To dogs, direct eye contact is a challenge. You're challenging him and he's telling you to knock it off.
If you're not careful, the growling and barking will escalate into biting and it will be your fault. So stop it.

No, it's NOT that your challenging him.
BUT, dog's feel threatend with eye-to-eye contact.
They become nervous and feel the only way to react is to protect themselves.

He growls and barks because you are CHALLENGING HIM!
And he doesn't believe you should be alpha over him and he resents your challenging him. -!-

When you stare at a dog's eye it means that you're challenging them to like a fight. That's the reason why.
You are showing aggression towards him by doing this. He does not like it.
because he thinks you are challenging him. please stop this as you may end up getting bit in the face.
Exactly!!! you are challanging him
