How Can I Understand A Dog If Something Goes Wrong

Can a dog be understood based on the signals it gives us and its gestures? Our canine friends are just another member of the family and they love each other, but sometimes human displays of affection have nothing to do with doggy language.

Dogs and human beings have very different ways of expressing affection. When we caress our pet, it is not a good idea to touch some areas that do not like us to touch them, such as the head, legs, tail or muzzle.

It is very pleasant for our dog that we caress its back, the area under the muzzle and the neck with the back of the hand, the part of the sternum, the back and the sides of the body. In any case, we will be attentive to change our way of showing them affection, if we see that they do not like it.

How to understand a dog?

Often to understand a dog it is best to put yourself in their situation. If we touch their heads a lot and see that they do not like it, it is possible that we think that we would not like it either.

It must be remembered that each dog is particular and has its own character. Therefore, there is no better way to understand a dog than to observe it well and analyze its reactions.

Some signs

There are reactions of our pets that we can call signs of calm or restlessness. Sometimes they are gestures of complacency, of tranquility. Other times they show us that a behavior is not pleasant for them, so that we change our attitude.

The visual aspect is also important. If we stare at our dog, we can make him look uneasy. They associate sight with predatory instincts, and smell with curiosity.

When we stare into our pet’s eyes, they will usually expect something from us.

When it comes to smell, they will use it to know what we smell like.

Detecting the disease in a dog

The first sign that tells us that our canine friend may be sick is loss of appetite. They are always ready to eat, especially if it is something they like. If we see that his food bowl is not empty and he does not want to eat, not even his favorite food, it may be time to go to the vet.

In the event that our dog vomits, the normal thing is that it is not something serious. They eat different things that they find on their way and it is normal that they can feel bad. If we observe that they vomit a couple of times, they have mild diarrhea and in two days they recover, we should not worry. Another different thing is that these symptoms remain for more than two days.

Some symptoms of illness to understand a dog

• Fever is an unequivocal sign that the dog is sick, and that it may have an infection. We will locate this situation well if we see the animal with a high temperature, dull of spirit, without wanting to play and without appetite.

• When we observe that our friend drinks a lot of water outside of the days when he does a lot of physical activity or when it is not very hot, it is another sign that something is happening. It could even be a chronic disease, like diabetes.

• If the urine is very cloudy or there are traces of blood in it, it could be an indication of an infection or some kidney problems.

• Another detail that we can observe is that our pet paws some area of ​​his body very repeatedly. That’s another important sign that something is wrong.

• Sounds can also alert us, such as howls, moans, cries, etc.

A repentant dog

If our pet does something wrong at home, it is important to know that if we do not scold him at the same time he does it, it will not help. They are not able to associate that the scolding is for something that they have broken or done wrong a long time ago.

Before our reproaches, the animal will be sorry, it will become sad, but it will not learn anything, because it does not assume its guilt and does not know how to interpret anger. He will simply try to stop us from being angry.
