Dogs tend to be very social animals and will want to be seen to interact with other family members.

If the dog suddenly starts hiding, this should surprise the owners.

Try to establish the cause correctly, as they can be extremely serious.

Why did the animal start hiding in the house?

Disease

Experts note that sick dogs try to find the safest place possible where no one can disturb them. The dog believes that it is in a vulnerable position, since it will not be able to protect itself from potential enemies.

Therefore, you need to visually examine your pet, evaluate its behavior, stool and appetite. It is quite possible that you will need the help of specialists.

New people

Not all dogs will be happy to have guests: some animals do not like the presence of strangers on "their" territory. Therefore, some dogs behave aggressively and bark at guests, trying to drive away strangers.

Other pets diplomatically and delicately try to hide from view. If you see that receiving guests is unpleasant for your dog, then try to find another place for meetings.

Stress or fear

Sometimes we can't guess that a dog is also quite capable of experiencing fear. The animal can be frightened by sharp sounds or even objects.

In this case, the dog will try to find a place that is safe from frightening things.

If we are talking about stress, then it is important to eliminate the cause of nervous tension. The fact is that this will have a depressing effect on the mental health and physical condition of the animal.
