13 Things humans do that dogs dislike

10. Strong Smells

The dog nose knows! As they’re between 10,000 – 100,000 times more sensitive to scents than human noses, you can imagine that the strong smells of cleaners, products, and perfumes can really bother your pooch.When using anything that has a strong odor, make sure your dog is at a distance from the source of the smell, so as not to assault his nostrils.

11. Being In A Bad Mood

Whether you’re angry, sad, or stressed, your dog, with her amazing empathy, she knows how you’re feeling! Everybody has bad days, but if negative emotions have you in a never-ending slump, your dog may really start to get affected. She can adopt your feelings, and even get physically ill if there’s no sunshine to break through a gloomy spell.

12. Leaving Them Alone Too Much

Dogs are pack animals, and they live for you! If you spend many hours a day away from your dog–then ignore him once you’re home–he will be one sad (and perhaps, vindictive) pup!

Almost everyone has to work long hours at some point, but make sure you spend time with your pooch once you’re home. And if your schedule is always hectic? Dog sitters or doggy daycare may help stave the loneliness. However, for a pooch, there’s nothing like one-on-one time with her favorite human.

13. Being Surrendered To A Shelter

Aside from being abused, dogs that are surrendered from the families that they know and love become completely heartbroken. Imagine: being kicked out of your home by the people you adore, and having no idea why you’re no longer wanted.

For us dog lovers (if you’re reading this, you must be one!), we cannot imagine subjecting our pups to such a fate. But because we empathize with these amazing animals, we cherish our own dogs, and even help the ones that need homes!

By following these tips, you can make sure your dog is living the happiest life possible.
