When you raise dogs, have you noticed any bad habits in your dogs? I think the biggest bad habit of dogs is their tendency to bite things. Some dogs even like to bite their owners’ heels. So do you know why dogs have this habit? Let's take a look.
Hunting Instinct
If you carefully trace it back to the earliest days of dogs, they were not human pets at that time, but were self-reliant like wolves and had the instinct to hunt. Therefore, when dogs play with their companions, it can be found that they like to make quick sprints and jump on each other. Because of this instinct, when they were young, Paw Paw would also use the owner's heels as a training object. As long as the heel moves, Paw Paw will enter a simulated state.
Lack of self-confidence
Some dogs lack self-confidence and are petite. In order to increase their momentum, they will "strike first to gain the upper hand." Rather than facing off head-on, these dogs will attack secretly from behind and adopt bite-and-run guerrilla tactics.
Be wary
When guests come to your home, some dogs will go around behind the guest's heels, open their mouths and bite down, with varying degrees of force, often frightening the guests and making the owners extremely apologetic. Usually, this type of barking dog is more vigilant. In order to protect themselves and their family, they will behave like this "warning".
Professional instinct
Some dogs are breeds that were bred as working dogs, such as border collies and Welsh Corgis. Taking corgis as an example, they will bite their heels while spinning in circles in order to gather everyone into a circle. If an animal leaves the group, corgis will bite his heels again to force him back into the circle.
