WE know how to tell if your dog loves you, but do you know how to tell your dog you love them right back? Check out these 8 ways to say ‘I love you’ to dogs so they intuitively understand.
1.TALK TO YOUR DOG
1.TALK TO YOUR DOG
Studies using MRI technology show dogs understand human languagebetter than previously thought. So talking out loud to your dog isn’t as crazy as you might think.
2. Be a good listener
Dogs rely on facial expressions and body language to communicate. The better you understand how your dog feels, the better you’ll be able to empathize and bond with them.
3. Share soft, deep eye contact
While staring down a dog in a forceful manner will spark aggression, when a dog gives you long, lingering eye contact, it’s a way of saying “I love you.” A recent study shows that oxytocin, the ‘love chemical,’ goes up in both dogs and humans when they share a kind gaze.
4. The brows have it
Scientific studies prove that dogs can read human emotions through our facial expressions. When a dog loves someone, they often raise their eyebrows—the left one more than the right—so greeting your dog with raised eyebrows and a relaxed smile tells your dog how happy you are to be reunited.
5. Lean on me
Did you know that a dog leaning against you is a sign of love and trust? Leaning against your dog is a great way to add a little love boost to your dog’s day.
6. Sleep next to each other
If you don’t care to let your dog in bed with you, even an afternoon snooze on the couch together will relax both you and your dog.
