The dog does everything in spite and takes revenge

We learn more and more about dog behavior. And our four-legged friends seem more and more amazing to us. But, unfortunately, not all dog owners want to learn to understand their pets. And they are in the grip of harmful and dangerous delusions. One of these creepy myths is that a dog does something “out of spite” and “revenges”.

In our time, when there is a huge amount of available information, such misconceptions are unforgivable. The dog never does anything out of spite and does not take revenge. Attributing such motives to her is the clearest manifestation of anthropomorphism and evidence of illiteracy.

However, sometimes dogs behave “badly”.

Why does a dog behave “badly” if he does not do it out of spite and does not take revenge?

Every “bad” behavior has a reason. There are 6 possible reasons.

1. The dog is not feeling well. This is where uncleanliness, aggression, unwillingness to obey (for example, change posture when teaching a complex) and other problems come from. The first thing to check if the dog behaves “badly” (for example, made a puddle in the wrong place) is its state of health.
2. Insufficient socialization. From here grow the roots of fear of the street, aggression towards other animals and people and other problems.
3. The dog had a negative experience (for example, she was very frightened). It can also be the cause of aggression, fears and other manifestations of “bad” behavior.
4. You haven’t taught your dog how to behave properly. How many times have they told the world that a dog is not born with the knowledge of a set of human rules, and other owners cannot understand this in any way. And they are very surprised when faced with problems. Pets need to be taught proper behavior.
5. You, on the contrary, taught your four-legged friend – but not what you planned. That is, without realizing it, they reinforced the “bad” behavior.
6. The dog lives in unsuitable conditions for it. A dog living in abnormal conditions cannot behave normally – this is an axiom. And in this case, she needs to ensure at least a minimum level of well-being – 5 freedoms.

As you can see, none of the causes of “bad” dog behavior is due to revenge or the fact that the pet does something out of spite. And if your four-legged friend behaves “badly”, your duty is to find the cause and eliminate it. If you can’t do it yourself, you can always use the services of a specialist.
