Can dogs sense when a person is a bad person?

15. That whole alpha stuff went out years ago.

It's not even true in wolf packs. Depends on what's going on at the time. Mostly the packs are loosely structured.

Dogs can sure sense aggression. They can also sense if a person is acting weird. Or if their behavior is off.

Some dogs don't like men. Some don't like women. Some are threatened by kid's unpredictable behavior.



But it also depends on the breed. Some breeds are careful around any strangers. Others love everybody.

If you see a dog's hair stand on end don't reach out to pet him.

I work with dogs every day.
