    Barking is a natural part of dogs and is capable of expressing a variety of different meanings.

    However, the time when a dog barks the most is when it meets a stranger. Almost every dog barks at a stranger for a while, but what is the reason for this? It is undeniable that not all strangers pose a threat to dogs, and some even hide away from dogs, but dogs will still bark loudly when they see them.

    There is more than one reason why a dog barks when it sees a stranger, and one of them is to attract someone's attention. The dog is an animal with a strong sense of community, and it wants to be valued by humans when it is part of human society. After meeting a stranger, the dog barks so "Wang", the stranger knows the existence of the dog, which is equivalent to saying hello to the stranger, there are indeed few dogs in this world who like to be ignored.

    Another reason why dogs bark at strangers is that they are not very friendly. Dogs are likely to be afraid of being bullied after seeing strangers, so they use barking to intimidate the other person. Dogs are very familiar with the environment in which they live, and they are aware of the sound of their owner's walking and the smell of their body.

    It is undeniable that dogs are indeed very timid animals. As soon as it encounters a stranger, hears different footsteps, and smells different smells, the dog can't help but be vigilant and has a sense of nervousness, so it will inevitably bark twice.

    The reason why dogs bark at strangers may be due to their strong sense of territory and sensitivity to strangers' entry, so they have similar actions out of defense. For dogs with a strong sense of territory, it is recommended to try to hold the dog leash as much as possible in the process of going out to avoid accidents such as bites and unnecessary disputes.

    When the dog sees a stranger barking all the time, it is because the stranger's body is an unfamiliar smell, not familiar, because the unfamiliar smell is afraid of harm, so barking keeps making a warning state.

    As a good partner and friend in people's lives, dogs are closely related to human life in daily life. Dogs will bark when they see strangers, because dogs have a very strong sense of self-defense, they will bark when they see strangers, so that bad people do not approach them and play a role in protecting themselves. Dogs are just small animals, and there are a lot of bad guys nowadays, and their barking not only protects themselves well, but also alerts their owners.

    The dog's code of conduct towards strangers is to judge the strength or weakness of the opponent according to the height of his or her gaze. As soon as a stranger approaches, the feeling of oppression coming down from above will make it uneasy, and if you use a low posture, it will accept you. For strange dogs, squat down and look away.

    Don't: Do not look at strange dogs, so as not to cause a provocative misunderstanding to the dog.

    When a dog lets people see its belly, it is a sign of surrender, admission of mistakes and obedience, and coquettishness to the other party. The dog will never attack an opponent who has fallen and exposed its belly. When sleeping with its stomach facing up, it means that it is very relieved or trusting, so that people can see or touch its belly.

    This situation is indeed a little abnormal, because the dog's personality is not particularly stable, and it is very afraid of unfamiliar environments, and may make barking sounds, and will also show a scared reaction when Zenchai sees a new owner. You can take the dog to the pet hospital to check the body to see if it is sick, so that the dog will be in a quiet state. However, some dogs have a very bold personality, are more receptive to new things, and especially like humans, such as Labrador puppies are very enthusiastic when they see their new owners, neither barking nor running around the house.

    Puppies are extremely loyal to human love, they don't know what licking a dog is, they only know that they love their owners very much. When the puppy sees the owner, it will feel that this person loves him very much, and his body exudes a very comfortable atmosphere for the dog, so it will naturally be relatively calm, and it will not make noise or be particularly ferocious. In addition, puppies are cute, and even grinning teeth will not scare humans, because with the absolute size gap, your ferocity may also make others feel cute.

    If the economic foundation is relatively good and you are still very worried, you can check the body of the puppy as said.

    I also saw a lot of finches on the Internet to pick up new dogs home**, these dogs are very quiet, maybe the dog's energy is exhausted, so they don't bark. You can give your dog a dinner and take it out for a walk to pee or stink. After that, put the dog in the cage, because the space of the cage is relatively small, it can make the dog feel safe.

    If the dog is barking, it means that he wants to sleep in the same room as his owner, and you can also put the dog cage at the foot of the bed in your bedroom.

    By the time of the 2nd or 3rd day, the dog's energy will be fully restored, and it will also show a lively and active personality, such as following the owner all the time, or biting some insects.

    "Why do dogs always bark at people in rags? There is an old saying that "the dog's eyes look down on people", and I don't know if there is an inevitable connection. When the dog sees a person with tattered clothes, it barks, perhaps because he doesn't pay attention to his clothes when picking up rags, and the dog is also very sensitive to dress, and it barks when it is torn; The same rich person, dressed neatly, the dog will not bark for too long.

    Dogs sometimes "dog fight". Sometimes I scream when I see a thin old lady or something; Sometimes the dog will bark when he looks at it and thinks that the person will bully him and threaten him, so he will bark when he feels fear. In fact, dogs sometimes have times when they bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, and they bark when they see children and the elderly; However, when you see a stronger man, you don't dare.

    There is also a reason because when the dog sees a stranger, it will also bark, so that it can tell others to prove its existence; Second, they are afraid of being bullied, so they use shouting as a way to intimidate the other party. And for those who are familiar with themselves, especially their own masters, they generally don't scream, at most they are excited and happy, which means "master, play more with me". It is also possible that the dog sometimes smells wrong, and because when picking up the rags and taking away something; Or it is possible to pick up the tattered ones and pick up other kennel things, such as:

    Something like a dog basin, it will mistakenly think that it is taking something that belongs to itself and the owner, so it will "call the police". And picking up the rags, there must be a lot of things, and the dog will also have a reaction to the canister or something in his hand, or the branch, or the pole. Why are dogs smart?

    Of course, it's not just that you're loyal to your owner, but in fact, many times you just need to pay more attention, and you will think that the dog is actually very funny and cute!

    Why do dogs see strangers and talk about whether they are bad or not (the situation is in the street, I think compared to dogs will think that it is not its territory and can be so fierce) and some will not I really can't stand it tonight Your dog on the side of the road has no owner and no leash I walked past it Originally, it was a road where people passed by it It was normal But it would follow it, and then I sent it away, and then I did a kicking motion, and then I followed the chaos and ran more excited. Then the owner appeared to solve it, and the dog was still there, and it was inconvenient to scold the owner! What if a dog follows me in the future and he notices it and becomes curious?

    By the way, why do cats keep looking at you motionless in the same situation? Because I don't know much about the psychology of pets, I don't have that thing, so I'm going to ask.

    I'm not a dog fan, anyway, I can't stand the dog, there is a dog in the communication room, and it is tethered to the door, every time I call half dead, I am scared to death, and I can smell the smell every time I pass by, especially in summer.

    But the dog also listens to the pitiful, destined to be chained to ** for the rest of his life, and the people in the communication room don't care about him, he just feeds it every day to make him breathe, and he has never seen it bathed. Otherwise, as a pet dog, how can it stink in the summer? It's better to have no one to raise it than to meet the total person.

    For the sake of human nature, whether you are a dog fan or not, a dog lover or a fear of dogs. As long as there are no threats and ignore them. As for why it barks when it sees strangers, it's hard to say, because no one can say what the dog felt at that time.

    The dog's intentions, just bark and ignore it, I hope you can be magnanimous and don't care.
