Does your dog have emotions and motives the same as a human? Well, actually, the answer is Not really! According to an informative article in Modern Dog Magazine, there are dog myths that are not true, and we may be over correcting a dog’s behavior with the wrong approach. We should not assume they feel things the same way as humans do.
What I learned from this article:
Dogs do not want to “get even” with you by being unruly.
Dogs mostly show fear around something or someone bigger and scarier than you.
Dogs growl when they want the bigger and scarier thing to go away, so do not punish them for a growl. It is an early warning system for you and your dog.
