It is known that having a dog at home improves a person's physical and mental health. Having a pet reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, and reduces the risk of heart disease. Did you know how dogs react to our love? Experts from Canine Cottages have found out how the heart rate of dogs changes when they are told "I love you." Bemorepanda loves dogs!

 

Experts from the British company Canine Cottages decided to test how dogs react to manifestations of love from a person, and were surprised at the results. They measured the pulse of the dogs at the time when the owners told them "I love you" and when they hugged the pets. They also established how a person's heart rate changes when they see a pet.

 

It turned out that the phrase "I love you" causes an acceleration of the heartbeat in dogs by 46.2% - the pet's heart begins to beat almost 1.5 times faster. At the same time, hugs have a calming effect on our pussies. By contrast, when a person hugs and cuddles their pet, the dog's heart rate decreases by 22.7%.

 

 

The human body also responds to interactions with a dog: researchers have found that when we see our pet, our heart rate increases by more than 10%. And this - in addition to the fact that having a pet reduces stress, lowers blood pressure and reduces the risk of heart disease.

 

 How do dogs show their love and affection for us? Among the main signs, the researchers named licking, greeting, "begging" for something, jumping up, lying with the stomach up, and much more. Also, if your dog misses you and is alone at home, he may find an object that smells like you and start chewing on it. This helps the animal to release endorphins and relax. Here is an explanation of why dogs often gnaw on things when they are alone.

Your dog doesn't know how to keep a secret. If he likes something, he shows it to you. If he hates something, rest assured you'll know. Are there things you do that you are not aware of that your dog hates? It's hard to say, because dogs have their own personality, including their own weaknesses. Bemorepanda is here to inform you.

 

Your dog may react differently to stimuli than other dogs. But here are the things that can cause negative reactions to your dog!

 

Habits your dog hates:

 

1. Removing him from smelly curiosities

People do not appreciate the smell as much as dogs, who live in an olfactory world. When you walk your dog, you both smell and see. But you see more, and your dog smells more. So people who walk their dogs, but constantly pull them with a leash when they try to smell the curbs, trees, grass, do a bad thing by dogs.

 If you do not see or smell something important, remember that the same does not apply to your companion.

 

2. Isolating him in a room during fireworks

It is well known that pets are stressed when they hear fireworks. You can't explain to them that they are to celebrate something. Most people keep their dogs in a quiet place in the house to calm them down. However, you should not limit your dog to one room.

 

He will constantly try to run away from the noise, and if he is in a narrow place, he will get hurt as he tries to run away. Create a safe space for him to hide, but don't make him feel stuck.

 

3. Foreigners in new places

 

Some studies have found that your pet is happy when he meets a new environment, but only when he is with you or a person he lives with permanently. A 2014 study found that stress in dogs, measured by heart rate, was induced when the animals were placed in a new place and comforted by a person who did not live permanently with them.

 

4. Wrongly scheduled walks

Walking the dog offers psychological, social and physiological benefits, but there are certain times of the day during several months of the year that can stress the dog. Even though a morning walk in the summer may seem perfect, it can be a little overwhelming and potentially dangerous for your dog. Its paws can burn from extremely hot surfaces.

 

5. We prefer words, not body language

We are a vocal species; we even like to talk to our pets, who can't understand anything we tell them. Dogs can deduce what some keywords mean - like "outside", "toy", "walk", but they can't understand human language. To realize what we want to convey to them, they rely on body language.

 

Dogs follow us all the time, read the language of the human body, like a sixth sense, and can figure out what we think or feel, often right in front of us. However, we can send confusing messages to our animals if we pay attention to what we say, not what we do. For example, when we give a dog the command to "sit" while we lean towards him with our hand outstretched, a gesture that practically invites the quadruped to come towards us. If the animal does, he is reprimanded for not obeying the verbal order.

 

6. We walk towards a dog looking him in the eye

Eye contact has a very strong effect, and for many species, it is a way to establish dominance. When you look insistently in the eyes of a dog, without blinking, even if you do it with love and smiling, the animal could interpret that you are trying to dominate it or even to be aggressive.

While some may have a submissive reaction, turning their gaze or sitting on their backs, others will bark nervously. For all, however, the situation will not be a comfortable one. Therefore, if you want to greet a dog that does not know you, bend down slightly - without turning your shoulders towards the animal, do not look him in the eye and speak to him in a gentle voice. All of these are signs of friendship and will help the quadruped understand that you are not a danger.

 

7. We pet the dog on the head

Most of us think that our little animals like to be petted on the head; it is not so at all. If you watch your dog's reaction, you wil

We notice that he leans his head slightly aside; he will, however, let you caress him, but not because he pleases him, but because you are his master. If you want to make him happy, caress his back, towards his tail.

 

8. We hug the dog

We like to hug our dog without knowing that he hates hugs. While we humans consider this gesture a manifestation of love, pets perceive it quite differently. Dogs do not have arms and do not hug each other; if one specimen puts its paw on the back of another, the gesture is considered one of domination. When embraced, many will feel threatened, frightened, and disturbed; in fact, there were many cases when children who resorted to such a gesture were bitten.

 

9. Strong perfume

Dogs have an extremely developed sense of smell and therefore, if you have used too much cologne, the quadruped will not sit next to you.

 

10. To be awakened from sleep

Nobody likes to be woken up, much less puppies. They will feel frustrated and disoriented. If you still need to wake him up, do it patiently, talking to him calmly and affectionately.
