[Test] A small test of a dog's courage

English Springer Hound (details)

People will be more or less heroic, and they will admire those who are bold, and the same is true for dogs. A dog with extraordinary courage is often favored and appreciated by many dog owners. When we see on the silver screen that dogs show indomitable momentum towards all kinds of thrilling levels, we will applaud them even more, and our praise for them comes from the heart. For our own pets, of course, we want them to have good courage, so let's do some simple tests to see how brave our dogs are.

< strong > first, the performance of sudden sound < /strong >

Keeping calm in times of crisis is the basic condition of good courage. We can prepare some toys that can make strange noises, and suddenly make noises when they are not paying attention. This is the performance of waiting to observe them. If they show panic and run away in a hurry, it means that dogs are less courageous; on the contrary, they show calmness, calmness or indifference to these noises and continue to do what they want to do.

< strong > II. Performance at a high altitude < /strong >

Actually, it's a good test. We can put the dog on the table, and then spread some thick cushions on the ground (protection must be done well). It's best to have someone around to take care of it, so as to prevent it from falling from other places and getting hurt. After the preparation is done, you can test them. You can lure them by putting some of their favorite foods on the mat. If they are courageous dogs, they will jump off the table and enjoy their food without hesitation or hesitation for a while. The timid dog will show indecision, pacing back and forth on the table, always afraid to jump.

< strong > III. Performance in the face of many strangers < /strong >

A dog's "communicative ability" can also reflect its courage. You can invite more friends to visit and chat at home, and observe the dog's attitude when meeting strangers. Timid dogs may bark at them, or they may hide in a quieter corner in silence. Courageous dogs may be indifferent, or friendly to guests, or indifferent to sleeping alone, etc., which depends on the different personalities of dogs.

The above tests don't tell the whole story. Don't neglect the dog because you are not satisfied with the test results. This is not the original intention of the test. Besides, the dog's courage can be improved through certain training, so it is not the key that the dog's courage is small now. As long as it is well trained, there will be good changes in the end.
