Why do we pat some animals on the bottom when we praise them?
Hi,
You see and hear it ^^ again and again. If, for example, a horse has done something great or right, you pat its bottom or neck and praise it. But why do you do that? Why don't you just stroke it, or better yet, give it a pat? 😀
Thanks for your answers and kind regards 🙂
I don’t know that at all. I only knock on the Po if I want to make the animal aware of me, a horse, if necessary, so that it moves away – or to the side. I only know knocking as praise for horses on my neck. And this is such a sign language that you taught the horse. It knows from experience that the person who knocks it on his neck is happy with him, and that is often associated with rest or evening.
This is modern now that you want to transfer your gesture to the others and therefore the Internet is full of “please never knock a horse”.
I am not a friend of the kisses left, kisses right, welcome – but confessed, if it is authentic, it is not unpleasant. Just like a hug to welcome. Among friends who are honestly happy to see each other, it’s nothing wrong for me. I don’t have such good contact with someone, and he’s making this habit, it’s stupid.
Every gesture must correspond to the type of man from which she comes and reflects his emotion, then she can be considered a nice, sweet, praiseful, friendly, cucumberous, funny, … (I deliberately throw a relationship and statement through each other because one does not feel analytically) and has an unmistakable statement.
This aspect is even more interesting for communication with the horse, because there is still lack of language understanding, the mimics and gestures are therefore more difficult. A horse that has a person who rather knocks on his shoulder – or at a time sitting next to him friendly on his leg – when he caresses other people friendly, it becomes a kind of “shoulder knocking” – just where it is offered, more rejoice than the forced petting, because it is possible to read everywhere on the Internet, you cannot knock the horses. My horse is totally sceptical at strokes. It was already when I met it, so it is not the influence of my being. He feels weird. Kraulen yes, when it aches, knocking people lie more than caressing, you realize very clearly what he thinks.
Thanks for the info and yes, that with the kiss left, kiss right, where it is best to be harassed otherwise, as soon as you leave the room, I can’t suffer either. =D
However, I don’t like knocking on my shoulder. ^^ In the case of men who embrace themselves, but fear is emotional, it is often seen.
I didn’t even know that knocking on horses was so bad. The question came to me just spontaneously because I didn’t really understand the meaning behind it. ^^
Yes, yes. If it happens to you today in a riding stable, where there is only one who sees it differently, you will be talking about what you are doing to your animal.
I think it’s funny, but that’s not a hit. ^
I used to knock my sister’s horse on my shoulder. In dogs at the front of the belly.
Po, too.
And why?
I liked the most.
So I’ve never heard of the Po before. But I praise the horse on my neck when riding too. The horse understands that it is praised. But from the ground or in cats, dogs, I’d rather crawl.
I’ve never done it.
A horse has got strings with laid fingers for praise, so half a fist on his neck. I can only achieve the stubborn butt when I sit on it ^^
My dogs have also got a line around the neck, or an eye-catcher, rather than an ass on the flank.
I don’t have a cat, but all I’ve got to do with, like, as a confirmation, the claw in the head area.
Regardless of whether the knock is pleasant for the animals: As always, a lot is humanized in animals. And in humans, it is a praise to knock him on his shoulder when he did something good.
It’s probably what you want to do with the animals.
That’s it. And since horses are quite “language gifted”, they understand this gesture quickly. But not on the Po.
It’s just idiots. Animals are of course not knocked! That’s all but pleasant. Let yourself be knocked by someone, then you notice very quickly that strokes feel much better;)
That’s why I asked myself this question. 😉
I just don’t understand the meaning behind it. ^^
No one. People simply think that animals feel differently than humans
Oh, a friendly shoulder knock I like to take on 😉
More important than the “type” of the gesture is how to bring it over. It must be real to reflect the emotion you feel. A nice tickle to which you notice “he, that was great” is much more pleasant than a prank because you do that, but without real emotion behind it, because the emotion would rather correspond to the tickle.
because people are so used to it
hello hyena
This is a way of behavior that is really common in horse-like living beings.
Horses are not cuddly animals
This has something to do with the body building of the animals. Similar to the shoulder of man. Not like a cat or you knock your cat? 😁😂
The knocking isn’t knocked. xD
But I just think it’s funny. Why don’t you just stroke or gray? 😀
The knock is completely stupid. Horses like to be praised or crammed or verbally.
