Reply:not if a dog is treated kindly after a smile. they%26#039;ll learn to associate pain or good feeling depending on how they are treated and with what body language.
Reply:WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE TO YOU?
Reply:Yeah, I think I read it somewhere. To make sure they know what it is, you have to vocalize it (smile, laugh aloud or talk to them while smiling).
Reply:No, most dogs are not afraid of someone who smiles. They have the ability to sense when there is danger a lot of the time. The tone of your voice has a lot more to do with whether you are threathing or not.
Reply:Perhaps if the dog is a stranger..but my dogs try to make me smile..some of them smile back...teeth and all...but some just twinkle their eyes..
Reply:As far as I can remember teeth bearing of a certain kind can mean submission to a dog (dont quote me). To a Monkey however teeth bearing is the monkey equivalent of %26quot;Oi knob%26#039;ead wot u fink yor lookin at%26quot; (but dont quote me)
