Dogs are known for their loyalty and affection towards their human companions, but how can you tell if your dog truly loves you?
Here are some ways to tell if your doggie loves you:
- Tail wagging: A dog’s tail wagging is a sign of happiness and excitement, but the way they wag their tail can also communicate different emotions. If your dog wags their tail in a loose and relaxed manner when they see you, it’s a good sign that they are happy to see you. Check the context as well.
- Eye contact: Dogs communicate through eye contact, and making eye contact with your dog can help to strengthen your bond. If your dog maintains eye contact with you, it might be a sign of trust. Try and reinforce this always with positive reinforcement.
- Cuddling: Dogs love to cuddle with their human companions, and snuggling up to you is a sign that they feel safe and secure with you.
- Licking: Sometimes dogs use licking as a way to show affection, and licking your face or hands might be a sign that they love you. BUT sometimes the licking is not showing affection but a calm signal and your dog might be actually showing that he’s uncomfortable. You can check more about this in our posts.
5. Following you: Dogs are pack animals and naturally follow their loved ones. If your dog follows you around the house or stays close to you on walks, it’s a sign that they see you as their family and love being with you. Some people might say this is something called hyperattachment, as a negative thing… which is sometimes not correct.
6. Excitement: Dogs get excited when they see their loved ones, and if your dog gets overly excited when you come home or when you’re getting ready for a walk, it’s a sign that they love spending time with you.
7. Playfulness: Dogs love to play, and if your dog engages in play with you, it’s a sign that they enjoy spending time with you and view you as a friend.
By understanding your dog’s behavior and body language, you can better connect with them and strengthen your bond. Remember, dogs are social creatures that crave human interaction and affection. With proper care and attention, you can develop a deep and lasting relationship with your furry friend.
