Why do dogs ba.rk and bi.te some people but not others? There’s always a reason!

One of the most common reason is that dogs ba.rk because they are experiencing new things. Some less friendly dogs will ba.rk as soon as they meet strangers because there are too many new things about that person for them: such as a new scent, new behavior… For dogs, new things make them cautious and are perceived as potential threats.

 Certain faces or behaviors make dogs bark more easily

In reality, there are some human traits that make dogs more excited:

• When you wear accessories like a hooded hat or sunglasses: This reduces the dog’s ability to observe your face, making them feel threatened.
• If you have a lot of facial hair.
• If you are tall and muscular, it can scare them.
• Your voice is too deep and loud.
• You point your fingers or stare directly into the dog’s eyes.
• You smoke in front of them. However, dogs are not bothered by the smell of shampoo, perfume, or deodorant…
