Many owners have noticed that dogs don’t really like walking in the rain.

Some animals simply show a lack of desire to go for a walk, while others begin to behave strangely.

What could be the reason for such a negative attitude towards precipitation?

Features of hearing

We sometimes forget that a dog's senses are designed completely differently. That's why a walk outside in the rain can be a real punishment.

Experts note that due to the contact of the asphalt surface with rain, the sounds become too sharp and unpleasant. Therefore, the dog is uncomfortable being outside in such conditions.

Smells

Due to the increased humidity level, many odors are amplified. This literally drives the animal crazy, since the dog has not only good hearing, but also a strong sense of smell.

When it rains, the scents of other animals not only become stronger, but also mix.

Therefore, the dog may begin to behave in a very strange way.
