Why You Shouldn't Hug Dogs: A Blatant Mistake Many Owners Make
In most cases, dogs respond positively to affection from people.
So, your pet will certainly be happy if you start petting him.
However, our four-legged friends do not like all types of displays of affection.
An animal may react negatively to a hug. And this is understandable.
Why Dogs Don't Like Hugs
What people call a hug, a dog may perceive as an attempt by the person to dominate him.
An owner who wants to hug a pet will perform a "grabbing" movement.
Therefore, the dog may come to the conclusion that the person is trying to restrict its freedom of movement in this way. And the animal will not feel any affection.
It is possible that the pet will even get angry. Perhaps the dog will trust the owner less.
So stop hugging your dog, no matter how much you want to do so.
Show your love in other ways: pet the animal, play with it, feed it delicious food, buy toys, and so on.
You should avoid hugging your four-legged friend.
