How Do Dogs Show Affection to Humans?
Nobody gives you unconditional love like your canine companion. Even if you're having a bad hair day or just burned dinner, your dog will still adore you. Because dogs can't just tell you how they feel about you, they do things that show their affection. Learn how to read your dog's face, body and actions so you can recognize and interpret his little displays of love and affection.
Wagging His Tail
If your dog sees you and immediately begins wagging his tail in wide sweeps or circles while wiggling his rear end, he is showing you affection. Keep in mind that dogs use their tails to communicate other strong emotions, including fear, agitation and irritation. A wagging tail held about mid-height indicate he's happy to see his beloved person, as does a wag with the tail held to the right side of his derriere, according to Psychology Today. A dog wagging his tail in a low position or horizontally indicates he feels uncertain, while wagging his tail with a left-sided bias is a sign he feels frightened. Dogs who are on alert or are standing their ground hold their tails high, often stiffly moving it back and forth. Don't mistake this movement for wagging, however. That dog is certainly not feeling happy or affectionate at the time.
Licking Your Face
When your dog licks your face, it can signify the affection he feels for you. Licking promotes the release of endorphins that make dogs feel pleasure and comfort, according to the Animal Planet. Dogs also lick pack members to groom them, but they only groom those with whom they have a solid bond. Licking can be a sign of submission to dominant pack members, which helps keep the pack hierarchy in place. In fact, your dog might lick your face to show his affection and indicate he respects you as as his dominant pack leader.
Smiling at You
Dog owners have long insisted that their canine companions smile at them, and it turns out they are right. Dogs, like their human pack leaders, can use facial expressions to show how they feel. In fact, they even use some of the same muscles to make various facial expressions, including smiling. A smiling dog's mouth should look relaxed and opened, and not tightly shut lips that look more like a grimace. The latter indicates he's feeling frightened. So the next time your dog smiles at you with affection, smile back to show him his love is reciprocated.
Touching You
Touching is an essential part of a loving relationship, and dogs frequently touch their owners when wanting to show affection. Some dogs literally lean against their owners, while others prefer resting their heads on their owners' laps. Still others want to snuggle in bed or cuddle with their people on the couch. When your dog touches you, take the time to pet him so he knows that the affection is mutual. Keep in mind that dogs like to sleep snuggling close to their pack mates, so your dog undoubtedly wants to curl up next to you during sleep time. Whether you allow your dog on the bed or couch is up to you, but just the fact he wants to cuddle with you is a sign of affection.
Making Eye Contact
Dogs show affection by making eye contact with their owners, giving them that soft stare that just seems to say, "You are my favorite person." They generally seek out eye contact when they are feeling happy, relaxed and comfortable. Your dog's face will look relaxed and his eyes will be the normal size and showing just a bit of white. Canine companions who enjoy strong bonds with their owners tend to make eye contact more often than those who don't.

How to Let Your Dog Know You Love Him
Dog guardians know their companions have a rich emotional life, and there is science to back that up. A 2012 study done by the University of London found that dogs show empathy to people who show signs of distress. Showing love to your dog involves responsible pet guardianship, regular medical care, companionship and affection. Like people, dogs are individuals, and the unique things you do for your dog will let him know he's part of the family
Touch and Physical Affection
Dogs respond to touch. They enjoy pets, hugs and play. Mary Dell Harrington, certified pet therapist in the New York metro area with Pet Partners, advises owners to reach out and touch their dogs to deepen their bond. Harrington recounts how her young daughter grew up around their chocolate lab who enjoyed her gentle caresses, ear scratches and belly rubs. These actions can be as important as toys for your dog's emotional well-being. Dog trainer and author Cesar Millan also emphasizes the importance of affection, specifically when a dog is calm or has just demonstrated good behavior.
Companionship and Outside Excursions
All dogs, especially large breeds, need frequent exercise and time in the outdoors. They also need companionship. Let your dog know he's loved by spending time with him doing activities that contribute to his well-being. Regular walks and playtime will help him physically and mentally, and help you develop a stronger bond. Even if you have a large backyard and amenities for your pooch, you should limit the amount of time he spends on his own. Your dog should spend most of his time with his family to increase his feelings of contentment.
Medical Care and Nutrition
Caring for your dog's physical well-being through regular medical visits and good food is part of responsible guardianship; it's also one way to show your dog you love him. You can take steps to reduce your dog's stress at the vet clinic by bringing along treats and a toy. Going to the clinic for a social visit, to meet with the staff and receive attention, can make the vet a less scary place for your pooch. Reduce his pain by treating any injuries, infections or other discomfort he experiences.
Family Time and Bonding
Dogs are an important part of the family, and family members can reinforce this fact by including them in family events. Harrington describes how her daughter would make a homemade Valentine's Day card for her dog every year. Many families purchase Christmas gifts for family pets as well as for the human members of the family. Taking your dog on vacation, and making provisions for his well-being by bringing his necessary comfort items and securing pet-friendly accommodations, is another way to bond with your pet. Best wishes.

