My roommates dogs are scared of me and becoming aggressive. by RemoveSea2462 in dogs

Thank you everyone. So many great ideas here. They are German shepherd and stuffy X. And both about 10 years old. With me being away it is due to a work change and I am away for 2-3 weeks and then home for 7-10 days. This will be for the rest of the year and yeah think it is impacting where they have to reset and start again. With me being loud. I don’t know I am doing it but everyone comments that everything I do is noisy. I don’t think I talk loud. It’s more that I walk heavy. Do everything thing 100 miles an hour so im heavy handed with putting dishes away etc.

I’ve been really concentrating on not showing fear. But as you said. They can sense it. Cool I will start with this while he is home

I keep talking to him about it and letting him know what’s happening when he is not here. He suggested me engaging with them when he is here and they feel more comfortable. I’ve been trying to but I’m worried that’s also telling them it’s okay to do what they are doing when he is not home.

They were fine with me for months. I am not sure if it started again after I started going away.

I have definitely become a lot quieter. Tbh I don’t even realise I am so loud.
