Learn the correct way to pet a dog and make your own dog feel great~

First of all, before you officially pet a dog, you must understand the “risks” and precautions of petting a dog!

Petting is prohibited in these situations

When the dog is angry: it is hostile and aggressive, so don’t do it rashly!

When the dog is in estrus: its temper will become irritable and irritable.

When the dog is eating: due to its nature, the dog is very defensive when eating, and approaching at this time may easily make the dog mistakenly think that you will attack it. Of course, if your dog does not protect your food, you can still pet it!

When the dog has just given birth: it is eager to protect its puppies, so the owner should be more considerate!

Be careful when petting strange dogs
Every dog ​​has a different personality and experience. No matter whose dog it is, you should observe it more before petting it. Especially stray dogs are more vigilant to humans.
If it is a domestic dog, you can ask the dog owner first whether the dog can be petted and where it likes to be petted, instead of just petting the dog when you see it!
Next, it’s time for formal teaching! Take notes~✍

When not to pet?

01 Head: It’s okay but not necessary

Many shit shovelers said that when their dogs were “killed by head patting”, they felt very comfortable. How can it be unnecessary?
In fact, dogs domesticated from wolves are naturally vigilant. When the owner touches its head, they don’t know what it means or what will happen. Because it is a familiar owner, they will relax their vigilance and let you touch their heads obediently.
But if you are facing an unfamiliar stranger, the action of patting the head will make the dog think you are going to attack it, and it will dodge away or even “fight back”.
Dogs don’t really like to be patted on the head, so owners must remember this~

02 Back: You can stroke it

When you stroke a dog’s back, it will not feel oppressed or aggressive, but will feel a strong sense of satisfaction and security, especially combing and tickling along its back hair, which will make it feel super! Super! Comfortable!

If it is a dog you meet for the first time, you can quickly establish a good impression of you by stroking its back~

03 Abdomen: Asking for stroking

This is the dog’s favorite part to be stroked!

The overall pleasure brought to the dog by the abdomen exceeds any other part of the body. Moreover, I believe that many shit shovelers know that the abdomen is the most vulnerable part of cats and dogs. If they generously show their abdomen in front of you and ask for stroking, it means that they trust you very much and obey you!

It is equivalent to telling you: You are my best friend!

So, don’t wait, hurry up! Stroke it!

What other parts of the dog’s body can be stroked and which can’t be stroked? See the picture!

Where does your dog like you to stroke it the most?
