Some people complain that all or almost all dogs they meet on their way bark at them.

It's one thing when only some dogs show a negative reaction. This can be explained by the peculiarities of their character.

But when loud barking is heard from almost every dog nearby, then the problem, apparently, is in the person himself.

Perhaps animals react to certain features of a passerby's appearance or gait.

What kind of people do dogs bark at?

Of course, dogs will react negatively to people they consider dangerous.

And we are not only talking about those passers-by who actually threaten the dog or its owner.

Animals can be frightened by completely harmless people who look unusual to the pet.

For example, a dog may become nervous if it sees a passerby whose face is partially covered by something (such as sunglasses or a beard).

A dog may be afraid of a very tall person.

A loud voice and strange gait of a passerby can also make a dog bark.

It is possible that an animal will sense danger from a person who emits a strong odor (for example, perfume or deodorant).

Analyze your appearance and gait, remember what perfumes and cosmetics you use. Perhaps after this you will find the answer to the question: "Why do all the dogs bark at me?"
