You wake up in the morning see your dog had an accident in the living room or went through the trashcan, your mood will start to sour. If you try to be mad about it, you will see dog’s tail between its legs, ears pointed down, and eyes avoiding contact. Seeing this, you think the dog understand its mistake, however, this is also a common misconception about dogs. Dogs are doing these not because it knows it made a mistake, but it is uncomfortable with your scent when you are angry and does not want you to look at it in this way. Therefore, it is good to find the exact cause and to improve behavior through education, and not to be outraged.
