Many people keep dogs not only because of the cuteness of the dogs, but also because of the sincerity of the dogs to their owners. In many cases, the owners No one can understand the weird behavior of a cute dog. It turns out that these are the instincts of dogs, so what do you know about the instincts of dogs?
1. Land nature: It is a dog's nature to defend his homeland and habitat from humans or other dogs. When birds or other animals join the land, it ignores them. Dogs believe that humans and dogs are their species, and are suspicious aggressors to any species they are not familiar with.
２. The nature of gathering in groups: Wild dogs form groups. Domestic dogs regard their owners as the leaders of the group and control the collective vigilance. If a stranger (human or dog) is accepted by the leader of the group (dog owner) without any aggressive behavior, the dog will also accept the stranger. When the leader (dog owner) is absent, the dog takes his place and assumes the responsibility of defending the land. The behavior is also very different. Even a small and quiet female dog will show "land aggression".
3. Chasing the postman: Short-term visitors (such as postmen) will increase the dog's "land aggression" because the dog barks and warns the visitors to leave, and they leave quickly. The dog thinks they are timid and weak, and will The Postman Overcome joins the category of objects that can be chased but that they will shrink from. The countermeasure for this behavior is for the owner to arrange to introduce the postman to the dog so that the dog can often see you (the leader of the group) accepting the presence of visitors.
４． Hunting nature: Although dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years, some dogs still have the nature to chase and catch prey. They sneak, catch and kill some small animals. Most dogs only chase their prey for a short time.
5． Chasing cats: For dogs, cats are objects of exercise rather than a meal. Cats generally induce the instinct of catching prey in dogs because of their small size, coat, fast movement, and ready escape at any time. Generally speaking, this kind of chasing is harmless, but it only makes the cat scream and spit. A dog can distinguish between different cats, and it can get along peacefully with cats from the same family. It may chase a cat outside and then den with cats from the same family after returning home.
6． Regarding the commotion of the flock: Sheep are the prey of genius, and they will run away when being chased. A dog that is not familiar with sheep will often chase the sheep when it sees them. Some dogs just chase the sheep and trap them in a corner. Some dogs will continue to disturb the sheep, bite or even kill the sheep. This is quite serious. Behavior When you wear your dog through a herd, it is never possible to tighten the collar.
7． Smell without becoming familiar with the object: SmellThe lack of familiar people, things, and things (including dogs) is one of the strongest instincts of dogs, and dogs' senses are very developed.
8． Social sniffing: Mutual sniffing is the first step of social communication between dogs. It starts nose to nose. At this time, the head and tail are held high. Any attack situation will trigger a fight. Most of them are nothing more than Circle each other, sniff each other.
9. Smell marking: Isaac's urine mark marks the male dog's desire to urinate frequently. The hot smell of feces secretion is also used to mark the reason why the male dog urinates frequently with its scent. Overwhelms the rest of the dog's scent signature (pee). Dogs also often dig in the soil with their forelegs, and the sweat glands on the dog's hind paws are also used for breath marking. Dogs will sometimes roll on materials with strong odors, and these odors will be stained on their bodies, enhancing their odor. Rare examples are pig or bird feces. These smells are unbearable for humans, but dogs often enjoy them without getting tired.
It shouldn’t be strange when you see dogs teaming up or chasing cats and postmen. These are all natural behaviors for dogs.
