The integration of a battered dog
An animal that has been mistreated needs a routine of schedules, a warm place and kind words from its new owner.
The damage suffered from mistreatment explains why the animal may experience fear of people at first. Re-educating a dog that has been physically or psychologically abused by its previous owner takes time, a lot of caring, and certain efforts to make the pet trust its new family.
Experts say that physical or psychological abuse suffered by a dog can leave deep sequels to the animal. They will be of greater intensity the longer the sad and deplorable situation of abuse lasted.
It is also important to know that the abused dog can relate the sudden gestures with the violence suffered, among other things, because he has disorders in his behavior.
These symptoms of a dog with disorders due to a past of abuse are usually sadness, depression and even certain aggressive behaviors.
It can also happen that a mistreated dog develops certain compulsive behaviors, which he performs repeatedly and for no apparent reason. This is the case of excessive barking, excessive licking in an abnormal way, obsessively chasing your own tail or being obsessed with digging all kinds of surfaces.
