Why Does My Dog Walk In Front Of Me? You all had a dog that walks in front of you all the time. As such, you all need and want to know the answer to the following question. Why does my dog walk in front of me and is it okay?

Sadly, there is no just one reason or one explanation why your pet does this. There are several of them and you need to figure out why your particular dog does this. We will reveal the main reasons and you can proceed from there. 

Why Does My Dog Walk In Front Of Me?

1. He is faster than you

Why does my dog walk in front of me & is it okay? In this case scenario, it is perfectly normal and yes, it is okay. Dogs are digitigrade. These are animals who walk using their toes. On the other hand, humans are plantigrades. In simple terms, dogs are much faster than humans while walking or running and they show you that when you two walk. What this means is that your pet wants you to go faster and he walks in front of you to show you that. 

2. Your dog wants to interact with someone or something

If your pet walks in front of you at some times, he will do this in order to interact with something. It can be another dog, a plant, a person, or anything else. In most cases, he will smell something and he will want to be the first to interact with that. Once again, this is normal behavior and there is no need to correct it or do anything else.

3. A lot of energy

Dogs have a lot of energy. As the result, they need a lot of exercises. If you fail to provide them that, they will have too much energy that cannot be used for anything. He needs or even must use that energy for something. The best example is when you walk your pet. He will have too much energy and he will show you that.

Not all dogs need a lot of physical activity. Labrador retriever, Dalmatians, Alaskan malamute, boxer, German Sharped, and many other, big dogs need physical activity the most. Others need less of it, but all dogs need it. Ideally, you will need to research and learn how much exercising your particular dog breed needs and apply that to your pet. 

4. He doesn’t know not to walk like this

Here we can see two reasons and two a bit different explanations. The first one is that your dog has been doing this for a long period of time and he is used to doing this. As such, he believes that there is no need not to do this and that it is perfectly normal. Some of you may believe that a dog walking in front of you wants to show you his dominance, that he is alpha. However, this isn’t true!

The second reason here is that you didn’t tell him not to do that. He doesn’t know any better and once again, he believes that it is something he should do all the time. In both cases, we can see that your dog will walk in front of you all the time, not just in specific time frames.

5. You give them more lead than they need

If your dog is on a retractable leash, it will encourage pulling behavior. On the other hand, if he is on the leash and you give him too much lead, he will develop another type of behavior. In other terms, he will believe that he has more freedom to explore other things or even that you want him in front of you. This is the most common reason actually and can be seen in all dogs and among most dog owners.

If your goal is to keep the dog next to you all the time, practice this behavior. The dog should be on a short leash and he must know his place. If you don’t want this, then you can use any length of the leash and your pet will likely walk in front of you. They really look proud when walking like this.

6. Your friend wants more attention from you

One of the rare but also possible reasons why your pet does this is simply because he wants more attention from you. He may walk in front of you all the time or just occasionally. Regardless of this, he wants you to spend more time with him and to play with him more. 

There is no need in adding that you should give him that. Play more with him and spend more quality time. In addition, you can organize play dates and give him more affection. 

7. A dog loves spending time outside

Dogs and all animals are born outside and this is their home. One way or another, they want to spend as much time outside as possible. This may include hours and hours. If you see that your pet is extremely happy when outside, this is the reason why. He loves there and there is a simple reason for that. 

Outside, dogs can use their powerful smell of scent, see all kinds of things and so much more. Dogs don’t really like spending a lot of time indoors and every single dog is happier outside. Mix this with extremely high energy levels and you can see why some dogs walk in front of you so fast.

The final word 

Why does my dog walk in front of me and is it okay? As you can see, usually it is perfectly fine and there is no need to do anything about it. But, if you don’t like it, you can change the behavior. In essence, your pet wants to tell you something and you need to understand your pet better. Yes, it is possible that your dog does this due to several reasons. Make sure you find all of them.
