Here’s a fun test: When you’re on a walk, does your dog glance back at you? That split-second look isn’t just checking for treats. It’s a reassurance glance.
It means they consider you part of their team. They’re navigating the world, but they want to make sure you’re still there. “You good? We good? Great.”
This is huge. Dogs who don’t love their owners just pull ahead without a care. The look-back is a little “I love you” over the shoulder.
