Protective Stance Beside You
Dogs have a strong sense of territory and protective instinct, especially towards the owners they deeply love and cherish. When you’re in an unfamiliar environment, or when strangers or unfamiliar dogs approach, you might notice your dog standing closer to you or circling around you. This is a protective behavior on their part.

This means that your dog sees you as their most important person and is willing to offer you protection, ensuring your safety. Every time they do this, they’re telling you, ‘You are mine, and I will protect you, making sure you’re not harmed.’ This behavior is filled with deep love and loyalty that dogs hold for their owners.
