An animal behaviourist has issued a warning about a popular social media trend which could trigger aggression in a dog.
The 'bark at your dog' challenge involves people getting up close to their pets and barking at them to get a reaction. Reactions can vary with some dogs barking back while others may hide away.
The trend is particularly popular on TikTok where there are 159 million #barkatyourdog tags, reports the Mirror. While many may see it as harmless fun, an expert believes that this challenge could distress a dog.
