8 Meaningful Ways to Touch Your Dog That Strengthen Your Bond

Tactile communication or physical contact is a very strong form of communication for dogs; it is a way to communicate safety, affection, and trust. Humans interpret hugs as love, but it is different with pooches, depending upon the pressure and where it is performed. Interacting with your dog in places that they like releases oxytocin, which reduces the amount of stress for you and your dog. Knowing what parts of your dog they enjoy being petted on will help you take a regular dog walk into a valuable bonding time and make you feel even better, all while adding to your dog's emotional health.
