Dogs believe in omens

Do you believe in omens? Do you spit over your left shoulder if a black cat crosses the road? Or maybe you try not to step on the cracks in the sidewalk? Or do you have “happy” things that will surely bring success in the upcoming negotiations?

You may be surprised, but our best friends … believe in omens! Moreover, these signs largely determine their lives.

For example, if you put on a business suit, this is to separation – for a whole working day. But if you take out “walking” jeans from the closet, it’s probably for a walk in the park! Do you take a ball and a rope for constriction? So it’s time for training! Pack that big bag over there and take the car key? Oh, this is a reliable sign that a trip to the country awaits all of you.

Will accept many dogs in life. And most of them come true.

Dogs are very observant. And they even notice those features of our behavior that we ourselves do not pay attention to. For example, one owner attributed the fact that the dog was already at the door, when the owner herself had not even begun to get ready for a walk, to the “telepathic” abilities of the pet. Until she herself noticed that every time before starting to get ready, she looks out the window overlooking the courtyard. It was a mechanical action, not realized by a person, but for the dog it became a clear “sign” of the upcoming trip to the park and meeting with friends!

Signs (although we often call them rituals) are very important for dogs. After all, they bring predictability into their lives, which means they add calmness and confidence.

Plus, it can be convenient. Since, knowing about this feature of dogs, the owner can create those rituals (or “signs”) that are convenient for him.
