Most pet owners feedback that after raising a dog, personal privacy is impossible, and it is even more impossible to go to the toilet quietly. Where a dog is raised, this is simply a voyeur.
Dog peeping is common.
As long as the owner is there, the dog will always stare at the owner, even go to the toilet and take a bath. A slightly reserved dog usually quietly lies under the crack of the door to watch the owner's movements......
Why peep?
Dog "peeping" the owner to go to the toilet, must be worried about the owner in the toilet to steal? Indeed, combined with the dog's food nature, this explanation is no problem. But the fact may be just because the dog is worried about the owner, so it will stare at the owner, want to protect the owner all the time, that's all.
1 "peeping" is really protection
Poop is one of the most vulnerable times in a dog's life. It must be in a good position to defecate, and because of this, it may not be able to fight or flee immediately if it is in danger. When it smells the "mark" of your poop, it feels the need to be with you, otherwise what if you are attacked when you go to the toilet.
2 "peeping" only for patrol
Any place in the home is protected by dogs, including bathrooms and toilets. Dogs may feel that this area must be patrolled and protected, so you go to the toilet. Patrol is what dogs in the dog group should do, after all, to protect the safety of the dog group.
In the wild, they hunt and forage as a group, and they share and defend their territory as a group. So from a dog's perspective, you never want to go anywhere in that area alone.
Excessive protection worries
A dog is a group animal, and when it is alone, it feels lonely and weak. So no matter where you are at home, the dog wants to act with you. For the dog, it may not understand the issue of privacy, it thinks you need to guard throughout the day.
However, a dog's desire to overprotect is unhealthy and may develop into an overprotective aggressive tendency or patron of territory.
This makes the dog stop watching.
When the owner does not want the dog to peep, it is important to divert the dog's attention at this time. For example, before going to the toilet or taking a bath, please throw the dog's favorite toy to it and let it play for a while, so that it will not harass you all the time!
