11 Signs Your Dog Is Secretly Mad at You

- Although dogs don't get mad at someone in the same way that humans do, it’s possible for them to feel unhappy and uncomfortable around you.
More likely than not, they're simply trying to convey their feelings and looking to you to stop the source of their distress.
In this video, we will talk about 11 telltale signs that show your dog isn’t happy with you.
They keep licking their lips and there’s no food nearby
Dogs communicate via body language in many ways - licking their lips is just one of them.
Dogs may show that they’re mad or in distress by licking their lips and nose repeatedly.
Your dog won’t look you in the eye
Just like people won’t look you in the eye when they’re angry, dogs are likely to look away to express their displeasure. This is because dogs often choose flight as opposed to fight. By looking away from you, your dog is trying to keep the peace and avoid an attack.
A dog who is comfortable and happy will likely be willing to make eye contact with their owner and seek out their attention.
Your dog avoids your touch
Dogs are pack animals, and physical touch is a big part of their love language. Research has shown that dogs spend more time around owners who pet them, than those that praise them.
Petting and cuddling with your canine also releases chemicals and love hormones in them that make them feel good.
Well, while there may be times that your dog is just uninterested and don't want to be petted, if you notice your dog regularly ducks away from your hand, it could mean that they are annoyed, or that they don’t feel comfortable with you.
But remember, there could be another reason that your dog avoids your touch. Your dog could be in pain, or they may be suffering from an illness.
They don't let their guard down when you are around
Dogs are usually concerned about their safety and won’t expose their vulnerable parts when they aren’t sure about their surroundings.
If your dog doesn’t relax or let its guard down when you’re around, it could mean they feel uncomfortable around you. On the other hand, a happy dog will snooze, relax, and expose their belly.
Your dog keeps a distance
If your furry friend insists on maintaining a distance from you, then there's a good chance they’re trying to avoid you on purpose.
But remember, keeping distance can also mean something altogether different.
Dogs tend to hide outward expressions of pain as they believe showing any weakness makes them appear weaker and vulnerable.
Your dog refuses to sit and stay
Stubbornness can be a sign of discomfort or anger in dogs. Much like an insolent child, dogs, too, will deliberately ignore your commands when they are angry. If you know your dog is capable of sitting or rolling over, but they suddenly stop responding to you, that could be an indication that your dog is upset by you or something in their environment.
Your dog growls at you
A growl expresses so many emotions, but it often conveys that a dog is upset about something. More often than not, dogs growl to warn you that they are about to lash out because whatever situation they are facing is close to unbearable.
If your dog growls at you while you’re doing something to them, it means they are mad about it and you should stop.
Remember, sudden aggression in dogs is also a sign of the pain or perhaps an illness. Even a gentle, friendly dog may behave aggressively when they are hurting.
They reject a gift
Anyone who is familiar with dogs knows how much they appreciate a yummy treat. So, if a dog is avoiding a special snack just to avoid being near you, that's a sign they don’t feel comfortable in your presence, or that they don’t trust you.
Another reason that your dog refuses your treat is when they are experiencing physical pain or illness.
Your dog is nicer to others around you
If your dog turns to others for pets and interactions but consistently ignores you, this is a clear sign that the problem is not with them, it's you.
Stiffening up in your presence
Dogs mainly communicate through the use of body language, so you can learn a lot about your dog’s feelings by watching their body language.
When you try to pet your dog or cuddle with them, and the animal begins to stiffen up or hardens their body in your presence, it is a clear sign that they don’t feel comfortable in your presence.
If your dog reaches this point of stress, it’s important to give them plenty of space to calm down.
Your dog doesn’t want to play with you
Dogs love to play as much they love a good snack. And just like humans play together when get along, so do dogs. Playtime helps build cooperative relationships.
If you take your dog’s tennis ball out, and your playful dog is not interested in playing with you, then it’s a sign that your pet probably doesn’t want to spend time with you. But remember, a sudden lack of interest in playing might be a sign that your dog is sick or is not feeling well.

I had a rescue that hid in the bathroom. I set water and some food near his hiding spot
I took him treats, talked to him until he would let me touch him and gave him short ear scratches. After a week he was sleeping at the foot of the bed 2 more weeks and he slept on my pillow until winter and he slept under the blanket with his head on my arm.
Let the dog come to you
Absolutely. Wise words.
@@atsalter48 Thank you
my minpin was never "secretly" mad at me. he made it very clear he was mad.
😂
Yup
Was probably hurting his whole life
@@benben071 what?
*Me owning a dog for over 11 years that follows me in every room I go in , sleeps in the bed and cuddles every night, looks me in the eyes and tries to please me every day*
Me when I read this title: ahhh yes I definitely need to check this out.
Hahaha me to you aren’t alone
Absolutely the best dog behaviour channel I’ve found.
