The reason dogs often chase people

It is in the nature of dogs to chase after things, whether it’s a ball, a tree branch, or another object. It’s an activity they truly enjoy. But have you ever wondered why they chase humans too? If yes, we may have the answer.

One of the reasons why dogs chase people is because of their drive to pray.

These creatures have an innate instinct to chase moving things. Also, they are territorial animals and sometimes chase people in order to protect their territory. When dogs start barking, growling, or showing teeth when a person approaches their home, they may show this kind of behavior because they feel threatened for their territory.

Further, dogs sometimes bark at people and chase after them when they encounter new experiences. No matter how strange this sounds, the new people they meet have their own scent, certain body movements, as well as behaviors that the dogs haven’t experienced before, so they feel threatened. The truth is, dogs are just cautious in such situations.

There are certain human traits that can make dogs angry. For some dogs, it may be wearing glasses, while for others, it could be wearing a hat. Some dogs are also angered by certain people’s voices.

It is a well known fact that the dog is a man’s best friend, so, when the dog chases after strangers and barks at them, it may be because they believe they are protecting their owner that way.

One valuable trait dogs are believed to possess is sensing human’s nature.

These animals are keen observers that watch and remember human’s actions.

Sometimes dogs show aggressive behavior, such as barking and chasing after people, because of past experiences. They may have been hurt by a human in the past and are now cautious around new people.

One way to prevent your dog express anger against other people is to treat them well since they are little, to expose them to different noises and scents.

What also helps is a good training and a little reward in form of a treat when they behave good around other people. Positive reinforcement is never a bad idea.
