Dogs can read human emotions, a recent study found, but how do our beloved pets react to these emotion cues?

Your pet dog doesn’t trust you when you’re angry, according to new research examining how well canines understand human emotion.

Dogs delayed their reaction to human commands ordered with a negative facial and vocal expression, according to psychology expert Ross Flom and his team at Brigham Young University, Utah.

He examined the effects of human affective behaviour on dogs’ exploratory and point-following behaviour in two experiments.
