Dogs Provide Visible Love
In many human relationships, our feelings for each other are assumed. We speak of our love and show our love far less than we are capable of because we don’t even think about it, or because it’s easier or safer to assume that it’s understood. But dogs have no hesitation to show their affection. They do not worry about hiding their feelings, and in the process they not only show us that we are appreciated but remind us to share our feelings for those around us—canine or human.
Tumblr media
THERE WASN’T A LOT of room for affection in Joe’s work. Before shipping home, the Oregon National Guardsman patrolled the streets of Baghdad. But there was Daisy, a scrawny mutt who hung around the army base. Daisy had made friends with the last unit to occupy the base, and as Joe and the rest of the 162nd Infantry arrived, soldiers asked the new troops to take care of her.
Officially it was against the rules. But no one saw the value of forcing Daisy out into a grim future on the streets of the city. Soldiers had been slipping Daisy some military rations, but she didn’t start to fill out until Joe had his wife ship him a case of dog food. Daisy meant so much to Joe and his fellow troops that when it was time to return to the United States, Joe wanted Daisy to come home with him. With Daisy unwelcome on a military flight, Joe researched a private carrier that could get Daisy from Iraq to Kuwait and, after several more stops in between, eventually to Oregon.
It was an unusual commitment to make, but Joe had no doubt. “Daisy helped us get through that experience. For everybody in the unit, Daisy was a little bit of love, a little bit of hope in our day,” Joe says. In one study nearly all dog owners said that they could think of an example of their dog showing them affection that day, while only four out of ten could think of an example of a human showing them affection that day. (Roth 2005)

Dog Human Bond
Tumblr media
The Dog Human Bond is a profound and enduring connection, rooted in centuries of companionship. Fueled by loyalty, trust, and unconditional love, this unique relationship transcends verbal communication. Dogs intuitively understand human emotions, offering comfort and joy, while humans provide care, companionship, and a sense of purpose. From playful antics to unwavering loyalty, the Bond Between Dogs and Human is a source of emotional support, promoting mental well-being. As steadfast companions, dogs enrich our lives, exemplifying the beauty of a deep, non-verbal connection between two species.

5 Things People Do That Dogs Can't Stand.
Tumblr media
Your dog could hate the things you do, and you may not even realize it. The things that irritate dogs are different from the things that irritate humans. Generally, dogs dislike hugs, not being allowed to sniff, a lack of routine, and more. Even the most laid-back dog will hate some of the things we humans do—if they tolerate it, it's just because they love you or don't want to be dominant. Yes, certain things are unavoidable, like vet visits or grooming. However, there are other ways we can try to take it easy on our dogs. No two dogs are exactly the same, so what one dog hates another dog may enjoy.
No.5 Hugging
Tumblr media
It's really cute to look at photos of people hugging dogs, but the reality is not so comfortable. Many dogs do not enjoy hugs, especially from strangers. Placing your arms around a dog's neck or body may be perceived as a threat. Most dogs tolerate gentle hugs from trusted humans, but that doesn't mean they actually like them.
A better alternative is to let the dog cuddle on his own terms and pet him along the back and on the chest (especially if you don't know the dog well). Of course, some dogs do love to be hugged. It's important that you know your own dog and understand his limits. Pay attention to his body language to help you understand how he feels when you hug him. If he leans away, averts his eyes, yawns, licks his lips, has a worried look, or shows other appeasement gestures, he's probably uncomfortable.
No.4 Getting in a Dog's Face and Personal Space.
Tumblr media
Much like hugging, dogs tend to dislike it when humans get in their faces. Think about how it would make you feel! Avoid putting your hands in a dog's face, towering over dogs, and rushing towards them. This is especially important if the dog does not know you well.
As an owner, if you need to poke and prod your dog for his own good (like ear cleaning or tooth brushing) go slowly, be gentle, and reward your dog with treats and/or praise. If your dog exhibits appeasement gestures, shows signs of fear, or acts aggressive, back off! It's always best to be careful and prevent a dog bite.
No.3 Not Letting a Dog Sniff and Explore on Walks.
Tumblr media
Dogs enjoy going on walks for more than just the exercise. Taking a walk outdoors gives your dog a chance to explore the world. Your dog explores the world primarily through scent, then with his other senses (whereas most humans explore the world first through sight). Rushing your dog through a walk without allowing him to stop and sniff (and mark) is unkind.
If you think about it, it's like someone dragging you by the arm through your favorite shop without allowing you to stop and look at anything. If it happens all the time, that would be pretty frustrating, wouldn't it? So next time you walk your dog, give him plenty of time to explore his environment.
No.2 Lack of Routine and Rules
Tumblr media
Your dog may not seem like it, but he needs rules. If your dog is acting out, it's probably because you have not taught him the rules. Training is an important part of providing structure in your dog's life. A routine is important because your dog has an internal clock. Try to feed your dog at the same time each day. Establish an exercise routine too if possible.
After a few days of structured rules and routine, you will probably notice that your dog is happier. Routines and rules make your dog's world more predictable and can actually boost his confidence.
No.1 Yelling and Harsh Punishment.
Tumblr media
No one likes to be yelled at or harshly punished (such as being spanked). Dogs may not understand the words we are saying, but they sense your emotions when you do it. If you have a sensitive or fearful dog, you may find that yelling, and harsh punishment actually upsets or scares your dog. Fear does not equal respect, and you will not strengthen your relationship with these methods.
Even if your dog is aloof or ultra-happy, you will probably find that yelling and harsh punishment don't help in the long run because your dog becomes desensitized (meaning he does what he wants anyway and you just keep repeating yourself).
Positive reinforcement is generally the most effective type of training. To correct unwanted behavior, you can try redirecting your dog towards a preferred behavior instead of yelling or smacking him. Train your dog to "drop it" or "leave it" are great ways to stop your dog from eating or chewing something he shouldn't. You can teach him "come" or "watch me" to get his attention when he is doing something wrong. Be sure to reward him when he complies. Dogs are more likely to listen to you when you issue a request rather than a non-specific "no" or "stop it."
