times, people touch a dog because they want to touch it, but they don't want it to feel comfortable. So try to close your eyes, feel their feelings and breath, and touch their whole body along the hair. Because the senses of dogs contain touch, the comfortable touch also makes them feel safe.
Speed of touch is also the key
When people are in a tense mood, the speed and strength of touching the dog will also increase. This kind of pressing and heavy touch will only make the dog more nervous and restless. So, when your dog is nervous, you want to touch it, pacify it, and pay attention to the speed of touching. In this exercise, with breathing, inhale, exhale, and slow down to touch your dog, you can make them comfortable.
never go to the temple for nothing
There are many parts of a dog's body that we rarely touch, such as the front and back feet, mouth skin, tail, buttock & hellip; & hellip; and so on. However, when we are going to cut their nails, we will touch these parts. And the smart one, of course, knows that every time you touch its foot, it immediately runs away in fear.
So, if you want to practice nail cutting, don't doubt it, start by touching its feet! If you have nothing to do, just touch its feet, take a look, and 'praise it' to make it feel that 'touching its feet is really a good thing. 'then increase the strength of touching feet, just like cutting nails. Usually practice more. If you want to brush your teeth and take medicine, you can start to touch your mouth skin, open your mouth skin, and touch your teeth. It seems that the touch of life, in fact, is closely connected with many daily life necessary work and rest relations!
Build your wonderful time
Play some stable music, spend some time with it to practice, let it trust to be touched. It doesn't take a long time to practice each time, but there are many opportunities to practice in a day. However, if the dog is touched, it is easy to get excited. It is suggested that the owner should shorten the time of touching practice and observe the changes of the dog's expression while touching. Because of their expressions, they never cheat.
