If the social fear of dogs is not resolved, they either dare not go out or fight with other dogs as soon as they walk the dog?
We all know that more and more young people are suffering from social phobia, but in fact dogs often have social phobia too. When the owner takes the dog for a walk on the street or in the park, the dog will fall into fear and anxiety because of the lack of social skills, so that it will avoid people and other dogs, and even have aggressive behavior. If the owner does not solve the dog's social fear in time, then not only can he not take the dog out of the house, but it will also have great harm to the dog's own health.
Social fears in dogs include fear of people, other animals, unfamiliar environments, and other stimuli. The owner may find that your dog is very close to his family, but when he encounters a stranger, he will become extremely fearful and anxious, and he will definitely find a corner to hide. Likewise, dogs can be relaxed and natural at home, but timid when they go out. These situations are all manifestations of social anxiety in dogs. The degree of social anxiety in dogs is also divided into severity, and the performance of dogs with different degrees is also different.
Social anxiety in dogs
Usually a dog's social fear is manifested by becoming very timid outside, and if forced into a corner, the dog may also act aggressively to protect itself. Some dogs also scare off each other by barking loudly, or pounce on people or other animals. Timid dogs hide directly behind their owners or in corners. Dogs with severe social anxiety can even go into extreme tension, panting, drooling, and even incontinence.
Why do dogs have social anxiety?
1. Some puppies are forced to be separated from their families after birth. Insecure, they usually fall into social anxiety when they first meet their owners or other dogs. Especially when suddenly faced with unfamiliar environments, such as new homes, cars, parks, etc., puppies will be too late to adapt to unfamiliar people and environments and become fearful and anxious.
2. Dogs who have been abused are also prone to social anxiety. Even if some dogs are rescued from the breeding grounds, they may not be able to get out of the shadows for a short period of time, and they are afraid to make contact with people, associating everyone with previous negative experiences.
3. It is very common for stray dogs to have social fears. The long-term stray life makes them only know how to survive. Dogs generally do not trust people and hate going to crowded places.
4. The owners of small dogs feel that the puppies do not need to be walked very much, so they rarely leave the house and have no understanding of the outside environment. Therefore, it is easy for the owner to take these dogs out suddenly, which can easily cause the dogs to fall into social fear.
