2. For a Strong Bond, Talk to Your Dog and Tell Your Dog How You Feel

How do you show your dog you love them, you ask? The answer is relatively simple. Talk to them! As research shows, dogs tend to process language almost the same way as humans. From body language, like facial expressions, gestures, and movements to verbal language like word choice, tone of voice, and volume level, our language is carefully processed by dogs into their 'dog language.'

If you use baby talk with your dog, you can actually strengthen your bond and understanding.

However, be cautious. Dogs are very sensitive, and if what the dog's ear hears does not match the words you speak, you may confuse your pet.

For example, don't scold your dog in a saccharine voice or deliver positive reinforcement in a stern voice. If you're unsure if your communication is effective with your dog, check for reactions

Understanding Dogs' Body Language: From Baby Talk to Training Sessions

A satisfied, content, or otherwise happy dog will typically display common behaviors and body language. These behaviors may come in clusters and include:

• Eye contact
• Tail wagging
• Ear perking
• Eyebrow raising

Sometimes, your dog's ears may perk or eyebrows raise out of confusion. If you aren't effectively communicating, your pet may assume something inaccurate. For instance, dogs may think you're taking them out for a walk or to use the bathroom when you're just getting up to go to the fridge.

Try to remain aware of your facial expressions, eye contact, tone of voice, word choice, voice volume, and more. Dogs often rely on first instinct, so if you accidentally communicate an emotion you're trying to hide, they may know.

3. Show Dogs Love Through Luxury Beds, Cozy Blankets, and Comfortable Crates

We, humans, love good sleep, but our dogs may love it even more. Your canine companions will adore these sumptuous, functional, and durable sleeping arrangements. Sit back and behold the change in dog body language as your pet curls up on a shaggy dog bed or drifts off to sleep on a velvet Soho mattress.

From ivory dog bed pods to suede cup beds and plaid Kuddler lounges, your pet will never lose sleep again! While you're at it, give your dog's bed a wash and dry so that your pup feels even more comfortable with its newfound fluffiness.

A Range of Luxury, Adaptive Beds and Sleeping Aids for Your Dog

Need plush crate mats and pads for when your dog or dogs need to be locked in for a while? Your dog will love their ultra-soft fleece, flannel, cashmere, faux fur, and Sherpa-lined accessories.

4. Communicate Doggie Love Through Physical Touch & Interaction

What dog doesn't love a good belly rub, pat, or scratch? Not only are these physical connections good for showing affection, but they can also relieve pain and provide mental stimulation. If you time your physical touches with commands, for example, you can reinforce certain desired behaviors.

Done consistently and with simple adjustments, this can form neural networks in the brain of your dog that are important for appropriate functions.

Whether you want to know how to show your dog you love them or simply want to establish certain boundaries and behaviors, there are many ways to communicate physically with your dog.

The Importance of Reading Aloud with Your Dog

Dogs love hearing our voices as much as kids do, so feel free to grab your favorite storybook, cuddle up with your dog, and let the education and affection flow. Provide different expressions and tones of voice to strengthen the connection.

Look your dog in the eyes as well and be sure to reciprocate any positive gaze. Lean against your favorite furry friend as you do so, further intensifying the human-animal connection. Hey, they're called (hu)man's best friend for a reason!

Feeling tired? Take a nap with your pet, give him or her a nice rub down, kiss 'em, or even better, stroke the ears. Teeming with nerves, a dog's ears are highly sensitive.

Want the quickest way to a dog's heart? Take your two fingers and gently rub the top of the ears. This is a great way to show affection and love.

5. Get Your Dog Some Delicious New Treats

Dogs live to eat (surprise), so it's no wonder that their tags wag wildly when you come home with a fresh new offering of snacks. Whether bagged treats, boxed treats or specially ordered gourmet treats, a hearty selection of doggie goodies is never a bad idea.

Of course, finding the right edibles for your dog is not always easy. Some dogs have health issues or sensitivities. Some are stubborn and picky.

No matter the situation, you should always choose wholesome, clean, and yummy treats that your dog will love.
