Guys! I’m back with another popular question that I get asked from time to time.
Why does my dog scare some people but not others? But today you are not alone. Here is my sister Mia and her Rottweiler. He says: Hello!
Now Mia and Lottie, a cute girl named Priscilla, have been living together for almost two years. She held him and taught him everything since he was a little puppy. Yes, I was involved in that, in case you were wondering. James
Anyway, Mia has noticed a pattern recently and it’s starting to bother her. Please tell me what happened, Mia!
Priscilla started purring, something you don’t usually say even to cats! It happened the first time an old woman approached him in the park. They kicked him out and I immediately became the weird girl with the dangerous dog. I assure you Priscilla is not dangerous!
But the same thing happened last week when I introduced my new boyfriend. I don’t want to end my relationship just because he doesn’t get along with my partner. I wondered why he did that. He won’t yell at mom, dad, you (Liam) or my friends!
That’s a good question, Mia. Let me get down to business and help you find the answer!
Sometimes people seem suspicious
What is happening with him?
Priscilla is a great Rottweiler! He is an experienced guard, guard and a beautiful specimen of his breed. Despite the popular belief that Rottweilers are dangerous, he is an absolute favorite.
I must add… great judging personality!
Some people seem suspicious. This generally applies to the way they walk, the way they talk, the way they move their arms, and even the way they wear accessories like big sunglasses or hats.
The woman was wearing a big hat with flowers on it! Reminds me of Queen Elizabeth!
Is there!
The woman may not be evil, but Priscilla couldn’t get a good look at her face. He saw this as a threat and screamed.
Dogs like to assess their situation and the people around them. If you don’t know what’s going on or who’s coming, you’ll feel anxious. Anxiety breeds fear, and fear can breed aggression. Sometimes I just smell!
Mom, it stinks! Eck
I’m sorry Mia, but maybe your new boyfriend is the problem.
Dogs don’t like certain smells because they associate them with unpleasant smells. I’m not saying your boyfriend stinks, but he probably has a faint odor that Priscilla doesn’t like.
It can really be anything. Perhaps Priscilla remembered the smell of the flowers the day she fought another dog in the park. He probably had fish for lunch and you know how much he hates fish of any kind. Maybe he petted another dog on his way to you and the smell got to him. We can guess all we want and we still don’t have an answer. You can help Priscilla and your friends get along, but we’ll talk about that soon.
Remember: a dog’s ability to smell many smells is amazing!
Please note that some dogs develop cancer in patients that have not yet been diagnosed. How strong is that nose! |1|
What to do when the bell rings
Growling is acceptable as long as there are no other signs of aggression or barking. But since you have a particular problem with Priscilla and growling at your boyfriend, there are a few things you can do to get her used to it. Treat your dog! They work all the time.
I know Priscilla is a great dog and completely obedient, so she won’t cause any trouble on our next date. Ask your friend to sit still and be quiet when he comes to you. Reward him if he doesn’t growl, but reject him if he screams. A few repetitions will put the idea of enlargement out of his mind.
Now your friend must do the same. Ask him to bring a bag of his favorite snacks so that the scent will affect him too. Then ask him to do the same and reward him. Don’t worry if it takes a while to warm up. This does not mean that there is a problem with your dog or that your dog is seeing things that you are not. But please, sister… if he keeps yelling and he’s your boyfriend, please let him talk to you. Maybe Priscilla is up to something, and as a big brother, I think I should talk to her a bit. source:
