As a pet owner, how we treat our pets might be detrimental to them. If they manifest their fears over something, the way we help them could eventually reinforce their fears instead of recovering from them. For instance, dogs will either fight or flee when faced with their fears. They will also learn that hiding or running away from their fears is a good way to deal with their feelings. However, the cause of this fear will remain. And if your dog comes across this stimulus, it will become fearful again. On the other hand, your dog can use specific aggressive behavior to eliminate the cause of fear. If we comfort our pet dogs in the presence of their fears, this might make the situation worse. They will think that it is acceptable to be afraid. Furthermore, if we offer food or a drink while facing a specific stimulus, our pet dog might associate it with their fears.
Any concern you may have about your pet’s health and/or behavior should warrant a visit to your animal hospital Virginia Beach, VA.
