Pet owners who raise dogs definitely want their dogs to be happy every day, but do you know? Sometimes your unintentional behavior can hurt a dog’s heart for a long time. Today, editor Boqi will talk about behaviors that make dogs feel sad. Take a look.

The First Thing: Shaving the Dog’s Fur

For dogs, their fur is very important, so after owners shave them, dogs usually feel they have become ugly, and thus become unwilling to see people. Some dogs even suffer from loss of appetite and depression. Therefore, when facing this situation, owners must praise their dogs in time, and if possible, avoid shaving the dog’s fur, especially do not shave them bald.

The Second Thing: Not Allowing the Dog to Socialize with Other Dogs

Some owners, considering their dog’s safety, dislike letting them play with other dogs. But dogs also need social interaction. Dogs that do not interact with peers for a long time can develop depression. So when dogs are socializing, owners should not stop them.

The Third Thing: Frequent Scolding of the Dog

Although dogs, like children, need to be taught when they make mistakes, owners should not frequently scold or even physically punish dogs over minor issues. Doing so will make dogs sensitive, insecure, and even develop aggressive tendencies.

The Fourth Thing: Refusing the Dog’s Affection

Dogs love their owner’s petting and companionship very much, so sometimes they will run up and act spoiled seeking comfort. But if the owner refuses them at this moment, it will make them feel very disappointed.

The Fifth Thing: Long-term Neglect and Ignoring the Dog

Of course, dogs hope to gain their owner’s attention. So if the owner ignores or neglects their dog for a long time, the dog will feel unimportant, become depressed, and may eventually develop depression.
