Excessive eye contact
Some dogs might read excessive eye contact as an act of dominance or even aggression, especially if you are unfamiliar with the animal. MNN recommends approaching dogs you don't know at an angle and limiting eye contact.
Keeping the leash too tight
Nobody likes being yanked around by their dog, we say it's also important to communicate calmness to the dog by allowing at least a little slack. Hopefully the sense of ease will go both ways, and your dog will stop pulling as hard
When you’re angry
Dogs’ ability to pick up on our moods means they experience fallout from our negative emotions. If a dog lives with someone who is constantly stressed or angry, they can become anxious too.
Using your voice more than Expressions
Dogs have evolved to better understand your body language than the words you say, Mother Nature Network says. Try to go a day using solely gestures and body language to communicate with your dog.
Being treated like a baby
There are two parts to this: one is that using a higher-pitched baby voice with your dog will wind him up and put him in a permanent state of agitation. The second is that dogs really need to know their place in the family. Dog whisperer, Cesar Milansays, “Your ‘baby’ is also a pack animal and needs the structure and discipline in her life to feel fulfilled and not become frustrated. There is nothing wrong with showing your dog love, but remember: first exercise, then discipline, and finally affection.”
Pat On the head and face
Have you ever noticed that your dog pulls away slightly when you reach for her face? If so, it’s a sign she really doesn’t like it. Another place most dogs don’t like to be patted is on the top of the head – can you imagine being thumped on the head by a giant? It would quickly get on your nerves!
