Cómo ayudar a su perro excesivamente sumiso
The key to any good owner-dog relationship rests in the hierarchy of the family pack. Dogs are pack animals and rely upon the guidance of an alpha dog to lead the group. In the absence of a dominant character, your dog may assume this mantle and become aggressive. On the other end of the spectrum, dogs that become too submissive may fall in line and listen, but do so at the cost of emotional health.
Is your dog overly submissive? What are the warning signs you can look for, and more importantly, how can you help your submissive dog regain some confidence? The following tips will help you restore balance in your submissive dog's life and create better emotional stability.
Causes of submissive behavior
Hay numerosos factores que pueden llevar a su perro a ser demasiado sumiso. Podría ser un desencadenante situacional que conduzca a la sumisión, o podría ser un elemento o individuo. El miedo de los extraños es un problema común en los perros sumisos. Esto es más común, pero no es exclusivo de razas de perros más pequeñas. Estas razas son naturalmente tímidas en comparación con otras razas, y que la timidez puede convertirse en sumisión con poco esfuerzo.
Interactions with overly aggressive animals or individuals can also create an extreme state of submission in your dog. Events that trigger this kind of submission include aggressive behavior (growling, showing teeth, etc.) from other dogs or aggressive verbal tones from humans. Physical and verbal abuse from humans can also trigger submission in dogs.
La edad es otro factor en el comportamiento sumiso. Como la edad del perro, no son capaces de reaccionar tan rápidamente a las situaciones. Esto puede conducir a un comportamiento reflejo de la sumisión en un intento de mostrar una actitud no agresiva.
Signs of an overly submissive dog
There are a number of common signs that show a dog has become too submissive. Many of these signs are noticeable in dogs that are submissive, regardless of the root cause. Whether a dog fears a certain situation or has a fear of people because of physical abuse in its past, the warning signs are the same.
Common warning signs of an overly submissive dog include, but are not limited to, the following:
Preventing & coping with submissive behavior
The type of submissive behavior your dog exhibits, and the specific triggers that result in that submission, will determine the course of action you should take to help them cope. For example, a dog with a fear of certain places or situations needs a reward-based approach to cope. Slowly allow your dog to adjust to a new or fearful place by playing with it in that space, offering rewards for good behavior and a playful attitude.
Create personal space in your home to offer your dog a place to call its own. This personal space can serve as a coping mechanism as your dog adjusts to its fears. While it is free to venture out and test the waters around new individuals or other animals, it will know it has its own place in the home to retreat to for relaxation or quiet.
Lo más importante, siempre trabajar para socializar a su perro con otros animales y personas desde una edad temprana. Cuanto más tiempo su perro gasta alrededor de otros, más probable es que no va a desarrollar temores en el primer lugar.
Prevenir el miedo y la sumisión en los perros se basa en la confianza y la confianza. Tómese su tiempo cada día para ayudar a su perro a adaptarse a nuevos entornos, conquistar los miedos y jugar con otros. Esto creará confianza entre usted y su mascota, y le proporcionará la confianza necesaria para enfrentar situaciones y lugares que una vez crearon una sensación de miedo.

Whether a dog fears a certain situation or has a fear of people because of physical abuse in its past, the warning signs are the same.
- Hiding: An overly submissive dog may choose to hide when faced with a frightening situation. Examples of this include hiding behind you when meeting a new dog, or hiding under furniture in the home when strangers enter the house.
- Wetting: A common reaction in many submissive dogs is a loss of bladder control. The fear elicited from a certain situation may lead the dog to lose control of its bladder spontaneously. Additionally, when a situation creates fear in a dog it may urinate somewhere it believes it can hide the deed. This action in itself is an attempt to hide the behavior for fear of retaliation for urinating in the home.
- Body language: Another easily spotted key is body language. Dogs that become too submissive will lower their heads, put their tail between their legs, and/or lie down and try to bury their head as low as possible.
