You\u2019re probably thinking, \u201cThere\u2019s no right or wrong way to go about patting the dog. I\u2019ve been petting dogs my whole life!\u201d Well, yes, maybe you have been sharing the love with every canine that crosses your path, so you have experience. And yes, dogs are far less picky than cats when it comes to being pet the right way. However, there are some instances where patting the dog can cause them stress or anxi\u00e9t\u00e9<\/a>\u2014which could lead to a trip to the vet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puisque vous voulez vous assurer que votre ami \u00e0 quatre pattes est heureux et d\u00e9tendu, il est important d\u2019apprendre la bonne fa\u00e7on de caresser un chien.<\/p>\n\n\n

Tout ce que vous devez savoir pour caresser un chien<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Il existe de nombreuses fa\u00e7ons de caresser le chien, mais si vous voulez la meilleure exp\u00e9rience pour vous deux, vous devez suivre certaines r\u00e8gles. La premi\u00e8re r\u00e8gle lorsque l\u2019on caresse un chien est d\u2019\u00e9tablir le contact uniquement s\u2019il vient vers vous en premier. Bien trop souvent, les humains prennent des libert\u00e9s avec les animaux, sans se rendre compte que parfois un contact est importun et stressant. Puisque vous voulez que votre chien vous fasse confiance, vous devez lui montrer que vous pouvez \u00eatre patient et, oui, digne de confiance.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les chiens ont \u00e9galement des go\u00fbts et des aversions individuels. Certains chiens pr\u00e9f\u00e8rent une bonne \u00e9gratignure au menton, tandis que d'autres pr\u00e9f\u00e9reront une belle tape \u00e0 la base de la queue. Lorsque vous lancez une s\u00e9ance de caresses avec un chien, recherchez des indices contextuels sur ce qu\u2019il pr\u00e9f\u00e8re. Peu d\u2019endroits sur un chien sont imm\u00e9diatement interdits, m\u00eame si les endroits les plus s\u00fbrs se trouvent toujours sur la t\u00eate, sous le menton, la poitrine et le dos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gardez \u00e0 l\u2019esprit que si les chiens dociles deviennent vifs lorsque vous les caressez, cela pourrait \u00eatre le signe d\u2019une blessure ou d\u2019une maladie. Emmenez imm\u00e9diatement le chien chez le v\u00e9t\u00e9rinaire pour un diagnostic. Certaines affections qui provoquent une sensibilit\u00e9 au toucher comprennent les otites, l\u2019inconfort des ongles et les douleurs arthritiques aux hanches et au dos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les chiens aiment-ils se faire caresser ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, dogs like to be pet\u2014as long as it\u2019s done the right way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Touch is something that all creatures crave, because it\u2019s such a special way to show you care. Touch also releases ocytocine<\/a>, l'hormone de liaison. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For both humans and dogs, touch soothes anxiety, lowers heart rate and blood pressure, and promotes a feeling of comfort. However, you need to know how to approach a dog correctly and pet them so they don\u2019t feel threatened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avez-vous mal caress\u00e9 votre chien toute votre vie ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So now that you know that trust must be established prior to petting a dog, you might have inkling that you\u2019ve been going about patting the dog wrong this whole time. Any dog you approach, be it a dog you\u2019ve seen dozens of times or a stray out in the forest, you have to avoid looking threatening. You shouldn\u2019t make the first move, and you need to be cautious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Des salutations appropri\u00e9es sont indispensables, tout comme une bonne utilisation des animaux de compagnie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petting, interestingly, can be used in lieu of verbal affirmations when training your dog. That\u2019s how important touch is to dogs. In fact, studies have found that dogs even prefer pets over \u201cgood boy\u201d<\/a> and consider it a reward for good behavior. For example, if your dog remains at your side when guests arrive instead of jumping around, give them a pet to show them that they\u2019re behaving well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn\u2019t going to work in more stimulating environments, though. If you\u2019re at the dog park, a pet isn\u2019t going to be enough to keep your dog by your side. It will, however, keep them calm enough to listen to your commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Utilisez \u00e9galement ces m\u00eames tactiques lorsque vous caressez de nouveaux chiens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Caresser un chien inconnu ou errant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So you\u2019ve come across a dog you don\u2019t know. The first rule is to never reach out to pet them. Reinforce this rule in your children, as well. They should never approach a dog who is clearly uncomfortable and trying to hide or run away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than reaching out where a dog could lunge and bite, give the dog a chance to come to you instead. Invite first contact by crouching or squatting down at their level and slightly turn your body to the side so your chest isn\u2019t facing them. With scared or timid dogs, this is a display that shows you aren\u2019t trying to be intimidating. If a dog seems far more confident, you don\u2019t have to squat down. Simply bend over, pat your thighs, and talk to them soothingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t hover over or around dogs. Make minimal contact visuel, car cela peut \u00eatre per\u00e7u comme une menace<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the dog allows you to pet them, avoid going any further than under the chin. Never touch the top of a fearful dog\u2019s head, as this could be seen as aggression from a bigger animal. Dogs often keep their nose and eyes to the ground, so anything touching the top of their head is threatening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caresser un chien amical<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Is the dog approaching with its tail wagging and eyes wide? Do you know this dog is friendly? It\u2019s still smart to let the dog initiate contact. Keep in mind that dogs live by their sense of smell and will want to smell your hand first. Curl your hand slightly, so your fingers are protected by the palm, just in case the dog becomes aggressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, only start by petting the dog under the chin. As mentioned above, patting the dog\u2019s head may be perceived as aggression; even friendly, docile dogs might snap. Only proceed to pet the dog\u2019s head when they are completely comfortable with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, don\u2019t be in a rush to pet a friendly dog who exposes his belly. While there are occasions where this means the dog wants belly pets, it can also mean the dog is intimidated. You don\u2019t want to come off as too pushy or threatening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only proceed to pet the dog beyond the chin and head when you\u2019re on good terms.<\/p>\n\n\n
