Attention! Times You Should Avoid Approaching Dogs

There are many interesting facts about dogs that pet owners should share with each other, beyond just tips for using grooming tools and pet supplies. Previously, we discussed some blind spots regarding dog care and grooming techniques, but there are still some secrets that pet owners might overlook!

The more time you spend with your dog, the more similar you both become in appearance and habits. This has been scientifically proven. Jokingly, if dogs could use grooming tools themselves, they might do it just as skillfully as their owners! Do disobedient dogs exist? Absolutely! However, it depends on the situation. For example, service dogs like Labradors may refuse commands if they believe it could harm their owner, prioritizing safety. Similarly, many dogs at home often resist being groomed. When their owners are away, dogs will explore the unknown, even if it's a grooming tool they've never seen before. Many pet owners set up cameras at home to observe their dogs; typically, the dogs will run around, discovering the house's fun, digging out various grooming tools and toys. Yet, as the time approaches for their owners to return, they quietly drop their toys and wait by the door. Dogs can genuinely read your emotions—both sadness and joy. This ability is enhanced through daily interactions with their owners. MRI scans show that when dogs respond to human crying, the same parts of their brains activate as when their canine counterparts cry. Even slight differences in grooming actions can be perceived by dogs, allowing them to empathize with their owners. This explains why a dog might turn to give a hug when you're grooming them. A dog's sense of smell is not just keen; it's extraordinary. While humans might struggle to detect a grain of salt in 100ml of water, dogs can easily identify it. With those big, pleading eyes, how can you refuse your dog’s requests? When your dog brings you a grooming tool or toy and wants your company, even when you're busy, it's hard to say no. This is because dogs are among the few species that retain juvenile traits into adulthood. Imagine trying to refuse a puppy when you have a grooming tool or toy in hand! The structure of a dog’s shoulder blade allows for greater flexibility in movement. Most of their sweat glands are located in their paw pads, so regular grooming helps facilitate sweating. Additionally, dogs have a third eyelid that helps keep their eyes moist. What appears to us as quick movement is perceived as slow motion by dogs. They process visual information 25% faster than humans. This is why, even when you throw a grooming tool, dogs can retrieve it quickly and accurately. It’s quite difficult for dogs to get lost. With their exceptional sense of smell and hearing, and even the ability to see some ultraviolet light and perceive ultrasound, finding their way home is a piece of cake. No matter where you hide their toys or grooming tools, they will always manage to locate them if they want to. According to animal psychologists, dogs are smarter than most two-year-old children, capable of understanding up to 250 words and gestures. They can recognize many commonly used grooming tools and toys. Therefore, early and detailed training is essential to help them develop good habits, such as regular grooming, bathing, and using the bathroom. As close companions to humans, dogs have many insights that we often overlook in our daily lives.
