Dogs like to eat, to play, and to accompany their owners for walks. When performing these behaviors, dogs feel comfortable and full of joy.
On the contrary, pet dogs also have their fears and fears. What are pet dogs afraid of? Psychologists and behaviorists have observed that pet dogs are afraid of sound, fire, light and death. Untrained dogs have a marked fear of thunder and fireworks. The rumble of airplanes, gunshots, explosions, and other similar sounds are all things that dogs fear.
When a pet dog hears a loud noise, it first appears to be shocked by the sudden loud noise, and then flees to a place where it thinks it is safe, such as getting under the eaves or in the room, shrinking its neck and burrowing into a small place to put on the ground. Ears, a trembling look. Only when the sound stopped, their hearts were calmed down.
This behavior of fearing sounds is an innate instinct, which is the residual psychology of pet dogs in the wild state, but this instinct can be changed artificially. To overcome this fear of pet dogs, sound exercise should be carried out when pet dogs are young to adapt to this kind of stimulation. In addition to sound, there are also quite a few pet dogs who are afraid of light, which also originates from thunder and lightning in natural phenomena. Pet dogs connect the two and cannot distinguish the cause and effect relationship.
Also, like light, most pet dogs hate fire, but not to the point of fear. In Germany, a four-year-old female dog would step on a flaming cigarette butt until it stopped smoking.
The above is mainly about the instinctive fear of natural phenomena, and more intense than these instinctive fears is death in the phenomenon of life. In daily life, we often see the external manifestations of pet dogs’ fear, for example, pet dogs are afraid of cars, afraid of moving toys and so on. However, as long as the environment is exercised from an early age, more exposure to some things during the social period can reduce or even eliminate these fearful attitudes. This also shows that the pet dog is a very intelligent and adjustable animal. According to this kind of psychology and change process of pet dogs, the environmental exercise of young pet dogs during the socialization period is very important
