Surprising Signs Your Dog Doesn't Really Like You That Much
Fortunately, if a dog isn't your biggest fan, there are a few ways you can try to get them to warm up to you.
The good news is that many dogs will warm up to you even if they're not showing much interest in you at the moment, said Cabral.
"The best way to get a dog to like you is to not try too hard to make the dog like you," Cabral told Insider.
"Give the dog space and time and make them feel safe. Be normal and go about your day-to-day," he added, explaining that you'll probably find that the dog warms up on their own once you start to ignore them a bit.
In addition, Sueda said you'll want to avoid sudden or unexpected movements that might frighten or threaten a dog and you should "associate your presence with things the dog enjoys, such as tossing treats or a toy."
But all in all, sometimes a dog might not like you that much no matter what you do.
"You're not best friends with everyone, so you shouldn't expect your dog to love everyone they meet. It's normal for dogs to have different levels of enthusiasm for different people," said Sueda.
