Any dog trainers or behaviorists, I’d love your input!
In the past few years, my dog has developed a habit of laying on my chest when I’m on the couch. She wags her tail when I talk to her and stretches if I grab her paws, then buries her head in my neck.
It’s adorable, but I want to make sure this behavior means she’s happy and not something else.
She is getting older, and I just want to ensure her well-being. Is this just a sign of affection, or could it indicate a need or issue?
, she loves smelling your pheromones. My guess is, your pet loves you and her laying on you is a way of showing trust, affection, loyalty, and love. Dogs are really incredible and lovely.
