The secrets of your dog’s gaze: Having a dog at home means that we will always be watched by our companion, because he becomes the special security that we cannot afford, but who does the job in exchange for a roof over the above our heads and lots of love.
We’ve probably caught the four-legged member of the family staring at us a few times, but the big question is, what does it mean when my dog stares at me too much? An article from AnimalExpert explains this issue and why – in some cases – your dog may glare at you and look away as if avoiding you.
Find out what it means when a dog holds your gaze
- Your dog is staring at you asking for something.
The main reason dogs maintain such direct and prolonged eye contact with their owners is because they are looking to ask for something they need or want: a treat, a walk in the park, or a cuddle.
If he stares at you when you come back from the street, he needs to walk around for exercise, to interact with other pets and/or to relieve himself. Also, it is important to mention that when a dog stares at its master, he needs attention: a few caresses or prolonged play, especially when his master is busy.
- Your dog is watching you carefully to read your expressions.
Dogs are always attentive to our attitudes, as they use their body language to communicate with their masters and other dogs. In this way, they are able to identify our moods and understand what is happening in the household. Your dog is also staring at you to “read” your emotions and understand your body’s non-verbal message.
If your pet looks at you during a dog training session, it is classified as “excellent” because it pays attention to the commands you give it and – above all – this is of greater value when dealing with a deaf dog. To achieve this goal, we must be 100% sure that our dog is attentive and properly focused on training.
