Why does my dog get so nervous around this person?
My dog isn’t nervous around strangers or family members, except for my step-son. The step-son used to smoke and coughs all the time. I know his cough bothers my dog, but can you think of anything else that could trigger the nervousness?
It could be smell…the dog maybe associating your brothers personal oder (to a dog, a very powerful thing), with his coughing, his smoking, or any number of things…He also, may have done something to the dog (not necessarily a horrible thing)…but something that frightened this dog…
It could also easily be his body language…dogs read body language with each other and with people…if your step-son is even a little bit afraid of the dog, the dog can read that in his mannerisms…and to a dog this reads…”if HE is afraid, then there is something to be afraid of”…
p
maybe he did something to your dog in the past so whenever the dog sees him he gets nervous and goes into defense mode
yea maybe he havent been around them
Maybe your son hasnt been around long enough and your dog still considers him a stranger.
