Signs that your dog dislikes another dog include growling, barking, raised hackles, stiff body posture, avoiding the other dog, or trying to hide. They might also show aggressive behaviors like snapping or lunging. If your dog appears tense, avoids eye contact, or moves away, it’s a clear sign they’re uncomfortable. Always respect their boundaries, and avoid forcing interactions. Gradual introductions in neutral spaces can help, but if issues persist, consider consulting a trainer or behaviorist.
