우리 모두는 반려견을 사랑하며, 사람에게 하듯 소중한 반려동물에게 포옹을 듬뿍 해 주며 애정을 표현하곤 합니다. 이러한 애정 표현에 대한 반려견의 반응을 잠시 멈춰 살펴보는 사람은 많지 않지만, 살펴본다면 대부분의 사람이 개가 입을 핥거나 하품을 하거나 앞발을 들거나 그 밖의 불안 신호를 보인다는 것을 알아차릴 것입니다. 사실 개는 사람처럼 포옹으로 친밀함을 나누는 것을 좋아하지 않으며, 반려견은 따뜻한 포옹을 혼란스럽거나 심지어 위협적인 행동으로 받아들일 가능성이 높습니다.
개가 사람의 포옹을 좋아하지 않는 이유에 대한 간단한 과학적 설명은 한 가지입니다. 개들은 서로 포옹하지 않습니다. 개는 본래 무리 생활을 하는 동물이며, 다른 개가 우리 개의 목에 발을 올리거나 목을 어깨 위로 걸치는 행동은 사회적 위협으로 여겨집니다. 따라서 개는 포옹을 애정 표현으로 인식하지 않고, 자신이 제압당하고 있다고 느낍니다. 개는 핥기, 가까이 있기, 함께 놀기 등의 다른 행동으로 애정을 표현합니다. 그러므로 반려견이 따뜻한 포옹에 화답하지 않더라도, 다른 여러 방식으로 사랑을 표현하고 있을 수 있습니다.
반려견이 포옹을 불편해한다는 신호로는 몸을 경직시키는 것, 꼬리를 내리거나 귀를 뒤로 젖히는 것, 고개를 돌리는 것, 눈을 감거나 크게 뜨는 것, 앞발을 드는 것, 또는 원치 않는 애정 표현에서 벗어나거나 피하려 하는 것 등이 있습니다. 포옹은 반려견에게 혼란스러울 수 있으므로, 입을 핥거나 하품하는 등의 전위 행동을 보일 수도 있습니다. 애정 표현을 받을 때 반려동물이 이러한 행동 중 하나라도 보인다면 불편하다는 분명한 신호이므로 멈춰야 합니다. 특히 아이가 흥분하거나 소리를 지르면서 포옹하려 할 때, 개는 아이를 물려고 할 수 있습니다. 일부 개는 신뢰하는 보호자의 포옹을 좋아할 수도 있지만, 낯선 사람의 포옹은 등골을 오싹하게 만들 수 있습니다. 반려견의 기분을 가장 잘 아는 방법은 행동과 상황에 대한 반응을 관찰하는 것입니다.
포옹을 받는 것은 반려견에게 혼란스러울 수 있습니다. 가장 신뢰하는 사람이 왜 자신을 위협적인 포옹으로 꽉 붙잡는지 이해하기 어렵기 때문입니다. 대신 보호자는 사람과 개 모두에게 자연스럽게 전달되는 방식으로 반려견에게 애정을 듬뿍 표현해야 합니다. 사람처럼 개도 사랑하는 존재 곁에 있는 것을 좋아하므로, 반려동물이 소파에서 옆에 앉거나 무릎 위에 앉도록 해 주세요. 좋아하는 장난감으로 놀기, 가까운 공원 방문, 부드러운 빗질처럼 둘 다 즐길 수 있는 활동을 함께하세요. 반려견에게 충분히 쓰다듬어 주면 유대감이 더욱 깊어질 것입니다. 답례로 침이 묻은 몇 번의 키스를 받는다면, 반려견도 같은 마음이라는 것을 알 수 있을 것입니다.

both my dogs are huggers, my boxer wil lcome and shove his nose under my arm until I give him a big and my shar-pei will actually gently rise up on his back legs and hug me. I know for some dogs this is a threat but dogs now a days are less apack animal and more the child

