Why can’t you stare into the eyes of dogs?

Staring into the eyes of a dog can be interpreted as a sign of aggression and can make them feel threatened. Dogs are very sensitive to body language and eye contact, and they will often interpret this as a challenge or a sign of dominance. Dogs may respond to this by growling, barking, snarling, or even biting. Additionally, some breeds of dogs, such as huskies, may have a higher threshold for eye contact and may be more likely to respond aggressively.

It is important to remember that dogs are not humans and do not understand the same social cues that we do. When interacting with a dog, it is best to use positive reinforcement and avoid prolonged eye contact. Instead, try to focus on the dog's body language and use calming words and tones to make them feel comfortable.
