Unity3d Transform.LookAt also changes position - unity3d

Question

Title says it all.
I provided an NPC with the following script, which should make him look and bark at the player.
When the player comes into the NPC's reach, however, the NPC starts walking towards the player instead of just facing him.
Any thoughts?
using UnityEngine;
public class Barking : MonoBehaviour {
public AudioSource barkingAudio;
private GameObject player;
private bool barking;
void Start () {
player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player");
barking = false;
}
void Update () {
if (barking)
lookAtPlayer();
}
private void lookAtPlayer()
{
transform.LookAt(player.transform.position, Vector3.up);
}
private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
if (other.gameObject == player)
{
barking = true;
barkingAudio.mute = false;
barkingAudio.Play();
}
}
private void OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
{
if (other.gameObject == player) {
barking = false;
barkingAudio.mute = true;
barkingAudio.Stop();
}
}
}

Answer 1

Since I was using a Rigidbody and rotating the transform manually, there was some unexpected behaviour.
I found some code online which I could replace the Transform.LookAt method with:
var qTo = Quaternion.LookRotation(player.transform.position - transform.position);
qTo = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, qTo, 10 * Time.deltaTime);
GetComponent<Rigidbody>().MoveRotation(qTo);
This fixed my problem!