Bullshit! Dogs love hugs
Jo
SOME dogs love hugs - I have one that will NOT allow you to put your arms around her, she will bolt - but affectionate in loads of other ways. I find one arm around them & rub their chest is liked far more than a two armed hug. Each are different, each have their own likes & dislikes.
Kathy
I call bullshit on this on, too!!! My dogs and cat love to be hugged and cuddled.
Chase Sheridan
I fear the author of this article has only dealt with emotionally compromised dogs, because every dog I've ever met in over 50 years, has delighted in being hugged, and most will seek out hugs...
Susan
No dogs don't like hugs! It is not natural to them, maybe yours have learned to like them??
Jean Brewer
Some dogs like it really well and some dogs don't. Just like with people, they have their own personalities. Out of my 6 dachshunds, 4 liked it, 2 didn't. I'm guilty, I would still hug those two every now and then quickly. (-;
Hilarie
LOLOLOL!!! My thoughts too ;)
Collette
Two of mine lke hugs and snuggling any time they can get it. Tori puts her paws around our neck and gives kisses. Bonnie is too busy.... But at night he is a snuggler. Not every dog likes that, some do to a certain degree and some live for the close affection. Every dog is different.
Anna Zink
My dogs were rescues, and not only like hugs, they actively ask for them. My girl dog barks at me until I hug her. The boy climbs onto my lap, flips over until he is resting on my shoulder, and sighs contentedly. Any dog I have ever had sought hugs, and one of them actually hugged people, including the vets who had saved her life. Maybe it has something to do with having been pound puppies. Also, I have always let the pets initiate the hugs. Animals really appreciate having been rescued.
Karen Baxter
I believe if a dog really trusts and knows you they can be quite comfortable with all physical interactions. Just like they can with each other if they know and trust the other dog. My dogs wrestle and pin each other down in play just as a litter of pups would but if a dog they didn't know tried that wouldn't go well. I thinking hugging is the same. Its a trust thing.
Dorothy Ebers
This is complete and total stupidity and BS !!! Aand it is also upsetting to think some people really think this !!!!!! i see our dogs hug each other--they will sleep close in an embraced manner- we have some that hug us ! they love being hugged and held and loved ! So if you treat your animal so sterile-- hate to see how you want us to treat children next !! I own Siberian huskies,Australian Shepherds and have a Siberian/Timber wolf mix !! they ALL love to be hugged and demand it with their actions ! I will continue to hug and love on my dogs ALWAYS !!!!!
lara
I think the article is using the term 'hug' just to mean an embrace that threatens to pin the animal with your closeness -- though there are all kinds of ways to hug as everyone points out. Our dogs all seek snuggles and belly rubs and kisses now -- but when they were young and new to us they would sort of punch and kick out if they were lying on their backs and we tried to 'smother/hug' them! Now that they trust us they LOVE being smooshed and kissed on! It helps if you giggle and use a happy voice whenever you romp with a new pet -- they can tell by your voice/tone that it's all in fun.
Shelley
I have a mini dashund who loves hugs and loves to cuddle, and a shih-tsu who doesn't, he does cuddle on his terms-he has to come to me! I think it depends on the dog! LOL!!
james perri
This is completely bullshit, my dog love(d) to be hugged. She would kiss my in return.
Beverly
Now this is just CRAP!!!!!! Obviously this writer/s is not an animal person. Please go and do something a little more intelligent..........
Jo.
We have 2 dogs, Toy Poodle & Maltese. Our Maltese loves tummy rubs & having me romp with him but doesn't like to be picked up. He doesn't mind a little hug as long as he's standing on his own feet but isn't cuddly & prefers his own bed. Poodle loves to be hugged, cuddled, kissed & sleep snuggled up to me. Just like humans they have different personality's.
Jo.
I'm 70 yrs. old & had dogs all my life. Just like us they have different personality's. Some love to be hugged, kissed & cuddled, some don't. They aren't all alike any more than we are.
Jodi's Mom
My dog loves my hugs; I'm her alpha-mommy.

I believe the author is talking about a close embrace with the dog not a rub on the back. My wife continues to try and hug her dog only to have her gulp and occasionally growl at her. I am waiting for the worst to happen eventually and then one of them are going down the road.
Gerry K
Bad for me or not!
It will be a cold day in Hell before I stop hugging dogs!
Ed Bailey
They would probably rather get sniffed or licked as they do with other dogs.
Pablo
What? Who wrote this article and how did he/she come up with this nonsense? Unbelievable? Garbage!
STUART
we have bichon/shitz and he loves his hugs has soon has I get home he in my arms suggling this is complete bull shit and and who ever wrote this should hav a dog
Klaus's Dad
Complete, unadulterated BULLSHIT. Author must be a self-proclaimed dog-whisperer who has mistaken her cat for a dog, an over-zealous animal activist who hasn't pooped in over two years, or a democrat.
Anita
I think they have dogs and cats mixed up. Some dogs don't like hugs, but more dogs like hugs than do cats. Our 3 cats, when hugged, climb out of the grip, and up on to the shoulder, where they perch like a parrot. Or, alternatively, they will climb down the back, sometimes with claws (ouch).
leena
They sure are huggers, my liltte dog puts his head over my shoulder and i wake up with his head on my chest
Dee
We had a lab for 16 years, he was very smart and affectionate but didn't love to be hugged. Looking back, seems he may have been tolerating our hugs. Lol. Thanks for the article, explains why some dogs just simply dont care for hugs.
Bon Bon
Dogs are always going to love your hugs. And they are going to love your loving care for them but they will always love your heart and soul so who ever wrote this is is what to the author you are loco and you are just bull butt pee pee
Dougie Fresh
Your dog is trying to kill you... RUN!!!

Have had 5 golden retrievers in 40 years. .all huggers.
don Chorizo
My JRT, whom I adopted when she was three months of age is an ok hugger but prefers a massage to her neck and back.
My other dog (terrier mix) was adopted from a shelter and seldomly allows many people near him, let alone give a hug.
As other people have posted in their respective comment it all depends on the dog and its upbringing.

I do have a Chocolate lab who does not like to be hugged she will accually growl, not bite never has ever, not show teeth either just a low growl. Another lab of mine will turn his head. But I do have tow other labs and a GSD who all three like it.
