They Maintain Eye Contact If your dog looks into your eyes with a soft, relaxed gaze, it’s a strong sign of trust. Eye contact releases oxytocin, the "bonding hormone," strengthening your connection.
They Sleep Near You (or on You) Dogs are vulnerable when they sleep. If your pup chooses to rest near you—or even better, on your lap—it means they feel completely safe in your presence.
They Show Their Belly for Rubs Exposing the belly is a dog's way of saying, "I trust you!" It’s a sign they feel secure and comfortable, as the belly is one of their most vulnerable areas.
They Follow You Everywhere If your dog follows you from room to room, it’s not just because they’re curious—it’s a clear indication that they see you as their trusted leader and source of security.
They Bring You Their Favorite Toys Dogs don’t just bring toys when they want to play; they also do it as a sign of trust and affection. Sharing their prized possessions means they consider you part of their pack.
They Stay Calm When You Leave A dog that trusts you knows you’ll come back. If they don’t panic or show signs of anxiety when you leave, it means they have full confidence that you’ll return.
