Check Out the Things That We Do to Confuse Dogs

Have you ever looked at your pet and looked confused or trying to determine what you are doing? Well, this type of situation arises very often. Here, in this content, you will learn about what you do to confuse your dogs. So, now let’s have a look at those things below –

Ø  We Can’t Be with Them all the Time 

Dogs are born with natural socialites. They love socializing with other people, dogs, and anyone who shows love and care to them. When dogs are taken out for a walk, they play, rest and explore many things surrounding them. 

But when we leave our dogs alone at home, it makes them confused as inexperienced dogs are not sure whether we are going to return to collect them or not. This type of situation even arises at home when dogs are put outside of the home for a long time.

This is a confusing situation for them, and that’s why dogs demand to stay inside where they feel secure or feel happiest to be on our side. Dogs naturally tend to stay with comfort groups where they feel safe and secure. 

Ø  We Observe Things with Our Eyes, Not Our Nose 

Dogs live in a world of olfactory, where they observe things through the sense of smell. On the other hand, we humans observe things with our eyes. Dogs are motivated by smell. It helps them in defining an environment. This scent helps to recognize their surrounding things. Dogs have the ability to smell 10,000 to 100,000 times better than humans.

It makes them capable enough of detecting any kind of odor. To ensure a safe playground for your furry friend, you can choose to install an invisible dog fence around the boundary line. It will give you peace of mind that your dogs are playing in a safe, secure place. 

So, dogs get different types of scents when we are around them. You may smell different to them after a shower, gym, or applying anybody’s spray. 

Ø  We Change Our Look Daily 

Every day we appear in different outfits, and this confuses our dogs. We need to change our shoes, clothes, wallets, socks, bags, etc. besides these, we apply different types of other products that come with different smells, such as soaps, deodorants, shampoo, etc. This means we carry different types of smell with us, which often confuses dogs. 

Ø  We Give Hugs 

Humans and dogs have four limbs, but they use them differently. Dogs use their limbs for grasping while they play wrestling, fighting, or mating. On the other hand, humans give hugs to show their affection. This gesture often makes them confused. Therefore, giving them hugs confuses our pets because this is not their way of showing affection. Rather they use it for their defense. 

Ø  We Are Not Focused on Leftover or Bin Food 

Dogs usually eat food from wherever they get it. On the other hand, we give them food in little bowls. When dogs try to eat leftover food on benches, tables, and bins, we don’t give much attention to it as we think about what is the big deal in it. This attitude often makes them a bit confused. 

Ø  We Make Use of Hands 

We, humans, make use of hands, whereas dogs use their noses for smelling something and their mouth to open something or so. This gesture often makes them confused about what humans do with their hands. Therefore, these are the things that we humans do, and these often confuse our furry friends.
