It is said that puppies are very nostalgic animals, and many classic stories about loyal dogs seen on newspapers and TVs seem to confirm this. But if that is true, I have only left home for one year, why is the puppy so indifferent to us? Could it be that the puppy has poor memory and I was forgotten?

I think that even though we have been separated from each other for many years, the puppy was still from the other party when we met again. Experiments have long confirmed that the smell that puppies smelled during their puppies still remember after two years. During the trial, the trial staff took several two to four-month-old puppies away from their mothers. In two years, the experiment staff completely blocked the contact between the puppy and the dog mother. Little do they know that even if the puppy and the mother of the dog are blocked from touching each other, they will still remember the taste of the other side when they meet again, and even the puppy has been around for about 10 years.

The puppy not only remembers the smell of teammates, but also remembers the taste of people's puppy clearly. Even after leaving for 4 or even 8 years, the puppies still remember the smell of the people who took care of them at that time. If they had dated them before, or were the person or dog they loved, they would always remember it.

When seeing this, many people may feel: even though the puppy still remembers people, why did the puppy ignore us when he returned home? Pay attention, puppy remembers that I may not have a good relationship with puppy. People often see news reports on TV that the owner has left his hometown for many years and has been warmly welcomed by puppies. This situation will occur because the puppy has a strong bond with the owner. In the puppy's heart, the owner has the greatest influence and the most critical. Therefore, even if it is separated for many years, the puppy's love for the owner will not decline. Little do you know that in reality, it is not necessarily that the owner and the puppy have such a strong relationship. You can see from the puppy’s indifferent attitude towards you. I think that puppy is not unfamiliar with you. Just you have always been in the puppy's heart, and it is not considered a person who is related to close contact.

Although from your perspective, you left home because of study and training or work. But in the eyes of the puppy, it means that a person who is both fed, clothing, housing and transportation suddenly leaves home from one day. Even though the puppy can't understand the reason why you left your hometown, it will naturally not easily accommodate you. When you no longer contact the puppy, then the influence you have always had in the puppy’s heart will naturally be less than other people who are facing each other day and night.

If you find that your puppy is indifferent to you after returning home, then you should consider getting along with your puppy again. It can be very good for people and dogs to connect with each other when walking. You can take your puppies out for more time when you go home, play fitness and play balls with them to improve the emotions between them. At that time, I usually do some simple training with puppies, such as sitting, climbing frames or waving hands. Simple training interactive communication can improve the relationship between the puppy and the owner. Perhaps the small snack rewards during training are also very attractive to the puppy. Give your dog snacks during training, which will make your dog feel more about you.

Perhaps, every good relationship must be maintained. If you are willing to maintain a good relationship with your dog after leaving, you must use the opportunity of sometimes meeting your dog and take care of it as carefully as possible and have fun with it. That will not easily lead to embarrassing scenes where the puppy "forgot" you many times when he sees you.
