😏OK..NOW WHAT? (your Q & A)
How Dog Parents Are Really Annoying Dogs.

 

Are we unintentionally annoying our dogs? Here’s how to tell.

It’s a fact, that even the most loving dog parents might occasionally rub their pups the wrong way, & not just the fur.

It’s important to know that being on your dog’s good side is not about being perfect, but learning how to avoid some common pitfalls:

  1. Interrupting their sleep: Ever been woken up mid-dream? Dogs feel just as cranky when we disturb their snooze sessions. (& what gives us the right to complain when they snore😏)

  2. Practicing “sink or swim” exposure therapy: Tossing them headfirst into scary situations can backfire, slow & steady wins their trust.

  3. Ending walks early: Dogs live for walks (& with that smells!). Cutting them short means less sniffing, exploring, & mental stimulation.

  4. Over scolding them: Saying “no” on repeat doesn’t work, redirect their energy & reward the good stuff instead.

  5. Letting strangers approach head-on: Imagine random people getting in your face. Dogs appreciate space & polite greetings too. Side-on is best.

  6. Ignoring playtime signals: If your pup’s looking at you like, “Hey, play with me!” then it’s time to drop the phone & join the fun. It’s good for your stress levels as well.

  7. Coddling small dogs: Tiny dogs need independence & training just as much as their larger counterparts, confidence is key.

  8. Ignoring their body language: Ears back, lip licking, tail down, learn their cues so you can avoid stressing them out.

  9. Overusing crates: Not every dog loves being confined, give them options like play pens or baby gates for more wiggle room.

  10. Talking without actions: Dogs aren’t hanging on your every word, in fact it can be confusing if you gabble on endlessly. Your body language speaks volumes.

Dogs just want us to show up for them in ways that feel right. Tweak how you interact, & you’ll notice happier tail wags in no time.

đŸ€”PAWSE TO REMEMBER

Skincare All Year. Regularly look past the fur, keeping an eye out for any changes or irritations that can be caused by shampoos & detergents. Irritants can come from many places like household chemicals, swimming pools, oceans or any body of water, or anywhere that bacteria, insects / parasites may be present.

One comment on this fabulous viral video said that “this family member is smarter than some of the people I know” Hmmm, I think some of us might agree.

🧐FACT or FLUFF??...Answer.  FLUFF

Dogs see a series of still images or ‘jerky’ flickering when they watch a standard TV because the rate images / frames refresh on the TV, so that they appear as continuous to humans, is lower than what dogs can detect (60HZ vs 75HZ). Modern TVs with higher refresh rates (120HZ) or more offer a smoother viewing experience for dogs.
