3. Sustained eye contact

Have you ever had someone stare at you for ages? Makes you feel uncomfortable, right? Well, your dog hates it when you sustain eye contact with them for too long. This is because, for dogs, eye contact can be a prelude to aggression. By staring lovingly at them, you’re actually making your dog feel threatened and unsafe in their own home. Keep eye contact to a minimum and use touch, play, and rewards to show affection.
