Some dog owners' habits can irritate their pets, but people don't realize it.

You should carefully monitor the dog's behavior and mood to understand this. You just need to be prepared in advance for the fact that some actions can cause stress or aggression.

Here are three common human habits that dogs don't take kindly to.

Look into the eyes for a long time

When a dog closely watches a person, it studies his habits, behavior, mood.

But you shouldn’t do this in response, as your pet may perceive this as a threat, which may even cause aggression in the dog.

You can watch the dog for a few seconds, but your gaze should be kind.

Hugging a dog

Dogs do not like such tenderness and even protest, perceiving the gesture as being held by force.

But if the puppy asks to be held, that's normal. If the dog starts wriggling after being hugged, it's best not to hold it.

Yelling at a dog

Dogs do not like noise and unpredictable actions.

Talking loudly in the presence of a dog in raised tones makes the dog wary. The animal will control the voice and gestures of the person, may shrink, become wary, hide.
