Sometimes, pet owners unintentionally do things that annoy their pet dogs. Here are some things that you may have done that got in your dog’s nerves without you realizing it. 

Staring at your dog

For canines, staring is often considered a challenge, especially if the stare comes from an unfamiliar dog. If you have people coming over to your home, always remind them not to stare at your dog’s eyes. People should be aware about this fact and should avoid staring into the eyes of an aggressive or nervous dog.

Hugging your dog

While most dogs may tolerate brief hugs, they may get not like being tightly hugged by kids or strangers. Hugging or grasping each other is not a normal canine behavior of showing affection. In fact, a dog exerts his dominance on another dog by putting his paws on the body of a submissive dog.