How to Adjust a Dog Whistle
Dog whistles are often used for training dogs. Dogs do not respond to the same sound pitches in the same manner and as a result, you may need to adjust the pitch levels on your dog whistle. Most all whistles come equipped with a screw or knob that will allow you to make adjustments. With a few quick turns, you can find out which setting your dog is most responsive to.
Locate the screw or knob that adjusts the whistle's frequency. The screw is usually located on the top or side of the dog whistle.
Turn the screw slightly and blow through the whistle. You want to perform the adjustment with your dog present as dogs react differently to different pitches.
Stop turning the adjustment screw when your dog exhibits the strongest reaction to the sound coming from the whistle. This will be the optimum setting for training your pet.
Love animal and nature.

How to Care for a Blind Dog
If your dog is blind, you can help him lead a more comfortable life by making sure his living area is consistent. The more predictable your pet's living space is, the easier it will be for him to get around safely. Blind dogs benefit greatly from ample attention and communication, too. Your voice can be useful for helping your pet locate you quickly.
Keep Your Home Environment Safe and Consistent
Minimize your blind dog's chances of stumbling into your sofa, for example, by not rearranging your furniture. Refrain from keeping toys, boxes, shoes and other miscellaneous items where your dog usually walks. If you have any sharp or prickly objects in your home, conceal them carefully using soft insulation.
If you have a swimming pool or hot tub on your property, put up a sturdy barrier that will prevent your dog from accidentally falling in.
Take Advantage of Your Dog's Other Senses
Take advantage of your dog's sense of smell. "Label" the rooms of your residence with memorable scents that can help your pet pinpoint his location. Do the same with the beginnings and ends of your home's staircase. A dab of perfume can be effective for this purpose.
Rugs can also come in handy for blind dogs. Rugs add texture and can help blind dogs identify the various parts of their homes.
Communicate With Your Dog
Communicate with your blind pet in a voice that sounds happy and calming. Speak with your dog frequently. If you're walking toward him and about to pet him, "notify" him before doing so by talking to him. When you walk near your dog, make sure your steps are audible and weighty. The vibrations of your steps will let your pet know that you're on the way. If you want your dog to constantly know where you are, you can even affix tiny bells onto your person.
Keep Your Dog's Spirits High
Dogs occasionally fall into depression due to vision loss. If your dog seems unhappy and is behaving in an antisocial manner, assist him by being as upbeat and cheerful as possible. Take him on regular outdoor walks. Engage him in routine play sessions. Get him stimulating and interactive toys. Doggy toys that are equipped with scents and squeaky sounds can often be beneficial for blind dogs.
Try Clicker Training
If you need to train or housebreak your blind dog, clicker training can make an invaluable tool for you. This training utilizes clicking sounds to inform dogs that what they've just done is good. All you have to do is carry a compact plastic box. As soon as you see your dog eliminating in the grass during an outdoor walk, for example, press the metal tongue on the box. Voila -- your dog will hear a clicking sound. Right after you click the box, reward your pet with a tasty treat. He'll eventually develop a positive association with the click.
