The dog asks to be scratched

It is not at all necessary that the dog will expose its belly to you. Many pets become exhausted when they are scratched behind the ear.

The dog asks to play

The dog may bring a ball, a favorite toy or a leash, or otherwise demonstrate its good mood.

The dog becomes obedient

The dog may watch its owner intently, with its ears pressed back, look away when its owner looks at it, etc.

All these are signs of readiness to fulfill the will of the owner, whom the animal does not want to upset.

And the main trick of a pet that wants to demonstrate trust is a relaxed posture in the presence of the owner.

At the same time, experts urge not to humanize some dog habits and behaviors in order to avoid misunderstandings.
