There is an opinion that if a person couldn’t make friends with a dog the first time, then he has something bad in mind.

In fact, the dog has its own conditions that must be met before it wants to contact the future owner.

If a dog doesn’t like someone, it means he’s a bad person, writes Pskovskaya Lenta Novostey, citing the head of the Russian Cynological Federation, Vladimir Golubev.

But this is a mistake, the expert clarifies.

Dogs make decisions based on their sense of smell, human behavior, communication and condition.

It is important to remember that a dog's nose can detect odors that humans cannot even hear.

Most often, animals react hostilely to strong perfume and the smell of alcohol.

In addition, pets do not like people who gesticulate emotionally, make sudden movements, and so on.

It is important for animals that human actions are predictable.

Dogs also react quickly to changes in voice.

It is also important to remember that dogs are quite sensitive to a person’s mood and understand that he is experiencing fear, anger or some other kind of anxiety.

Whether a dog will be friends with a person depends on all these conditions.
