Have you found that the puppy always provokes the big dog, and the big dog avoids the puppy instead of going up to beat the puppy? It's that the big dog is cowardly?
It is not. This is an unspoken rule in the dog world. When a puppy provokes a big dog, the big dog always avoids that. They are not cowardly it's because of the following reasons.

REASON 1: The temperament of big dogs is more stable

Why does the puppy provoke the big dog, and the big dog always avoids that? They are not cowardly, because the big dogs have a more stable temperament, and they are indifferent to many things.

When many big dogs are bred, people consider the aspect of character shaping, because big dogs are bigger and have stronger fighting power, then at the genetic level, people will prefer big dogs to be gentle and stable genes, so that they are more kind and easy to train, just like great pyrenes, great Danes, these large dogs are very gentle.

So when the puppy provokes the big dog, the big dog always avoids that, instead of stepping forward to beat the puppy, this is all because of the gentle and stable personality of the big dog.

REASON 2: Big dogs are stronger in fighting, and they disdain fighting with puppies.

The big reason why the big dog is so calm when facing the provocation of the puppy is that the big dog knows their strength. It can be injured or even killed them.

If a big dog fights with a puppy, just like an adult hitting a child. If a big dog wants to fight a puppy, the puppy must be helpless, so the big dog does not bother to fight with the puppy. When the puppy provokes them, they will go away, they are not cowardly.

REASON 3: The big dog thinks he is strong and has a sense of protecting the weak from the puppy.

When the big dog faces the provocation of the puppy, they always avoid that, not because it is cowardly, but because it is an unspoken rule in the dog world.

As we all know, dogs are social animals. When their ancestors lived in the wild, they would choose a dog with strong fighting power as the leader, and the leader had the obligation to protect his group and the weak. Even if dogs are kept in captivity by humans right now, they still retain this kind of thinking.

In the heart of the big dog, they feel that they are strong, so they have a sense of protecting the weak for the puppy, so when faced with the provocation of the puppy, they will ignore that.

REASON 4:  Encountered more times, they become indifferent

The big dog always encounters provocations from the puppy. At first, maybe the big dog thinks the puppy is unreasonable, so they will be aggressive with the puppy and warn him not to provoke him again.

But gradually, as the number of encounters increases, the big dog will find that the puppy is actually putting on airs, and the mentality of the big dog will gradually change at this time, thinking that the puppy is simply entertaining themself, and even feels that the puppy Such behavior of a dog is a "clown", so the next time you see they provoking you, you will just go away silently and don't bother to care about it.

REASON 5: The owner trains a lot, and the big dog will not cause trouble

Nowadays, many pet owners who raise dogs are relatively civilized. Pet owners know that their big dogs look scary, so they will train the big dogs and always take a leash when they are out.

Therefore, big dogs are more general. Once the big dog shows a fierce expression or sign, the owner will warn them. After many times, the big dog will form a conditioned reflex. they will be very quiet and will not cause trouble for the owner.

In this way, many disputes can be avoided, and passers-by will not have too many opinions about the dog. Therefore, it is recommended that no matter whether you have a big dog or a puppy, pet owners should train their dogs well to make them more social. Only in this way can we better integrate into our lives and not be rejected by others.
