But do you know why dogs do this?
How can dogs that are normally loyal and friendly to humans suddenly become bitter enemies of vehicle occupants?
This happens because dogs have a habit to urinate at places to mark their territory and this is sometimes being done by the new dogs as well when they enter other dog’s territory.
As this is a common practice, hence it is for sure that your car or motorcycle tyres are being urinated / pissed by the dogs at some point of time and you would not be even aware of this.
From our childhood we have been told that the sense of smell is very strong in dogs. And this is what explains the things.
When you move outside your colony or even the outside of your lane of house , where the territory of the local dog changes, the smell of urination also moves with your vehicle. The other dogs smell the urinations and this is what they think.
AGGRESSIVE DOGS
First they do not like to see another dog at all. Similarly, when they smell another dog from a car or bicycle tire, they sense the arrival of a new dog in their area.
That is why they attack you thinking that your vehicle is carrier of the new dog.
More aggressive dogs think new dogs are on them with spinning car tires getting ready to attack. Many people get scared of this and they start driving the car or riding the bike faster.
Due to which dogs’ suspicion that the dog must be around to attack them in their area turns into confidence and they become even more aggressive.
Remember that it’s the smell of the urine of other dogs that are responsible for this.

It will suffice them that their territory is safe.
This will also keep you safe from accidents and imbalances.
