When a dog appears in a large family, competition for the pet's attention immediately begins: everyone wants to become the "chosen one" for the animal.
Not everyone knows by what criteria the dog itself chooses its leader.
How a dog chooses an owner
This is the undisputed leader of the family.
Dogs instinctively choose the person who is objectively the leader of the family. The dog unmistakably determines who is the main one and makes all the important decisions.
Animals like to obey strong people, whom they see as the leader of the pack, experts believe.
The calmest
Dogs do not like people with an unpleasant loud voice, active gesticulation. They seem unpredictable to the dog.
Therefore, the animal tries to choose the calmest person as its owner.
Teetotal
If there are people in the family who do not drink alcohol at all, the dog will develop sympathy for them. Animals do not like the smell of alcoholic drinks.
Drunk people also frighten them with their instability and unpredictability.