I had to put down my Labrador a week ago because of a Lymphoma (cancer) but one thing I know, he was never mad at me
I’m so sorry for your loss 😔
Sorry for your loss. I also put down my 16 year old shih tzu a week ago. Hardest event of my life. I miss her like crazy and I know for sure she loved me a whole lot.
So sorry for your loss.
Never, huh? Condolences
Same thing happen to my dog 😭😭😭😭
One year anniversary of our Leo’s passing. Still watch these videos.
Bless you. What a loss
@@liznichols3097 definitely
Sorry for ur loss :(
Get a new dog the time has passed.
This hurts more than a hard time breakup
I always know when my dog is mad at me. He either lets the air out of my tires or takes out a bunch of magazine subscriptions in my name.
And this whole time I thought it was my neighbor🤦♂️
Or, if you have an English Bulldog like I do, you don’t have to wonder if they are mad because they will tell you in a variety of ways…side eye, pouting, turning their back on you and even telling you off! 🤣🤣 I won’t ever have another breed of dog. I love my temperamental divas to bits ❤️
We just lost our 13 year old Akita. Was she ever mad at me? Sure she was an Akita. She didn’t always get her way. Did she love me? To the moon and back, just as I loved her. There is a hole in my heart.
Big hugs. I totally understand
That's a pretty great age for an Akita.
My dog has hit 6 months and now it's not listening to me as much, but he wants all the cuddles and eye stares, so I'm putting it down to teen rebellion.
Same ! Lol
Puberty 😂
Adolescent stage! It will pass
My dog growls when he is playing (or trying to get some else or another dog to play). He sounds like a rabid werewolf, so thankfully all of the dogs and dog parents at the park understand. But it was a little scary before we figured it out!
It's hard to explain that to people until they see it
Lmaooo my boxer does the same thing
Practical and useful information as always 👍 thank you for these amazing videos 😊
Fascinating information, thank you.
My spaniel gets mad at me whenever I bathe her or use trimmers to groom her, and #5 is exactly her speed, keeping her distance, acting scared & rejecting treats after a bath. I’m glad I’m doing the right thing by letting her hide and not invading her safe space, because I always feel bad that she’s not happy, but I let her be so she knows she’s not in danger. She always warms right up to me after, but god I hate those 10 minutes a month where she’s terrified of me 😔
Excellent advice thanks. My dog was abused before o got him, it's taken 5 years to get him to be s normal loving dog. However he does have bad days very occasionally. I cannot leave him alone as he howls. I have used tried and tested approaches but it is to avail.
my dog has been doing some of these behaviors towards me and idk how to fix it... im so frustrated why he wont demonstrate the same level of affection he gives others so willingly
Our normally very VERY loved and loving dog, seems to not want to be pet anytime he wants something... play or a treat. He's very strange about being pet. But he's all about them any other time, especially when he comes for snuggles (he's VERY snuggly, and naps sideways near or on top of us all the time). He's also weird about pets when people are over (even people he absolutely adores, again I think it's because he wants them to play with him, but I'm not sure why that makes him avoidant of physical attention when he wants play).
Sometimes I feel like my dog is mad at me because while she's cuddled up next to me on the couch, I pet her and she sits up, looks away, but then gives me the side-eye. But then when I stop petting her she cuddles up against me again. weird.
luv your content
This advice also applies to co-dependent lovers
I have a chihuahua and frankly she gives me mixed signals ... she growls when she is happy, she growls when she is mad ... there are times when she runs away just to come back to me to grab that tasty treat, and there are times when she stays by me for cuddles but won't accept any treats!
She is a brat and keeps us guessing, that's for sure 🐕👌
My dogs can read my mind! I’m convinced of it.
Hi new friend here thanks for sharing this very informative good to know information. fullpack support done thank u and god speed
My golden retriever, Apollo, he never gets mad at me, he loves me, when ever I go outside, he just runs to me, and I pet him, he’s 3 years old, but he looks like a adult!
My dog started ignoring me when I kept one of her puppies. I did this to give her some companionship while I’m working. She won’t sleep with me anymore, she doesn’t come to me, and if I pick her up to love on her, she tolerates it, but she’s a little stiff and not relaxed. She’s a dachshund and pretty stubborn and quite the diva, even before her puppy stayed..I don’t know how to fix this! The puppy is over 3 months old now…she should be over this jealousy by now…right?
The dog at the begining looks like he was trying his best to say ...this look like I'm smiling mudder fudder 😬😁
My son from age 5 years always lay on the lawn or floor to hug n play with his dog.. n they were very bonded.
When outsiders give your dog more body rubs than you give them.. you lose their favour, even if only you feed and care for them.
Older dogs will not play much as they get older.. their bodies are tired.. just the same as we do with ageing.
I used to groom my dog, as a Chippoo she is tiny and the cost of grooming is expensive. One day I got my husband to take her to the Dog Salon for her grooming session. When she came back she didn't look that much better and sat in front of me with her back to me.
