Dog story
The dog may actively try to avoid interactions or physical contact with their human, seeking distance instead.
Disregarding commands or failing to respond to cues from their human may indicate a lack of trust or respect.
If the dog becomes possessive or protective over food, toys, or other items, it can be a sign of resource guarding and potential insecurity in the relationship.
Aggressive displays such as growling, snapping, or showing teeth can occur when a dog feels threatened, frightened, or uncomfortable.
Pulling excessively on the leash during walks can indicate a lack of trust in their human's ability to lead or control the situation.
Overly exuberant or rough play, including jumping on or mouthing their human, can suggest a lack of understanding boundaries or social cues.
Subtle signs like lowered ears, a tucked tail, avoiding eye contact, or a crouched posture can indicate fear, anxiety, or discomfort in the dog-human dynamic.
