Do you know? Dogs also have their own "fatal holes". Some things can make them tremble, as if they have encountered some big horror. So, what are dogs afraid of? Let's take a look together!

Thunder and lightning

Do you know? Dogs have super sensitive ears, and a little movement can make them alert. So, when thunder rolls and lightning breaks through the sky, the dog may be frightened to hide under the table or under the bed, trembling. At this time, remember to give them a warm hug and tell them "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

High noise

In addition to thunder and lightning, other huge noises, such as the sound of firecrackers, construction sounds, etc., may make the dog feel scared. They may cover their ears with their paws, or find a place to hide them, avoiding noise. At this time, we can try to speak to them in a soft voice and soothe their emotions.

Stranger environments and people

If you take your dog to a new place, or if a stranger comes to your home, they may feel uneasy. The dog may be close to the owner, or hide in the corner, observing new environments and new faces.

Punishment

For dogs, being punished by their owners is a very terrible thing. They will feel scared and frustrated as a result, and may even feel fear of their owners. Therefore, when educating dogs, we should try to avoid using punishment methods, but instead adopt encouragement and guidance methods.

Bathing time

For many dogs, bathing time is simply a "nightmare". The water flowed down, and the pungent shampoo smell made the dog feel like it was struck by lightning. They will struggle desperately and even want to escape.

So, when bathing a dog, it is best to prepare some toys it like or give it some snacks to distract it, so that the bathing process will be much smoother.

Go to the pet clinic

For dogs, the pet clinic is like a "horror house". There were sharp needles and pungent potion smells, which made the dog shivering when he thought of it. Every time they take their dogs to the veterinarian, they become very well-behaved, as if saying, "Please, let me go!"
