13.It may come as a shock to owners,but dogs hate being hugged,a study has shown.Animal psychologists say dogs feel stressed and unhappy when they are hugged by their owners,because it stops them being able to run away.
In a study which analysed 25 pictures of dogs as they were being hugged,eight out of 10animals looked clearly uncomfortable.
Experts at The Kennel Club,and Battersea Dogs & Cats Home,also agreed that owners should not treat their dogs like children,because most pets did not like to be hugged.
The new study was carried out by Dr Stanley Coren,a professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia.He analysed images of dogs being hugged by adults and children he found on the Internet,looking for signs of stress.
At an extreme end,when a dog is especially anxious it shows its teeth or may bite,but Dr Coren said there are other signs that it may be uncomfortable but they are small and not obvious.
Signs of stress include the dog folding its ears down,half-moon eyes or turning its head away to avoid eye contact.If the dog has its eyes closed,it could also be a sign of anxiety.Open its mouth or raising one paw is another warning sign.
"The clear suggestion to come out of this research is to save your hugs for your two-footed family members and lovers.
"It is clearly better from the dog's point of view if you express your fondness for your pet with a pat,a kind word,and maybe a treat.
"Some people think that giving their dog a hug is a nice thing to do,but the reality is that a family pet will often tolerate a hug but doesn't like it.
"On the whole dogs are sociable animals and love communicating with people,but any action that restricts a dog's movement could make them uncomfortable and it is important for an owner to recognize the signs of stress or anxiety."
