Dogs are considered to be more sincere creatures than cats. Some breeds are known for choosing one owner for life.

But to become such a loyal friend to your pet, you need to have an idea of how exactly a dog chooses its owner.

Experts' opinion

The head of the Russian Cynological Federation, Vladimir Golubev, spoke about this in an interview with MIA Rossiya Segodnya.

According to the expert, the statement that many animals choose their owner once and for all is more of a misconception than a fact.

In fact, a pet will easily make friends with anyone who shares positive emotions with it.

Who is the boss?

The specialist named the main criteria that an animal is guided by when choosing an owner.

First, the dog must feel safe around the person.

Secondly, a person’s behavior in the eyes of a pet should be predictable.

Thirdly, the owner will take care of the dog and feed it.

When the animal stops feeling anxious around a person, you can confidently count on a healthy relationship with the four-legged friend.
