Is it true that a dog only chases you if you run?

Answer #1

No. My dog randomly chases me, I’ll be standing by the fire, and he’ll run towrds me and if I don’t run, he plows into me

Answer #2

No, a dog will chase you whether you run or not for whatever reason it feels like.

Answer #3

Depends why hes chasing…i dont suppose you run with a bone near him.

Answer #4

i agree!

Answer #5

Most dogs do. Protective dogs think that you are guilty of causing some sort of problem so they chase you. Dogs usually tend to classify running as a threat. Me and my friends had to walk one block from our bus to our house, on the way we got chased by our neighbors dogs everyday.

Answer #6

I am sure you have chased people or animals, but have you ever tried “chasing” a stationary object ?

You might run towards it, but you are not chasing it unless it moves away from you pretty fast - at least by my definition of “chasing”.

If you stand still, the dog can’t “chase you”, but it might run at you and bite you.

Answer #7

I would think yes, they need something or someone to chase?

Answer #8

dog chases u when there is a reason, i.e. ur a threat or some kind, or hes just being playful, so when u run the dog thinks ur a threat (u maybe stole something and trying to get away with it or whatever) but it can think ur a threat even without running, or playful, hope that helps, and u should know this already

Answer #9
