4. Staring Into Their Eyes
image source: wordpress.com
Sometimes it’s cute to get into a staring contest with your dog, but your dog doesn’t see things the same way as you.
In the animal world a stare down is a sign of aggression. You may be able to get away with it if the dog is your own. However, when encountering an unknown dog it would be wiser not to get into a stare down as this could make the dog feel threatened.
If the dog feels it is in danger, the next thing that could happen is that you will find yourself getting bit.
Don’t stare for too long when you come across a dog you don’t know!

A lot of these are just common sense (which I know is sadly lacking in some folks) but it all depends on the dog. Besides that, being the incredibly intuitive and sensitive creatures that they are, they will adapt to how you express affection. Our dogs will lick our faces off if we let them, and we kiss their little heads in return.

Dogs love car rides, and of course you shouldn’t give them spoiled food!!! Most of these are common sense, but we know dogs have more common sense than most people!!!
