Many dog owners have long noticed the following: during walks, their pet barks at some people, while ignoring others.

Why does a four-legged friend behave this way?

The answer is simple: the dog perceives passers-by differently. The dog does not consider many people dangerous, so it does not react to them in any way.

At the same time, there are those whom the animal considers a potential source of danger. Which people exactly are we talking about?

Often dogs become anxious when they see a bearded man.

Tall people

A four-legged friend may start to behave aggressively if there is a tall person nearby.

Why don't dogs like tall people? The thing is, they look too unusual for animals: they feel anxious.

People who talk loudly

Dogs are very irritated by loud noises, so try to speak quietly or remain silent when you pass by your dog.

People who look a dog straight in the eye

A direct gaze is perceived by many pets as a serious threat.

Perfume and deodorant lovers

Keep this in mind when using perfume, cologne and deodorant. Too strong a smell may not be to the animal's liking.
