If a dog knocks over a bowl of food, the owner of the animal will most likely come to the following conclusion: "The pet is being capricious. This food does not suit him. He wants something tastier. Or it may be that the dog is simply being naughty."
But don’t rush to accuse the dog of being “impudent”, “spoiled” and “badly behaving”.
Most likely, the pet is not being naughty or trying to anger its owner.
The real reason for the strange behavior of your four-legged friend can be explained completely differently.
There are several options worth considering.
The dog doesn't like the bowl
Perhaps the dog is not satisfied with the food itself, but with the container in which the owner put the food.
It is possible that the bowl was too slippery for the animal.
Or it may be that the animal is frightened by the sounds that occur when eating food from a metal container.
In such a situation, it is easier for the dog to turn the bowl over and start eating directly from the floor.
The container needs to be replaced. Perhaps after this the problem will no longer be relevant.
The dog wants to get attention
If the dog is rarely looked at, if it is not played with very often, then the pet may begin to try to attract attention to itself.
Turning the bowl over is one way to quickly achieve the desired result.
The problem is solved simply: the owner should interact with his four-legged friend more often.
The dog is happy
It may also be that the dog really likes the food.
However, the dog does not express positive emotions quite correctly.
