Dog behaviors always have a plausible explanation.
If the behavior of certain dogs is sometimes inexplicable vis-à-vis humans, scientific studies have provided some very interesting answers.
You have probably already had to deal with a dog that showed violent or aggressive behavior towards another person, and sometimes for no reason. Animal instinct is sometimes inexplicable, and even their owners do not know how to define such behaviors. The case of an American family, told by Discover, is quite challenging. A man says that, when he was 12, his dog got upset when the neighbor approached them in front of their house. The man was smiling, however, but had to take refuge behind the door and leave the property.
A much more developed sense of smell
The family finally learned, a few weeks later, that the neighbor in question had been arrested on ten counts of child molestation. The family dog had therefore sensed something strange at home. Through studies, scientists are beginning to understand the behavior of certain dogs. Because it is well known, the sense of smell of a dog is much more developed than that of humans. If the latter have about 5 to 6 million olfactory receptors, dogs have 220 million, or 36 times more. Not to mention that some races even have 300 million.
Associate smells with behaviors
An animal behaviorist studied the behavior of a dog in the presence of visitors, and among them, those who were the most bitten. Originally, no element made it possible to differentiate them. Only certain smells brought them together. They had, for example, all eaten pizza a few hours before. However, a pizza delivery man had kicked a puppy, which created a reaction on the dog of defense and attack.
