7 Human Behaviors that Dogs Hate and Wish You Wouldn’t Do
1- Inconsistency
Dogs have a hard time understanding what we want from them, and when a guardian, or an entire household, is inconsistent, this makes it much harder for a dog to figure us out. If you have a dog, make sure you, and anyone involved with the dog, are all on the same page about hand signals, voice cues and how the dog can live in your home. Giving mixed signals isn’t fair to the dog – imagine if you had one person in your household encouraging you to sit on the couch while others yelled at you when they see you sitting there! A great way to keep consistent is to write everything down in a chart, or use a whiteboard on your fridge and go over it with everyone in the household. It’s our job to make our dogs’ lives fulfilled and earn their trust and make our human lives less confusing to them. If you have any questions or concerns, you should always visit or call your veterinarian — they are your best resource to ensure the health and well-being of your pets.
