Why is the dog afraid to swim: experts gave an unexpected answer
Many people who have experience of owning a dog for the first time may be extremely surprised by the fact that in most cases animals do not like to be washed.
This is surprising, since they happily splash around in a river or lake.
If we are talking about a cat, then its behavior is more logical: it is unlikely to run to bathe voluntarily, therefore it treats the bathtub with a great deal of antipathy.
Why do dogs not like water procedures?
Experts note that it is important to understand the difference between voluntary swimming in water and forced washing. In the first case, the dog gets pleasure, because he does what he wants.
He has the situation completely under his control.
In the case of a bathroom, the situation is different.
The owner unexpectedly "pounces" on the dog and sends it to the bathroom by force. Afterwards, the person holds the animal and pours water on it for no apparent (to the dog) reason. The dog cannot get out or understand the meaning of this action.
It is also worth understanding that you may have adjusted the temperature incorrectly. As a result, the animal will be very unpleasant to remember its painful experience.
Therefore, try to be more delicate and consistent.
