How good are you at treating dogs and do you realize that there are some certain things you might do that your dog hates? Read the article to find out what 7 things you should never do to your dog if you do not want to make your pet angry and annoyed.

1. Do not keep the leash too tight
Loosen the leash! To be walked with a tight leash on is too stressful for your dog. It causes a lot of discomfort and does not give your dog enough space and freedom. Puppies feel fine when their leash is not too tight. They understand that everything is alright and there is no need to be tense or worried. A tight leash makes your dog nervous and aggressive. The best idea is to start teaching your dog to walk on a slack leash as soon as possible. The younger your dog is, the sooner he will learn it.

2. Hugging and cuddling
Dogs are not human and some certain things that people might find positive will feel and look uncomfortable or even dangerous to your dog. This applies to cuddles and hugging. No matter how sincere your emotions are your dog might misinterpret them. It is easy to explain why it is not a good idea to hug a dog. The matter is that placing your arms on your dog’s back shows your dominance. This might scare your dog and, instead of some positive reaction that you might want to get, all you will get is a bite. Some dogs do like to be hugged, but not all. So before hugging your pet, find out whether he objects it or not.
