Why a dog ignores its owner after a long separation: what should a pet owner do
Many dog owners who are often forced to leave their pets due to business trips or travel are faced with unusual behavior of their pets upon their return.
Instead of running to the owner at full speed, the dog chooses a completely different path - ignoring.
Even experienced dog owners get confused in situations when they see their pet go into another room in an upset state.
According to experienced veterinarians, there is no need to worry in this case.
This behavior of the animal is a completely normal reaction to stress, which causes the hormone cortisol to enter the blood.
What should a caring owner do?
First, try to give your dog as much attention as possible. Be patient and don't get angry if the dog doesn't live up to your expectations.
Secondly, you shouldn’t take it out on the animal, and especially don’t punish it – this will only make the current situation worse.
