Dogs are loyal and obedient animals.

But this does not mean that they do not know how to take offense.

If the owner, while raising his four-legged friend, made a gross mistake, the dog may harbor a grudge.

The most interesting thing is that in this case, the pet’s behavior can very much resemble the behavior of a person who is offended by a loved one.

So, what specific behavioral patterns indicate that a dog is upset with its owner's behavior?

Goes to another room

How does a child behave when he is offended by his mother and father? Usually like this: he locks himself in his room to be alone for some time and not see his parents.

A dog that harbors a grudge may also go to another room, just to avoid being near its owner.

Doesn't let you pet him

Let's imagine a situation: a wife is offended by her husband. The man tries to hug his other half. The lady frowns and does not accept such a display of tenderness.

An offended dog may exhibit similar behavior: the owner tries to pet the dog, but the pet dodges.

An important point: despite the bad mood, the animal will not behave aggressively in this case.

If there is aggression after touching, then it is most likely not a matter of resentment: it is possible that the dog is physically in pain. Be sure to take the animal to a veterinary clinic.
