Why are rural dogs afraid of people?

Dog culture in rural areas is different from that in cities. Most people in rural areas do not attach importance to raising dogs. Many rural dogs are not maintained, grow up alone, lack interpersonal communication, and can't adapt to human social environment, which leads to rural dogs being afraid of people.

In addition, the attitude of rural people towards dogs is often unfriendly, and dogs are abused or even killed, which makes rural dogs more distrustful and fearful of people.

2, the influence of human behavior

Rural people and urban people have different living habits. Rural people often whistle or throw stones to drive away the idle dogs in the village. Because dogs have sensitive hearing, these sounds will make dogs feel scared and hostile to humans, which will lead to dogs in rural areas being afraid of people.

In addition, the lifestyle of rural people is not standardized, and they dump garbage outside at will. These rubbish contain all kinds of food, which is very easy to attract dogs to feed. When people in rural areas deal with garbage, they often want to drive dogs away, and dogs will feel that human beings have hurt them, causing them to panic and deepen distrust and hostility.

3. Impact of disease transmission

There is a lack of standardized vaccination system and health management system in rural areas, and dogs are prone to various infectious diseases. These diseases are more likely to affect people's health. Therefore, in order to protect themselves, many rural people will avoid dogs and even try their best to drive them away.

4. Genetic influence

The dog's personality is related to the breed, and some genes may affect their relationship with people. Toy dogs such as poodles are docile and easy to get close to people. However, some wild breeds, such as hounds, sheepdogs and bulldogs, are naturally independent and disobedient, and it is not easy to build trust with people. If these wild breeds are the main dog breeds in rural areas, then these dogs are more hostile to people and will naturally be afraid of people.

In a word, why rural dogs are afraid of people is the result of many factors. Rural people should understand the dog's habits and awareness of protection, drive or communicate appropriately, and establish a good interactive relationship with dogs from the perspective of people. For rural dogs, we should also pay more attention to them and adopt scientific methods to cultivate and educate them so that they can gradually integrate into human society.
