There are most dog people agree that dogs are awesome. Dogs are always excited to see you, they lick your crumbs up off the floor and there are the ultimate cuddle buddies, but even when dogs are being awesome, they still do things that are downright annoying. Each dog parent will face some of these annoying dog habits.

1. Shedding Everywhere

When you welcomed your furry friend into the family, you knew they were going to shed but piles of fur over and under every surface was not exactly what you had in mind. Of course, you love your baby but sweeping and vacuuming every second of every day does tend to get a tad annoying.

Is it normal? Yes it is. It’s normal to have hair grow, mature and fall out, that’s all part of the normal dog hair lifecycle. However, excess shedding can be an indication of infection or disease that requires veterinary consideration. That is the reason it's essential to decide the ordinary shedding pattern of your dog and monitor it for changes.

2. Chewing on anything and everything

You could go to the pet store and buy your pup the most expensive chew toy around but they won’t care they’d rather chew on the carpet, your shoes, the drapes, garbage bags, your toes.

3. Licking while you are trying to sleep.

You put on your pajamas, turn off the lights, get snuggled under the sheets and prepare to doze off into a blissful sleep and then your dog starts licking himself. You left with one thought, lick yourself in the morning like a normal dog.

Licking that begins as love often gets fortified by an individual's response: snickering, grinning, and so on. Perhaps your dog is exhausted or lonely. There you are and he needs your attention. Indeed, even negative consideration can support licking. This article answers why dogs lick people.

4. Barking for no reason

There are perhaps nothing more startling and annoying than your dog barking out of nowhere and for no apparent reason, may be they heard a noise you didn’t or the wind picked up outside but for you as the human these random barks are both annoying and terrifying especially if it happens in the middle of night.

A few young doggies, in any case, experience serious difficulties adjusting to another home and vocalize their inconvenience. While this is an exceptionally typical conduct in young pups, it is less basic to hear a grown-up or senior dogs barking unnecessary, particularly if the behavior begins with no known trigger.

5. Begging for everything

It really doesn’t matter if you are eating carrots or potato chips if there is food out, your dog wants it. The begging tactics vary from dog to dog but for the most part they include soft whimpering puppy dog eyes and occasionally a paw on the thigh regardless it’s not cute, it’s annoying.

Since most dogs like the similar kinds of foods that we do, it's not amazing that they're attracted to great smells, too.

6. Messy eating and drinking

Some dogs are messy eaters and drinkers; it makes you wonder why you bothered putting it into a bow. In the first place, days later you find yourself picking up Kimmel bits form under the sofa and in a number of other locations that are not even remotely close to the food bowl.

When dogs drink water, dogs hit their tongues on the water effectively to take more water into their mouths. Likewise, a dog's tongue is formed in such an approach to improve the power with which it splashes the water. In this manner, dogs depend on sheer power to intake water.

7. Whining during car rides

Why dogs whine during car rides; we may never understand. They are the ones who begged to go for a car ride in the first place but the second they get in a car and the wheels start turning, they start crying. The real annoying part is they don’t stop until you arrive at your destination even if it’s hours away.

Whining in dogs in the vehicle might be activated by the expectation of something the dog fears or the expectation of something he anticipates doing. Stress can be of any type, it may positive or negative. Your dog may probably have a love or hate association with the car.

8. Overall inappropriate behavior

Sometimes dogs forget their manners and do oddly inappropriate things right out on the open. Whether its butt scooting across the carpet, licking their private parts or humping a visitor’s legs. The lack of decency is both embarrassing and annoying.

Regularly overlooked mental stimulation is required for a dog. Mental exercise can be similarly as tiring as physical; somebody who works at a work area employment can be as worn out toward the day's end as an exterior decorator. Using your dog's every day rations for nourishment improvement exercises or for a touch of training as regularly as you can go far toward tiring your dog mentally.

Hiding your dog's dinner or spreading the meal in the yard can be an enhancement movement. Dogs love to rummage or work for their suppers.

9. Slobbering on everything

Not all dogs slobber but for the dog parents that do own slobbery pups, it’s really annoying. Forget about wearing socks around the house. The chance you’ll step in a big pile of slobber is way too risky. If you want to cuddle you better have a raincoat nearby because you are getting soaked.

10. Leash Pulling

Not all dogs want to follow, some want to lead but that gets really annoying when all you are trying to do is go for a nice walk. Your dog has been for a walk a million times yet for reason they think nearly pulling your arm off if ok but it’s not and it just gets on your nerves.

Dogs pull on the rope since it works – it gets them where they need to go. Dogs are basically hedonists. They do what make them feel good. They are very practical – they do what works.

Living healthy is important in the life of human beings, this is because you will be able to carry out your daily activities and at the same time monitor the upbringing of you loved ones especially children.

 

In the recent past, many people lost their lives at tender ages; this is because they were not able to take of their bodies. When it comes to taking of the body, there are many things that are required though many people will argue that all the body requires if food. This is not the case in the modern world for many people have adapted to programs that are meant to aid the functioning of the body.

17.-Tricky menu at Ecuadorian restaurants

1. The menu at an Ecuadorian restaurant can be a little tricky normally you will read sopa de carne (meat soup) or empanadas de carne (meat empanadas), where if you translate it to English “carne”, means “meat” so in this case, you must assume it is talking about beef, because all the other types of meat are pointed out, for example, sopa de pollo (chicken soup), or fritada de pollo, chancho (pried pork chops or fried chicken chops) .

 

Also, a typical Ecuadorian dish called “Seco de chivo” which chivo translated to English will mean goat, it is wrongly called seco de chivo since it is a stew made with lamb so it is a “Lamb Stew” which will often be in the menu at the many Ecuadorian restaurants since it is a typical Ecuadorian dish.
