What does a dog feel when its owner hugs it tightly?
It would seem that in such a situation the pet should be happy, because he is being shown love and affection.
In fact, most dogs react negatively to such displays of affection from humans.
The Dangers of Tight Hugging for Dogs
Your four-legged friend will most likely come to the conclusion that a person hugging him tightly is not showing love at all, but aggression.
It is possible that the animal will decide that there is a creature next to it trying to show dominance.
In addition, strong hugs are often perceived by dogs as an attempt to restrict their freedom of movement.
A dog that is not prepared for such behavior from a person may become very scared or angry.
The consequences of any of these reactions can be serious and very unpleasant.
How should the owner act?
If the dog is not accustomed to strong hugs from puppyhood, then it is better to avoid this type of interaction altogether.
Show your love in other ways: pet your dog, play with him regularly, and give him tasty food more often.
