We may have seen brave dogs fighting, chasing bad guys, and offering clever solutions, but do you know that dogs are actually quite timid? Just like humans, dogs also have things that scare them! In fact, there are four things that dogs are most frightened of, so scary that it makes them quiver……

 

Dogs' Top Fears

Loud Noises

You should know that dogs have very sensitive hearing, so when they encounter explosions, fireworks, or other loud noises, they often feel scared. Some dogs even choose to hide in corners, shaking all over, showing clear signs of anxiety.

 

Bath Time

Bathing can be a completely different experience for different dogs. Some dogs love bathing to feel fresh, while others, especially large breeds, are very averse to it. This is because dogs generally do not like their hair being wet, as it makes them feel insecure.

 

Pungent Smells

Dogs don't only have sensitive hearing, their sense of smell is also extremely keen. However, this heightened sense of smell also makes them sensitive and afraid of certain spicy smells, like smoke, perfume, alcohol, and strong onion, garlic, and mustard flavors. Moreover, because a dog's sense of smell is far more sensitive than humans, they can even detect molecules at a level that's harmful to their sense of smell, potentially reducing their smell detection ability.

 

Doctors

What scares dogs the most might be doctors in white coats. Every time they see a doctor, dogs always remember their unpleasant experiences of vaccination and medicine-taking. They can be said to be dogs' eternal enemy!

 

Conclusion

After all, as dog owners, we should care about the psychological health of our dogs and give them enough love and support. Only when we pay attention to the warmth and our love for them can they truly become our loyal partners, sharing every beautiful moment in life together~