I knew she was very upset. She hasn't been back since.
Usually during grooming, although she hates it, I give her hugs and and a break. I doubt the groomer did this. I also don't restrain her other than asking someone else to hold her while I cut her coat.
My dog pouts when he doesn't get his way I just ignore him
When my dog is mad... it is NO secret. lol
You say dogs are not like humans then proceed to invalidate your premise by showing how they feel exactly like humans.
What about my dog hiding treats from me? I need only to touch the food and she moves it to a hiding place.:(
Dogs who have been physically abused also shy away from touch. Of course some poor souls don't get that physically abusing their dog has an impact.
Ok can someone explain to me why my pup growls at me whenever I come close to her but she stops when I pick her up and still allows me to cuddle her to sleep?
My pinscher doesn't secretly getting mad at me but being clever that she's mad 💢💢
I love Golden Retrievers! ♥️
My dog growls while playing, and bares his teeth at me, but I know it's all play, because he is super loving and he's just like that.
Mine does to. I’m glad I read this
Same. Mine goes from growling to playing with me to whining when I stop playing.
No wonder the dachshund was mad. He was being petted backwards!
Take all these videos w a grain of salt folks, dogs are very complex animals
Ziek zijn is een probleem 😨 ze reageren anders 🙄 ik weet het 🙈🐾🐾💗🐾🐾 arme hondjes 💪💪💪
I have a chippiparai and know that he is never secretly mad at me
My mom's dog never keeps the distance from me as a matter of fact I believe that I am her best friend. I love to accost my dog and cuddle her with many loves like several times a day it's almost obsessive I think I need counseling......
I disagree. When my dog doesn't want to play with the ball, he is pretty much ready to play with something else like a random stick or the frisbee in the bag. I also don't think that the fact he doesn't sit when he is annoying me for an hour is necessarily a sign he is mad at me. Basicly good and valuable info but the title of your video isn't correct.
I have a german shepherd he does my commands but when I wanna touch him he wants to bite me but not to other family members 🙁
Who let the dogs out...Woof Woof!!!!
I wish my problem were my dog not wanting to be near me
my dog extremely clingy to my Dad, he's will ignore us when my dad didn't bring him anywhere he's goes 🥺😹
💜💜💜🐷
I pet another dog and mine slashed a hole in all 4 tires.
I have a golden retrievers and he is the best but what do it mean when a dog don't eat food
He's either not hungry or has some stomach type of pain and if he refuses to eat for a longer period take him to the vet immediately! Might have some kind of stomach/kidney/intestinal/pancreas problem which needs some medical attention right away!
My dogs are lovely they attention seek all the time and love belly starches
Why did they keep showing Chihuahuas in the video? LOL
Video unclear, finger got bitten off again.
My little girl half Black Lab and half Great Dane got mad at me a few days ago. I had not remade the bed after taking sheets off. She got up on the bed, which she is allowed and was laying on mattress cover. I asked her to get down so I could make the bed. She refused. So I helped her down. She got into her own very comfortable bed on the floor and covered her head with her paws. She wouldn’t even acknowledge me. It was hilarious. She finally got back on our bed a about 11 that night and curled up next to me. We’ve only had her almost five months. She just turned a year old. She came from a horrible situation and wouldn’t be alive if we hadn’t of rescued her. Sweetest baby ever.
11 incredibly sad sings would be a better title
I washed my dog for the first time now he is ignoring me 😑
My dog is the exact opposite of the "stressed dog" behavior list...she's spoiled 😆
It's official my dog loves me more than GOD what a DOG I GOT 🐕
Secretly mad? 🤔
So just obvious ones?

Question serious question can a dog sense a person who is possessed by a demon
Probably
@@carrieanne2012 hope you know I’m being serious cause my dogs bark at nothing.
@@jedipadwan20 Dogs see things we can’t, they sense ghosts, bad people,and danger
@@carrieanne2012 thought so is it possible for a human to sense that stuff if their senses are somehow attuned?
@@jedipadwan20 Yes, if you are open to it it also helps if you are an empath
Second
first
I beg u
What means when my dog opens their foot and show me their stomach with like fear(?) In their eyes?
My dog doesn't receive any abuse, she is very loved at home, but sometimes when she see me or any of my fam she opens her foot and show me her private parts lol
That's generally a sign of submission, it means you're in charge and the dog respects that and feels safe with you.
Mine does that when he wants a belly rub 😊
She wants you to her her stomach. That’s my dog’s favorite activity- getting a belly rub.
If my dogs mad at me ? There’s the door 😒
Could just not be a shitty owner lol
Lol
PLZ DO CATSSSSSSSSSSSSS
My dog doesn't sit or stay i couldnt walk him cause of covid
My Pom will shove his face into the corner of the couch and ignore us.
