Why does a dog remain motionless after being pinched by the back of the neck? Hidden behind these
I don’t know if pet owners have noticed, but every time you pinch the back of the dog’s neck, you will find that the dog will remain motionless. Why does this happen to dogs? In fact, these are hidden behind the scenes!

Dog: So high, so scary
Pet owners should all know that dogs are very afraid of staying in high places. Every time they stay in high places, they dare not move for fear of falling and getting hurt.
When the pet owner picks up the dog by the back of its neck, it will reach a certain height, which makes the dog feel scared, so it does not dare to move!

Dog: My belly is exposed, which is very dangerous.
For dogs, the belly is the most vulnerable part. Once exposed, they are afraid of being attacked by natural enemies and losing their lives. Therefore, in many cases, dogs will hide their belly.
When a dog is pinched and its neck is raised, its belly will be exposed, which makes the dog feel insecure, so the dog will tense up and remain motionless.

Gouzi: I feel so uncomfortable, please let me go.
When a dog is young, when you pick it up by its neck, it will be too scared to move. However, when a dog grows up, it will remain motionless after being pinched because it feels uncomfortable.
Because the weight of dogs changes as they grow up, if the owner does this again, the dog's neck will not be able to bear its weight, which makes the dog uncomfortable. I hope that its motionless behavior will be tolerated by the owner and put it down as soon as possible.

Gouzi: My mother must have moved me in her mouth.
When the dog was young, the mother dog felt that the place where she was now was not safe, so she would hold the puppy by the scruff of the neck and move it to a safe place. This left the puppy with the memory of being pinched by the scruff of the scruff to move, and not to move around at this time.
Therefore, when the pet owner pinches the back of the dog's neck with his hands, the dog will think that the mother is holding it in its mouth and moving it, so the dog will not resist.

Gouzi: Does the master want to punish me?
Some dogs are very naughty, so after some pet owners make a mistake, they like to pick up the dog by the back of its neck and then teach it a lesson. The more times the dog does it, the dog will know that this is a punishment, and the dog will not dare to move at all.
This method of punishment is relatively dangerous for dogs, so it is not recommended. After the dog makes a mistake, the most important thing is to strengthen training and guidance. It is best to reward the dog with some snacks.
