Episode #2.38 – Why Does My Dog Stare at Me: The Truth About Dog Eye Contact

Is your dog always staring at you? Do those intense puppy-dog eyes feel like a mystery or even a challenge? You are not alone.

In this episode of Paws and Pawsitivity, I am Jamie Watkinson-Harvey, Certified Dog Trainer and Behaviour Consultant at Pawfect Training Academy. I break down the truth about canine eye contact, bust the dominance myth and explain what your dog is really trying to say.

From love and curiosity to confusion or communication, your dog’s stare can reveal far more than you might think. Learn when to engage, when to give space and how to interpret your dog’s subtle emotional signals through their gaze.

🐾 You will learn:

• What eye contact means in different dog contexts

• Why dominance myths about staring are outdated

• How to tell when a dog’s stare is affectionate or anxious

• Simple ways to build connection through soft focus and trust

• How reading body language strengthens communication
