Today I saw a video about Teddy standing and walking on the hot search again, and I felt depressed. I wonder how many people will follow suit! How many dogs will suffer from it!

I believe you have all seen similar videos or animated pictures. The little dog walking upright like a human is very cute and has attracted a lot of attention. Is this really cute? This is sad, stop thinking ignorance is funny!

Or maybe tell you that the owner has said: He has never taught it these movements, it likes to stand on its own!

How do you know? Are you a dog? Or did your dog tell you? Well, to take a step back, even if the dog tells you that it likes to stand and walk, as a parent, you should guide it and correct its behavior that is harmful to the body. This is educating the child like a child, which is wrong. Let’s correct it! Instead of just making mistakes.

Although I saw the dog immediately stop him when he first learned to walk upright, instead of praising and praising him, how could the dog develop such a habit?

Anyone who has ever raised a dog should know that dogs will stand up under certain circumstances, especially when the owner has something in his hand and is not tall enough so he can only stand up! Or when they are excited and happy, they will jump up and down.

But at this time you say wow, that’s great, and then give the dog the food in your hand. This is a reward and encouragement for the dog! Whether intentional or unintentional, such "rewards" strengthen its behavior and encourage it. If the dog knows that there is a reward, it will continue to do this action repeatedly. Dogs are such animals that can endure great pain just for their owners to praise and reward them.

Below we can look at a case where a dog suddenly became paralyzed without any warning!

Little Baigui Chorong is a lively dog ​​who is very good at making his owner happy. He is a little treasure for the whole family!

But suddenly one day, Chorong became paralyzed without any warning.Paralyzed, the owner said: I held it for a while, and when I put it on the ground, it couldn't stand up on its hind legs...

After examination, it was found that the second half of Chorong's lumbar spine was damaged, resulting in paralysis.

Due to the paralysis of his lower body, Chorong cannot even take care of himself, so the owner has to change his diaper every day

Because of the pain, Chorong couldn't even sleep peacefully...

The cute Chorong still drags his legs to greet his master when he comes home! Being sensible makes people feel distressed....

Chorong always liked to stand and jump around at home, and the long-term stress on his hind limbs led to paralysis. This makes the shit picker feel very ashamed

After surgical treatment, Chorong began rehabilitation training!

Chorong can now stand in the water. Really hope it gets better soon!

Chorong’s owner did not deliberately train it to stand and walk. When Chorong started to stand up and make his owner happy, the owner thought it was funny and did not stop him.

When guests came, Chorong became more excited to perform this skill, and the onlookers applauded, causing it to develop the bad habit of standing and walking frequently, which eventually led to paralysis...

Why can humans stand and walk but dogs cannot?

The reason why humans can walk on two legs is because of their natural bone structure. The spine, hip joints, and hind legs can withstand greater pressure, which is very different from the structure of dogs.

It is very harmful to let your dog walk upright!

1. Hind limb paralysis, quadriplegia

The support of the dog's hind legs to the body mainly relies on the femoral head to fit into the hip joint (ie, the pelvic area). When the dog stands, the hip joint will bear tremendous pressure, which can easily lead to obstruction of blood circulation in the hip joint. If you walk upright for a long time, you are prone to femoral head dislocation, femoral head necrosis, hip joint abnormalities, cartilage wear and other diseases.

The dog's spine should originally be parallel to the ground, and its bearing capacity is far inferior to that of humans. Walking upright will share the weight of the body vertically on the spine. Over time, it will cause spinal deformation, narrowing of the medullary cavity, and compression of nerves. illness. In severe cases, it can lead to paralysis of the hind legs or even paralysis of the whole body...

Spinal injuries do not rule out occurring in the cervical spine (although walking upright usually does not directly affect the cervical spine, but there are no absolutes), and the most serious ones can lead to quadriplegia.

2. Urination function
Thoracic and lumbar spine diseases may also affect the dog's urinary function. If the dog cannot urinate normally, there will be great hidden dangers. If he does not urinate for 48 hours, it will cause uremia.

3. Sudden death
If The injury occurs very close to the head, such as the first and second sections of the cervical spine. In severe cases, it can damage the brain stem, affect heartbeat and breathing, and cause sudden death.

What if the dog has been trained, consciously or unconsciously, to stand frequently?

If we find that it has these bad behaviors, such as standing, we need to correct it in time or treat it coldly. There is no reward for ignoring it! No words of praise! No surprised looks!

It should also be noted that many dogs do not walk upright like the dogs in the video. Most of them stand up and circle around their owner's legs for a long time. This is actually the same thing to avoid. You must not give rewards when bad behavior occurs!

If you see a dog walking upright around you, don’t clap your hands or reward this behavior, otherwise it will only make more and more dogs suffer! Let the dog behave the way a dog should.

Perhaps many pet owners have just started raising pets and do not understand many aspects. As the saying goes, "He who does not know is not guilty." It doesn't matter, we will learn slowly, as long as you have a heart that truly loves it.
