Reach for the moon!

quote:

I leaned over and said to her: "You really shouldn't hug a dog. They don't like it and it raises their stress level."

The girl looked at me with an expression of disbelief and said, "I'm studying developmental psychology and there's lots of evidence which says that hugging is important and pleasant. When a mother hugs her child the child gets a surge of the hormone oxytocin and so does the mother, and that hormone is associated with loving and bonding. There is evidence that says that if parents don't hug and touch their child a lot, that child can grow up to be emotionally stunted. So how can you tell me that hugging isn't good for dogs, especially for a puppy?"

First off: Yes I am sure this happened.

Second: RIP hugging dogs, replaced by even more petting

That's stupid on its face, but it helps that his methodology, if you could call it that, is transparently garbage:

quote:

I decided to look at a random sample of 250 such pictures...

Even if it were possible to objectively judge a dog's emotional state by its facial expression in a still photograph (lol), he completely misses what's actually causing the dogs' discomfort: the loving camera! Dogs love cuddling! They don't like it when their owner covers his face with a camera! Jesus Christ what a goddamn retard.

I have known dogs that sometimes get a little freaked out if you hug them the wrong way just from the "lumbering large body trying to envelope and pin me down" aspect.

That being said, psychology today is woo woo pseudoscience bullshit not an actual academic journal. Also if a dog doesn't like it they will give a little growl saying "OK buddy I want some space." Otherwise, hug and pette all dogs jeeze this isn't rocket science.

The state of psychology, psychiatry, and sociology in general is woo woo pseudoscience bullshit but I don't want to get into it. All I'll say is that if the result of a "social science" study is completely counterintuitive, you should ignore it because the methodology is guaranteed crap. If it's so intuitive like "I knew this all along!" then you should still ignore it because you're being pandered to and the methodology is still crap. Psych studies exist to manufacture headlines for ideologically sympathetic periodicals.

Makes perfect sense if you try to a hug a dog that doesn't know you but if you come home and your dog is making GBS threads itself excited and trying press itself into you as much as it can then the idea it would somehow suddenly get freaked out when you hugged it is just dumb.

I did a study on whether dogs like hugs or not. Result inconclusive; insufficient hugs.

If your dog is pressing on you hard at the door you haven't trained your dog well. They should always give you space to come in and get situated first. You should be ignoring the dog the moment you walk in the door until you're ready to give them back all the attention they deserve.

Letting them maul you at the door actually leads to increased anxiety and separation issues. When your departure and return become routine non-exciting events, they're much more chill when you're gone.

When I get home I don't say a word to my roommate's dogs or Dakota. I just let them out of kennels if they're in them or if not just walk to the back door. They calmly follow and sit, we go do our business, then once we get back inside we go apeshit for a few minutes.

Didn't mean to spark any sort of debate or discussion on the matter. Just thought it was ridiculous slow news day type thing

That said I disagree with the above. That's definitely applicable to crate training and what you should be doing, especially initially. And while you can argue your home is one big crate. Yeah whatever I'm not going to argue I just disagree with that outside of crate training. Seeing that little pot of gold run out the door when I get home ecstatic with love is what I take solace in with life.

My dog barrels around like a moron for a few circuits of the downstairs then runs upstairs to wait for me to do the pets.
