Personal boundaries

Dogs can get very offended if their owners constantly push them away. For example, when the dog is trying to get attention or wants to lick the owner. In order to avoid such situations, it is better to teach your dog personal boundaries from the very first days. So that the dog understands when and in what situation tenderness and expressions of love are possible, and when they are not.

Never tease dogs

You shouldn't tease your dog, even when playing. For example, touching his face when he is sleeping or pulling his tail. These behaviors make your dog feel embarrassed, and it can really cause them stress.

In addition to these points, the veterinarian emphasizes the importance of observing your pets and their behavior. For example, he emphasizes that constant scratching of the ears or paws may indicate that your pet has food or seasonal sensitivities.
