staring?

i guess i didnt realize there was so many different things it could be. I was always told that when a dog looks you directly in the eye then they've got you where they want you, and be careful because they may harm you!
Cainan im not too afraid of. i mean i jump when he barks cause it catches me off guard, but when he's acting up i usually am the one that tells him whats up.
it doesnt freak me out or anything when he stares, it's just kinda odd. Like out of all the things in the house you could stare at you choose to stare at me haha!

Yeah, the dominance theory is quickly being rejected by many experts it seems.

Still, next time you see a very well trained border collie doing the obedience work, look at how it never takes it's eye off of it's handler. I wouldn't call it dominance, lol. like everyone else says, just being attentive.
