If you are a dog owner, there is a good chance that you will feel your pet's gaze on you from time to time.
Why do dogs follow people? According to experts studying dog behavior, there are at least 4 reasons for this.
The pet wants something
If your dog starts staring at you when it's time for dinner or a walk and you're still relaxing on the couch, he's probably trying to get your attention.
This reason, by the way, is the most common.
Dog expresses affection
Our four-legged friends use a variety of ways to show their affection. One of these methods is staring. So, if your pet stares at you, he may be trying to say, “I love you.”
The dog is showing aggression
Sometimes the reason for the stare is the aggressive mood of the animal. This is also indicated by the body language: dilated pupils and a twisted grin of the dog, which is complemented by rigidity, ears tilted forward and a raised tail.
When your dog's brow is furrowed, it's likely that he's looking aggressively. Growling is another surefire indicator of an aggressive look.
The animal is looking for direction
Your dog may be staring at you because he is waiting for instructions. Some owners even train their pet to look back every time he needs instructions.
