If you feel like your dogs are barking at you too often, chances are it's not the dogs that are causing the barking.

We'll tell you why dogs bark at some people more often than at others.

Why Dogs May Bark at You

Firstly, dogs can become aggressive towards people because of the smell.

A dog that you don't know may be offended by the smell of your dog, cat or other pet, hygiene products, etc.

Dogs especially don't like the smell of alcohol, so they often bark at drunk people.

Dogs also don't like provocative behavior. If you tend to speak loudly and gesticulate actively, dogs may perceive your behavior as threatening.

A dog will also bark at you if you are afraid. When you are afraid, your heart rate increases, sweating increases, and adrenaline is produced, and dogs sense this.

You also risk being barked at if you violate the boundaries of the territory that the dog considers its own.

If you see a stray dog on the street, try to walk 10-15 meters away from it.
