Default Lab

My one year old lab is always starring at me. Why does he do this? He watches me constantly.

Dogs base their behavior on pack mentality. He probably views you as his leader and is waiting for you to show him what you want him to do.

That was just a hypothesis. He might be thinking, "I wonder if his balls taste as good as mine." I'm not the dog whisperer.

The dog probably wants one of three things food, go outside or to play. In the winter I get a lot of the staring due to not being ooutside as much.
