Why are wild dogs afraid of people?

Wild dogs are afraid of people for the following three reasons:

1. Dogs are our nature: dogs are born wild animals. They are alert and afraid of strangers. In the natural environment, this characteristic helps to protect dogs from predators. Therefore, even domestic dogs may inherit this vigilance.

2. The influence of past experience: Many wild dogs are afraid of people because the past is related to the bad experience of human beings. For example, being abused, neglected or in danger in the human living environment. These experiences may make dogs distrust human beings and even form a conditioned reflex, which will lead to fear and anxiety when dogs see human beings.

3. Lack of social experience: Lack of social experience can also easily cause wild dogs to fear human beings. If wild dogs didn't come into contact with human beings when they were young, or the human beings they came into contact with were not good to them, then they wouldn't know how to associate with people, or they would be afraid of human beings. In this case, it is necessary to help dogs gradually adapt to human existence and contact through appropriate social training.

In short, there are many reasons why wild dogs are afraid of people, such as nature, past experience and lack of social experience. Understanding these reasons will help us better understand the behavior and emotions of dogs, so as to take appropriate measures to get along with wild dogs and avoid unnecessary conflicts and injuries.
