Wouldn't you like to talk to your dog, just to know how he feels? After all, showing your affection in a way he understands makes your bond that much stronger! Would you like to let your dog know that you love him? Read how to do that in this blog.
1. Look deep into your dog's eyes
A very good way to really connect with your dog! Apply this in the right way, though. Make sure you are relaxed, but so is your four-legged friend. Pet your dog and look deep into his eyes in a sweet way. This is how you create a bond of trust with your dog.
Looking deep into the eyes can also be seen by dogs as a threat. So be careful not to do this with dogs you don't know well or at a time when the dog is not relaxed.
2. Raise your eyebrows
A Japanese study found that the more facial expression dog owners show when greeting the dog, the more they know they are loved. So from now on, raise your eyebrows when you greet your dog and he knows you love him.
3. Gently leaning on your dog
Not only figuratively, but also literally! In this, of course, you should not plop down on your dog like a bulldozer, but gently lean against him. This way a dog feels that you trust him. Dogs often do this the other way around with people, this is how they show their affection.
4. Sleep with your dog
For dogs, sleeping together with humans is the ultimate feeling of love and trust. This is because that is when dogs are most vulnerable, and they consider us part of their pack. If you do not want your dog to sleep in bed with you, you can also lie with him on the couch, or in his basket, for half an hour a day.
5. Stay yourself
Dogs can read human emotions very well, and often mirror this. For example, have you ever noticed that when you are in a busy mood, your dog takes over? The more you are yourself and communicate this to your dog, the better your bond will become!
