This is why it just never stops.♾️
The reason it keeps happening.
It's working in that very moment and it's remembered.

A pattern has formed, a history and it worked!

Running and barking in front of the gate when the courier arrives.
Nudging your hand when you're relaxing in the lounge.
Barking through windows at that dog walking past.
Even pulling and dragging you along when they are desperate to reach that tall grass around that tree.
All of those are examples.

The reasons behind the "why" sometimes look complicated to us.
We can't quite figure it out.
It's almost "mystical" because we cant quite grasp why.

When we shift from "why won't they stop" to "what's in it for them" those patterns can be obvious.

Are you, "just over it", frustrated and "tried everything" ?
Take a deep breath, step back and look at things in a simpler way.

How were they rewarded?

$5 for Blu, one of our sanctuary dogs.
Beautiful Blu is a bite case & has been with us 6 yrs now!
She loves her house & run, daily toilet paper rolls, raw bones, weekend walks with dad, during the summer mom gets the splash pad out just for her!
On average we spend $100 per week on just Amazon for enrichment for these 28 dogs.
That's not even counting prescriptions & vet visits. Without any other fundraising opportunities we're stuck here asking for help.
So please give up a candy bar or coffee for one of these adorable dogs and all the seniors & unadoptables that are living out their days here.

I never like saying this.🫣
We see it as affection.
Dogs can see it as a restraint.
That's the issue here.

As humans we feel a desire to show our love and affection the exact same way we show it to our family.
We wrap our arms around, pull closer and squeeze tight.
They may wriggle, so we hug tighter.
We might playfully wrestle with them when they move away or try to leave, we often do that to other people we know well.

That doesn't mean it translates well to dogs.

If a dog is trying to leave or is not accepting or receptive to a hug, don't insist.
If we need to use our strength to hold our dogs from leaving, they don't want a hug.
They want space.
Space equals safety to a dog.

Don't take it personally, many dogs don't like hugs.
It goes back to feeling restrained and having their freedom of movement restricted.
Being able to move away from anything they're uncomfortable with builds trust way more than insisting they accept that very close, tight physical contact.

Children often greet family dogs with hugs and that's absolutely fine if that dog is happy to be hugged by that child, but this may form a habit of greeting other dogs by getting low, face to face and restraining/hugging a dog they don't know.

Hugs aren't a right we should insist on.
If a dog accepts them and enjoys them, that's trust built over time and feeling safe.

It's not from restraining and removing options to move.
