Have you recently become a dog owner? Or maybe you were visiting someone and saw a doggie?
Do you want to make friends with this animal as soon as possible?
Then act correctly!
Firstly, do not rush to hug the dog: it may decide that you are trying to limit its freedom of movement and thereby demonstrate your dominant position.
Secondly, don’t speak too loudly, and especially don’t shout.
Third, do not stare at the dog. If you break the rule, the pet may come to the conclusion that you are threatening it.
The look at the dog should be “soft” and not too long.
Also, smile at the animal. But not a human smile, but a dog smile. Because in the first case, you will show your teeth, which the dog will not like very much.
What is a "dog smile"
It is distinguished by the following characteristics: there is no “human” smile, but the eyes are squinted.
In addition, the facial muscles should be relaxed and blinking should be frequent.
Dogs respond positively to this facial expression on a person: the animals feel calm and safe.
Use a "dog smile" when looking at your dog: this will give you a better chance of finding a common language with your pet.
