1. Nostalgia and attachment psychology

When a person is far away from his hometown and comes to a strange environment, he always has the thought of recalling the past and missing his relatives. In his mind, he always wants to take the time to go back and see his relatives. This kind of mental state of nostalgia for his hometown is called nostalgia by psychologists. Attachment psychology or regression psychology. Dogs also have this mentality, and their desire to return is stronger than that of humans.

People often say that dogs have a strong ability to return home, which is the best embodiment of dogs’ nostalgic attachment psychology. When dogs, especially adult dogs, change their owners and come to a new and unfamiliar environment, they will always be unhappy for a period of time, treat the new owner indifferently, and be wary. Sometimes they will even retaliate for kindness and wait for an opportunity to escape and rush back to their homeland. The reason why the dog wants to go home is because the owner is at home. The dog wants to return to the owner. The dog wants to maintain a simple environment under the care and care of the owner.

Because of this, the dog endured all kinds of hardships, went through hardships, and returned alone from a distant and unfamiliar land. If your dog is adopted or given by a friend, there is a high chance that the dog will suffer from the above-mentioned situation. However, new owners, don’t feel discouraged. This behavior of the dog also proves that it is an affectionate dog. A righteous dog. If this happens, the new owner should put more effort into training the dog so that it knows that you love it and will be good to it. Even the most stubborn dog will understand one day and he will respond to you. So, don’t give up on your dog just because he behaves this way.

2. Jealousy

Dogs are obedient and loyal to their owners, but dogs seem to have a special requirement for their owners, that is, they hope their owners will love them. And when the owner favors one over the other in the distribution of affection, it often causes the dog to become jealous of the favored person, and even lead to fights. This kind of jealousy is the most obvious emotional expression in dogs’ psychological activities. Two external behavioral manifestations of this kind of jealousy are indifference to the owner, depression and aggression towards the favored person.

In fact, many dogs are stingy, especially small dogs that like to be clingy, such as Chihuahuas, golden retriever puppies, etc. They will not only become jealous of their own kind, but also become jealous of the people and objects around their owners. As an owner, if you feel that your dog is already jealous, you should spend more time for the safety of people and items around you.It's better to coax it.
