I believe that many dog ​​owners have encountered dogs riding astride. Most people generally think that the dog is in heat, secretly make a plan to sterilize the dog, and ignore them. But does riding astride a dog only express being in estrus? Let’s take a look at it together~

Dogs riding astride have the meaning of declaring their status to their owners, and riding astride means showing surrender. When a dog mounts its owner, the owner needs to drive the dog away, otherwise the dog will think that the owner has surrendered.

also has the meaning of hoping to attract the attention of the owner, and to hope that the owner will play with him. When a dog mounts its owner, the owner needs to observe whether the dog is too lonely and needs to play with the dog.

There is also the dog's possessiveness towards objects, so he makes straddle movements to let things be contaminated with his scent. This also shows that the dog likes the owner very much and relies on the owner very much.
