Product Information

Like humans, different dogs show and feel love in different ways. Today, we’re going to discuss the popular five human love languages and how they may show up in your dog, and how to identify what your dog responds best to. Don’t mistake this love language for materialism. It’s all about thoughtful gifts and gestures of love. Remembering your pup’s birthday or giving them their favorite kind of toy or treat is a cherished moment for your pup.

While we may think our dogs are trying to look extra cute for us when they tilt their heads, it’s more likely that they are trying to adjust their ears to hear better.Kind, encouraging words speak loudly for pups with this love language. Your pup may have this as their love language if they light up when you call them a “good boy” or you tell them how adorable they are. If your dog has this as their love language, try verbalizing praise even more. Your pup may show words of affirmation to you by being more vocal and cooing. Another study showed that dogs’ brain activity went through the roof when they listened to happy sounds, like praise. The same study also showed many similarities between the way both humans and dogs process sounds. If your pup tends to flop over on their side to sleep, this is a great sign. Typically, this indicates optimal trust and relaxation in their environment. Is your pup thrilled to spend time lounging on the couch with you or hiking with you for hours on end? Do they love being in the same room with you constantly, maybe to the point where they follow you to the bathroom? When a dog tilts their head, this can help dogs adjust their ear flaps or move their ears in the direction of a sound. This allows the dog to better assess the source and distance of the sound.

Does your pup light up with excitement whenever you give them a new toy or treat? Do they carry around their most prized possessions with them from room to room? If so, your dog’s love language may be gifts. If your dog has a physical touch love language, here’s how to make dogs feel loved. Take breaks to pet your pup, rub their ears, and give them a belly rub. If possible, snuggle with them on the couch or your bed at the end of the day. What are signs your dog loves you? And how does your dog show love? A snuggle at the end of the day? Wet puppy kisses? Bringing you their prized stuffed toy? No matter how you show love, we’re sure your pup appreciates it, but wouldn’t it be nice to know how they prefer to feel love and even how they show affection to you?Dogs have a better sense of hearing than we do, but their hearing is more directional than ours. Unlike humans, who can hear and detect sounds regardless of the direction the sound is coming from, dogs need to have their ears turned towards the sound. On top of this, dog ear flaps can also partially or entirely cover their ear canal, so they need to adjust their ear flaps to hear optimally. A sorry dog may show it by having their tail between their legs, widened eyes, reduced panting, and drooping ears. Often, when we assume our dog is saying sorry, we are actually projecting our own emotions on them. The short answer: yes. Dogs do love us, and they show it in a lot of different ways. Signs Your Dog Loves You

Affection, attention, and exercise are obvious answers, as well as making sure they are well cared for and fed ( PetPlate can help with that). But structure, boundaries and training are also part of the equation. As we mentioned earlier, dogs feel most comfortable and confident when they are in the care of a strong and fair leader. A Guide to Your Dog’s Body Language & Behavior Science absolutely supports the theory that dogs both feel and understand love. In fact, when youhug, play, or gaze at your dog (provided they enjoy these things), both of your oxytocin levels go up, which supports bonding and yes, “love.” How do you know if your dog’s favorite person? If your pup sleeps on their belly with their legs resting on the floor, this is typically an indication that they are a playful dog who plays hard and snoozes hard.
