+5 Why Does My Dog Move Away When I Pet Him Full Update. Why do a lot of cats try to walk away as you are petting them. Then maybe a 12 hour or so later your dog moves to a different spot a little distance a way.
In some cases it could be that the dog has mobility issues or is not feeling well and the presence of the owner along with being asked to move away has been associated with the pain.
