What Are The Reasons For Your French Bulldog To Become Annoying?
Probably you did not think that a Frenchie could be an over annoying doggo. But it is not an inherited behavior. Let me be clear with this statement.
Most of the time French bulldogs are not intentionally annoying their owner. They are bred to be more friendly with human companions and as a result, being more clingy is of their nature.
But, during the instances where this clinginess turns to be an annoyance things can be changed and as you are the closest human companion of your Frenchie, you will have to face more challenges. Therefore, you need to stop him from being so annoying in a way that causes distress within you.
Well, in this mission first you have to identify clearly what are the exact reasons for your Frenchie to behave so annoyingly. Let’s dig into the details.
1 . Lack of Enough Exercises
Bulldogs are an energetic breed when compared with the rest of the breeds. Therefore, they need more exercise and activities to release their energy.
But, comparatively a Frenchie requires a small time of exercise and activities such as completing a daily exercise routine. When they are losing that specific routine or minimal physical activity, they might start annoying you in a way you are unable to bear.
2 . ‘I Am Hungry!’
Hunger is one of the fairest enough reasons for your Frenchie to behave annoyingly. It is common with all the other dog breeds as well.
If your Frenchie yawns in the morning like a wolf or is rotating around you with a wagging tail and playing some awkward opera noises, he is hungry and you should take immediate action before he goes crazy like a little beast.
3 . An Environmental/ Routine Change
A recent environment change or a change in your Frenchie’s routine can be a reason for him to be so annoying as it can create an anxious mindset in him.
Frenchies are more sensitive to environmental factors. When you change your home and the area you live in, they can feel it more than anyone else.
4 . An Anxious Condition
If your Frenchie is spending too much time alone, he is more prone to have anxious conditions as Frenchies are born to stay sociable with people.
When you are out of home for the whole day and your Frenchie ball is all alone and bored, separation anxiety can hit him hard. In such situations, he can behave so annoying once you are home and at one stage he will stop reacting at all.
It is the most dangerous phase of your Frenchie striking with separation anxiety or any anxious condition.
5 . A Physical Injury
When your Frenchie is not feeling well or has been injured he tends to communicate it to you being so annoying. You know how your Frenchie becomes a drama queen even when she is a little injured.
In such instances, he can behave so annoyingly to you because he might need to spend quality time with you.
Probably he might be in pain and it can also be a result of an underlying health issue. Better to stay on alert!
Well, it is of utmost importance to identify the reason why your Frenchie friend behaves so annoying, and then only you will be able to continue the mission of making your Frenchie less annoying.
