What Your Dog’s Stare REALLY Means — The Surprising Truth Every Pet Owner Needs to Know!
Why Does My Dog Avoid Eye Contact?
If a dog is feeling shy, anxious or scared, they may avoid making eye contact with people or other dogs. They may have their tail tucked between their legs, ears down, pupils dilated and their bodies lowered with their hind ends up and head closer to the floor. They may also submit completely by rolling over to show their belly.
This can be a common behavior in rescue dogs who have recently been adopted and aren’t sure of their new surroundings. They may have also been abused by their previous owner and will take a while to trust people again. Give them time to adjust to their new family.
