There are hierarchical divisions in the wolf pack

Although the wildness of the wolf era has become weaker, the blood of dogs still inherits the basic life style of wolves as members of the canine family from generation to generation. Living in the big family of wolves, they move and hunt in wolf pack units. In order for this large group to act in an orderly manner, leadership and discipline are needed.

For this reason, the wolf pack is divided into wolf leaders and wolves who obey orders and are in a lower status. This system is similar to a class system. It is precisely because of the hierarchical system that wolves have a clear hierarchy among each other that they can suppress fights among peers, and everyone works together to hunt efficiently. The strictest hierarchical division in the wolf pack is not a system like human feudal society. . It is generally believed that they each have their own responsibilities and act accordingly.

Dogs will also judge the strength of their owners

Although domestic dogs raised by humans do not live in a group, they have completely inherited the hierarchical habits of the wolf era. From the time when dogs are puppies, brothers and sisters have shown differences in their strengths and weaknesses; when walking, they will also rank each other when meeting nearby dogs. Without hierarchies, dogs can end up fighting with other neighborhood dogs throughout the year.

(Who is the most important in a dog’s heart)

For domestic dogs, because humans are also members of the group, they must also be divided into levels. In most cases, dogs will regard people who are larger and stronger than themselves as the leader, but this is not always the case. The same is true between dogs. Physical fitness is not the only condition for becoming a leader. Just like humans, if there is no strength to lead others, no matter how strong the person is, he will not be recognized as the leader.

Class consciousness in dogs

When did dogs develop class consciousness? This starts from birth. A mother dog can give birth to about 5-6 puppies at a time. During the weaning period of 4-5 weeks after the dog is born, class consciousness will develop among brothers and sisters.
