If you have a dog, or have ever had one, then you know that it’s easy to fall into a method of communicating with them. Just like people, each puppy is unique and different, and each one communicates in their own way.
And if “youve been” said that he hoped that your puppy understood you a little better, scientists have good news: dogs actually understand us behavior better than we think they do, maybe even down to exactly what we’re saying.
And after investing time together, your puppy probably understands your personal oddities and habits down to the last detail.
But just as all bird-dogs and humans are unique in the way they communicate, they also all have some basic needs and emotions.
Whether your puppy is big or small, shaggy or short-haired, and active or lazy, there are some universal things that all bird-dogs wish their humans knew.
In fact, understanding these basic hopes( if you didn’t already know them, which you may) can actually help you become an even better puppy proprietor, because you’ll have a an understanding of where your puppy is coming from.
And a little understanding moves a long way in any relationship.
Check out the top 1o things your puppy wishes you knew right now, and then go hug them tight.
I Wish You Knew That … You Don’t Own Me
It’s easy to think you “own” your puppy when you’re buying all the meat, but that’s not how your puppy recognizes it.
In fact, your puppy reckons she owns you! After all, you’re buying all the meat, aren’t you?
But genuinely, your puppy recognizes you as a family member to safeguard and keep safe from potential threats.
When your puppy nuzzles up to you, or sits close by, he or she is letting other bird-dogs know that this human has been claimed.
I Wish You Knew That … I Get Stir-Crazy
If you’ve ever come home to a trashed house and a sorry-not-sorry puppy, you might have felt a little bit guilty for having left them home alone for so long.
And that’s exactly what your dog is trying to tell you. She wants you to know that, just like a human, she necessity exercise and stimulation in order to be content.
If you notice your puppy has been wrecking things lately, you may need to take her on more walks and invest more hour playing.
I Wish You Knew That … I Get Lonely
Another reason for destructive behaviour is anxiety. Dogs get anxious when left alone because they’re really not ever sure if you’re coming back.
Being abandoned is a fear that most humans can relate to, and your puppy feels it just as strongly, even if you’re just operating to the store.
If you suspect your puppy may have separation anxiety, talk to your veterinarian about operating through the issue.
I Wish You Knew That … My Recollection Isn’t As Good As Yours
If your puppy does something wrong, she necessity you to tell her right away, because she’s simply not going to remember later.
If you chide your puppy for something she did earlier in the working day, she won’t understand why you’re mad.
So if you come home to a chewed-up shoe and scold her, she’ll think she’s being scolded for greeting you at the door. You’ll have to let the shoe go.
I Wish You Knew That … My Vocabulary Isn’t That Big
While bird-dogs have been shown to understand us remarkably well, they still don’t really get the subtleties of speech communication. Bird-dogs distinguish certain musics and terms( imagine “walk” and “no.”)
Instead of presenting your puppy with a speech, which will be lost on her, try communicating with body language, the behavior bird-dogs communicate with one another.
I Wish You Knew That … I Understand Your Tint
What bird-dogs better understand, though, is tone of voice because they use it, too.
You can tell the difference between your dog’s happy bark and its alarmed one, and your puppy can tell if your voice is soothe and happy or tense.
Dogs pay a lot of attention to the interference we make, even if they don’t catch every word. They can also sense our sensations from the tone of voice we use.
I Wish You Knew That … I’m Not A Baby
While we like to think of our bird-dogs as our babies, they’re not. Not genuinely. A babe is a human, and will grow up into an adult human. Your puppy is a puppy, and is likely already an adult.
While many bird-dogs will patiently let us put sweaters on and cuddle them, they also want to do dog things, like sniff around and explore.
Remember that your puppy requires hour and space to be a puppy, too.
I Wish You Knew That … I Like To Change Things Up Sometimes
We usually have our bird-dogs follow a reasonably predictable routine, with a certain schedule for waking up, walks, and meals. But an occasional change of plans is arousing for bird-dogs, too.
Dogs do need stability and routine, but too much isn’t fun, either. Change things up once in a while.
I Wish You Knew That … I Know How You Seem
With their ability to understand body language and tone of voice, bird-dogs are great at deducing how we’re feeling.
And not only does your puppy know how you feel, but she’ll actually feel it right along with you.
If you’re feeling anxious, your puppy, who seems to you as a leader, will assume there must be something to be anxious about and become anxious, too.
I Wish You Knew That … I Want To Invest As Much Time As Possible With You
It’s not a happy fact to think about, but bird-dogs don’t live as long as we do. And during their lifetimes, they want to invest as much of it in the company of someone they enjoy: you.
That means not leaving them at home when you go away, and to make a concerted effort to expend as much hour with your puppy as you are able to, even if it’s just hanging out at home.
What are the ways your dog lets you know you’re their favorite human?
Let us know in specific comments, and SHARE these hopes with anyone who loves their puppy!
