Your dog is looking for guidance
Your dog may stare at you because they are unsure of whats going on and are trying to pick up on your cues, Askeland says.
For example, if you grab your keys, your dog may assume you are getting ready to leave the house and will watch you intently to see what happens next.
Some dog breeds may also be more prone to staring at humans and processing visual cues than others, says Liz Dimit, a franchise dog trainer for Dogtopia, a dog daycare, and boarding service.
For example, dogs that were bred for visual guide work, like labrador retrievers and German shepherds are quick to make eye contact and observe a humans body language.
Siberian huskies on the other hand are bred to pull sleds and respond to verbal commands, so they may react more slowly to visual cues and be less likely to stare, Dimit says.
