Why
Do Dogs Love as well as Hate when their Ears are Rubbed
Are
you aware that amongst dogs, few dogs love to get their ears
rubbed and there are few other dogs that snarl at you the
moment you touch their ears even softly.A majority number
of dogs become more submissive once you get their ears rubbed
but at the same time when you exceed some limit the same caressing
may turn out to be irritating to your dog and there is every
likelihood of your dog getting aggressive and restive.
Why
Dogs Hate it
The
main reason for dogs getting aggressive when their ears are
touched is merely due to non-acceptance of strangers, as dogs
generally never allow to get bossed over by any stranger.
This type of act can be compared to any of your personal experience
of a stranger hugging you in a public place. Will you accept
such an act? Certainly not, and this is how your dog will
also feel whenever any stranger attempts to rub its ears.
As
said earlier, dogs never like to get bossed over by people
other than their owners and hence the moment any stranger
trying to reach for your dog’s ears will make your dog
to get into a defensive mode. However, this type of your dog’s
behaviour is good for you because no stranger can pacify your
dog and gain unlawful entry into your home.
Dogs
never get comfortable with strangers and for this reason that
they never allow strangers to touch their ears. And any unexpected
advancement by strangers to reach for the dog’s ears
will be seen as domination and your dog will try to resist
it either by barking or even by charging at the stranger.
However,
your dog may allow the same stranger to rub its ears if the
person becomes a known person due to frequent visits and your
dog will no longer see the person as stranger. Though any
aggressive dog may initially resist the ear rubbing act, over
a period of time the same dog may welcome such acts and may
even look forward to get their ears rubbed.
Why
Dogs Like It
There
are few dog breeds that are naturally submissive in its behaviour
and such dogs will always love the ear rubbing act without
any exception. Such type of dogs, whether you are a stranger
or not, will become more amiable when you stroke their ears
and these dogs also doesn’t mind if they get dominated
over by strangers. For instance, your Chihuahua, a smaller
breed by nature, may even roll on its back to any stranger,
be it a human or another dog, and this is mainly due to its
overly submissive nature.
