13 Things humans do that dogs dislike

4. Lacking Structure

As mentioned above, your dog needs limits. This structure is comforting to them, as animals thrive in a routine, like eating meals, going to the bathroom, and going on walks around the same time each day.

To that, regular exercise is imperative to prevent dogs from acting out. How would you feel if you were housebound all day?

5. Touching Their Faces

Again, most dogs will tolerate the fingers of their owners on their faces, but they probably don’t enjoy it. This rule is especially true with dogs you don’t know- make sure to give them plenty of personal space until they’re comfortable enough to allow a gentle pat on the back.

6. Eye Contact

We dog owners know we can gaze into the eyes of our pooches–in fact, it can be a sign of love. But when a dog doesn’t know you, it can be interpreted as a challenge or threat. Avoid eye contact with dogs you don’t know!
