5 behaviors that make the dog "don't want to get close to us"

5 behaviors that make the dog "don't want to come near us" 🐕🥺

Maybe we didn't mean to...

But what has been done

👉 might make you "uncomfortable."

Try it. 👇

1️⃣ fierce, emotional. 😡💥

Hit, snapped, noisy.

👉 you don't understand what's wrong.

💡 but to remember that

"Being around this person is scary." 😢

2️⃣ stared at the eyes. 👀⚠️

Look still like pressure.

👉 for dog = challenge

💡 you're getting stressed.

Or unknowingly scared.

3️⃣ forced to hug, forced to smell 🥺🤍

I love... so I want to hug

But maybe you're not ready

👉 uncomfortable but unable to speak.

💡 if you see

Lick your mouth / yawn / turn away

= Start "No, it's okay."

4️⃣ The rules haven't changed. 🔄😵‍💫

Give me the couch today.

Scold tomorrow

👉 you are very confused.

💡 didn't know that.

"What's right? What's wrong?"

5️⃣ forced to find something scared. 😰🚫

Like carrying a stranger.

👉 Or force close to what you're afraid of.

💡 you feel

"The owners don't help us," 💔

🐾 Signs you're not okay.

❌ The ears fall. The tail is corked.

❌ Walk away.

❌ Ignore orders.

❌ Threatening gently.

👉 Don't overlook it. 🥺

✨ Actually...

You haven't changed.

But he just

👉 "Start not to be confident in us." 💔

💡 solution

👉 Watch when doing well

👉 Use candy / cute voice

👉 Calm down + consistent.

💖. Trust.

Always rebuilding.

💬 Have your friends' houses ever had moments like this? 😢

And how to fix the younger back to love as before

Let's share it. 🐕✨💕

... Read moreในฐานะเจ้าของน้องหมาที่ผ่านประสบการณ์ดูแลสุนัขหลายตัวมา ผมขอแชร์วิธีสังเกตและแก้ไขเมื่อเจอปัญหาน้องหมาไม่อยากเข้าใกล้เรา เพื่อให้ความสัมพันธ์ระหว่างคนกับสุนัขกลับมาดียิ่งขึ้น อย่างแรกคือการสังเกตภาษากายของน้องหมา เช่นเมื่อเห็นน้องเลียปาก หาว หรือหันหน้าหนี นั่นคือสัญญาณเตือนให้น้องหมารู้สึกอึดอัดแล้ว เราไม่ควรฝืนกอดหรือลากน้องให้มอบความรักกลับทันที เพราะน้องอาจตอบสนองด้วยความเครียดหรือกลัว ผมเคยลองปรับพฤติกรรมโดยการชมและให้รางวัลเมื่อน้องทำพฤติกรรมดี เช่น การมาเมื่อเรียก หรือการนั่งนิ่ง ๆ วิธีนี้ช่วยให้น้องหมามั่นใจและรู้ว่าความร่วมมือจะได้รับสิ่งที่ดีตอบแทน นอกจากนี้การใช้เสียงพูดน่ารักและน้ำเสียงอ่อนโยนส่งผลให้น้องหมารับรู้ความรักโดยไม่รู้สึกถูกบังคับหรือกดดัน อีกเรื่องสำคัญคือการกำหนดกฎเกณฑ์ที่ชัดเจนและสม่ำเสมอ หลีกเลี่ยงการเปลี่ยนกฎแบบวันต่อวัน เช่น วันนี้ให้น้องขึ้นโซฟา พรุ่งนี้ห้าม เพราะจะทำให้น้องสับสนและเกิดความเครียดตามมา สุดท้าย การให้เวลาน้องปรับตัวกับสิ่งที่กลัว เช่น คนแปลกหน้า หรือเสียงดัง ควรเป็นไปอย่างค่อยเป็นค่อยไป โดยไม่ผลักดันให้น้องเผชิญโดยตรงทันที แต่เริ่มจากระยะไกลและให้รางวัลเมื่อแสดงความสงบใจ ผมเชื่อว่าความไว้วางใจของน้องหมาจะกลับมาได้เสมอ หากเราใจเย็น เข้าใจ และพยายามสื่อสารด้วยความรักและความอดทนอย่างแท้จริง
