狗狗有嫉妒心理吗?
狗狗有嫉妒心理吗?
Whether it's a new baby or the cute little terrier next door, there's a good chance your dog doesn't want to share your affections with anyone else. And it's not your imagination that he gets jealous when you do. We often wonder if dogs feel complex emotions, but it's a tricky question.
无论是刚出生的婴儿还是隔壁的小猎犬，你的狗狗很有可能不想和任何人分享你的爱。当你这样做的时候，它会嫉妒，这你可能想不到。我们经常想知道狗是否有复杂的情感，但这是一个棘手的问题。

The father of evolution, Charles Darwin, suggested that jealousy might exist in other species besides humans, particularly dogs. "Everyone has seen how jealous a dog is of his master's affection, if lavished on any other creature," he wrote in "The Descent of Man," first published in 1871.
进化论之父查尔斯·达尔文认为，嫉妒可能存在于人类之外的其他物种，尤其是狗。他在1871年首次出版的《人类的起源》一书中写道:“每个人都看到过，一只狗对主人的爱是多么嫉妒，哪怕是对任何其他生物的爱。”
But if you have a dog, you likely think that dogs can get jealous. Have you ever played with another dog around your pup? Or pet a different dog when you we're taking a walk? Heaven forbid you brought home a new puppy or a new baby. Many dogs don't like it when they're not the center of their owner's attention.
但是如果你有一只狗，你可能认为狗会嫉妒。你曾经和另一只狗在你的小狗周围玩耍过吗?或者当我们散步时，你可以宠爱另一只狗?上帝不允许你带一只新的小狗或一个新的婴儿回家。很多狗狗不喜欢自己不是主人关注的焦点。
A few years ago, researchers at the University of California, San Diego found that dogs exhibited jealous behaviors when their owners showed affection toward a stuffed dog that barked, whined and wagged its tail. The dogs snapped and pushed at the robotic dog and sometimes their owners, trying to get between the two.
几年前，加州大学圣地亚哥分校的研究人员发现，当主人对一只吠叫、哀嚎和摇摆尾巴的毛绒狗表现出喜爱时，狗狗会表现出嫉妒行为。这些狗会咬并推机器狗，有时也会推它们的主人，试图夹在两者之间。
Researchers say the aggressive response suggests the dogs believe the stuffed animal was real and an actual rival for their owner's affection.
研究人员称，狗狗们的攻击性反应表明，它们相信毛绒玩具是真的，是主人感情的真正竞争对手。

Your dog might act out when he's trying to get your attention and may be experiencing feelings of jealousy. Keep an eye out for behaviors like these, suggests PetMD.
当你的狗试图引起你的注意时，它可能会表现出嫉妒的情绪。PetMD建议说，要注意这些行为。
Aggression — From slight nibbling to biting, growling to barking, your dog could act more aggressively toward you or the pets that he perceives as rivals.
攻击性——从轻微的咬、咬、咆哮到狂吠，你的狗可能会对你或它认为是对手的宠物表现出更大的攻击性。
Attention — Pets may show more attention to their owners by licking them, cuddling with them or just trying to get more petting.
关注——宠物可能会通过舔主人、拥抱主人或者只是想要得到更多的爱抚来表现出对主人更多的关注。
Accidents — Potty-trained pets may suddenly go to the bathroom indoors to get attention or even to show displeasure.
意外——训练过的宠物可能会突然去室内厕所以引起注意，甚至表现出不快。
Tricks — "Look at me!" your pet is saying, as he shows off by doing tricks to get your focus on him.
把戏—“看我!”你的宠物说，它通过做把戏来炫耀，让你的注意力集中在它身上。
Leaving — If your pet is miffed, she may just leave the room.
离开——如果你的宠物生气了，它可能会离开房间。
If you have more than one pet, be sure to give them equal attention so that one pet doesn't feel slighted. If you feel any behaviors are getting out of control, see a trainer or behaviorist for help.
如果你有不止一只宠物，一定要给予它们同等的关注，这样一只宠物就不会感到被轻视。如果你感觉有任何行为失控，向教练或行为学家寻求帮助。
