1. They’re showing aggressiveness

It’s important to remember that puppy eyes are not the only glance in the canine vocabulary. If the dog is very stiff and still, it’s best to avoid maintaining eye contact with them and to give them space to settle down. Aggressive stares will usually come up in interactions with unfamiliar dogs or people, rather than with owners. But it’s always best to keep an eye out on body language and make sure to keep away if the signs point to a fearful or worried dog.

IS IT BAD IF MY DOG STARES AT ME?

The majority of the time, the answer to this question is NO. However, you should definitely keep an eye out for any long, aggressive stares, or any aggressives tendencies that may become present along with the staring. 

Dogs use their eyes to express emotion (both positive and negative), so stay vigilant for signs that could indicate the dog is upset with you, or it’s current situation. 

For example, if the dog begins to stiffen up, and give you a hard stare (especially with older or stray dogs), then they are likely upset, and ready to act out aggressively. 

Conclusion

Well, now you know the next time you feel the glare of the stare from your pup. Usually its just adorable, normal dog behavior (except for the aggression). If you want to learn more about reading your dog’s signs and getting your dog to listen,
