Yes, my dog kept barking in the middle of the night. Then my dad couldn’t stand it anymore. He first taught it affectionately and rationally, but then he couldn’t get the stick and beat it twice. He ran away from home and went to live with my second aunt. My second aunt’s house is very close to my home. It passes by my door every day, sits for a while, and runs away as soon as my dad comes out. It does this every day for more than half a month. Later, my dad brought the chicken legs to invite it back, and it forgave me. dad.

Seemingly vindictive. The dog got into trouble, and after I taught him a lesson, I found a piece of dog poop on the coffee table at home the next day…

Yes, I got angry and hit it once before, and then in the middle of the night I heard it grabbing my schoolbag. Later, when I hit him again, he became more and more aggressive, until finally, he really ignored me.
Will a dog hold a grudge after being beaten by its owner?
Judging from the experiences of netizens, dogs really do hold grudges after being beaten.
But if it is a small matter, as long as the owner coaxes it well, the dog can forgive the owner. But if the dog is violently used for a long time, the dog will always hold a grudge and even look for opportunities to retaliate against you.

Have you ever beaten a dog? In fact, 99% of dog owners have beaten their dogs. The main reason is that the dog is disobedient, and the scavengers take action. But you will find that no matter how cruel you are to your dog, it will never hold grudges or complain. Of course, the beating I am referring to is not beating to death. That is called “dog abuse”. This kind of behavior is heinous. So why can dogs still reconcile with their owners after being beaten? What does a dog think when it is beaten by its owner?
There is an old Chinese saying, “Dogs don’t despise the family’s poverty.” may explain this problem. It means that no matter what your family background is, the dog you raise will never despise you. Even if it can’t fill its stomach, it will still stick to you. Is it because dogs have low IQ? It’s not low either. Dogs can be used as military dogs and police dogs. They are even smarter than children of two or three years old. So in theory, when a dog is spanked, he should think: What did I do wrong? Why did you hit me? I can just change it, please stop fighting. This is also the view of netizens. Some netizens said: “Maybe it was the same as when I was beaten when I was a child. First I felt guilty, and finally I just wanted to find a way not to make the same mistake next time.”
But is it really so? In fact, dogs have no logic, they don’t think like this at all. It will not connect the cause and effect of things. If you beat it now and hurt it, it is a “sudden” event for the dog, and it has no connection with its previous housebreaking and urinating everywhere. Many poop scrapers go to great lengths to get their dogs to change their habit of eating poop, complaining that they have a stupid dog. In fact, this is not the case. The fundamental reason is that dogs do not have logical thinking. Even if it thinks that it will be beaten for urinating everywhere, it will not change this habit and will only poop out and eat it secretly.
The behavior and habits of dogs are very different from those of humans, but we always use the same method of educating humans to train a dog, which is a bit completely opposite. The best training method is to give rewards. Dogs are loyal to their owners. To put it bluntly, they are loyal to their own belly. For example, every time your dog goes out to relieve himself, reward him with a snack. Over time, he will think that as long as he goes out to relieve himself, he will get something delicious, and he will naturally develop a habit. Therefore, when a dog is beaten by its owner, it has no logical thinking. If you change the method, the dog will be better trained.

How to tell if a dog has a grudge?

Some owners may not know what will happen if their dog holds a grudge. This is actually very simple.
If your dog suddenly urinates at home and always comes to you to provoke you after peeing and urinating, it means that the dog has a grudge and is retaliating in kind.
Secondly, you are not allowed to touch it. The dog itself likes the owner’s touch, but after holding a grudge, the dog is unwilling to show its vulnerable parts in front of you, let alone be touched by you.
Finally, if the dog holds a grudge, it will not want to get close to you anymore. In serious cases, it will even grin at you and treat you like a class enemy. This means that the dog really does not want to forgive you.

How to coax a dog back?

If you just punish the dog a little, you can still coax the dog back. The best way to coax a dog back is to tempt it with food. After all, dogs are foodies.
You can praise your dog more often, and then take some snacks or toys for the dog to play with, letting the dog know that you are coaxing it. If the dog is not very angry, he will soon forgive you.
