? asked in PetsDogs · 1 decade ago

what does this mean (read details)?

i have noticed that i have been able to pet dogs that the owners say that the dog never lest any one pet him/her. sometimes a scared dog will just walk up to me and let me pet. my friend has a dog who will run away from every one but me and it took me only 3 days when some of his other friends have went to his house for years and never got to even touch the dog. i was at a park and petting any dog that walked by and some people will look at me and say my dog normally does not let any one touch him/her

Update:

by the way i think that it is a good thing

Update 2:

i try to be nice to everyone even with pressure i try i am very nice to dogs tho. my foster dog will bark at any dog but a poodle she knows that i love them i try not to say that in front of her if i do she will ignore me for a day

Update 3:

well im loving when it comes to dogs i just can't let a dog be scared. i remember there was a dog that is usually a little cautious but he walked right up to me smiling

Update 4:

i even did research because i don't want to be confused and i don't want to have a dog suffer because i did not do my research to know what the breed needs

Update 5:

thanks for all of your awesome answers

    I'm guessing, they sense your aura is very healthy, they don't feel threatend! You must be a very, nice, good, caring, person!

    Trust me, this is a good thing.

    This happens with babies too. I have that affect on them sometimes

    Have you ever heard the phrase "fear goes down the lead"? Dogs have a very good sense of who is a dog person/ or poodle lover and who is not. Yes, it's a beautiful thing!

    It means you might be a approachable person to the dog.

    Dogs don't approach everyone.. it may think the other friends may hurt it or think of them as bad people.. But maybe it notices and like you scent and your smile.

    Dogs have way more sensitivity to smell than we do. Our smell can tell them all about us. They know who loves them by the smell, they also know who might hurt them the same way. Therefore, your personal scent tells dogs that you are a kind, loving person that they can trust. This is why they actually crave your attention:)
