This is why I don't walk into shelters. Because I know myself. I would leave with six cats.

Why in the actual fuck is this post being downvoted. Doesn't matter if it's a repost. This is quality. Especially in today's dumpster fire.

Because the way this is presented is a lie. This is a volunteer at an adoption event, not the dog's new owner.

My dog won't look me in the eyes that long he always breaks eye contact after a few seconds. Is that a dominance thing?

6 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 1

Yeah he's deferring to you. Note: "Alpha" theory was retracted even by the original researcher, dominance isn't that clear cut in canines.

My wife had our German Shepherd look her in the eyes every night before she would put her food bowl down. She lost her shyness.

6 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

True. Pack hierarchy is much more important.

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Sorry I don't think I quite understand your comment. He isn't averting his eyes because of alpha theory? He is defering instead?

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

He IS deferring to you by averting his eyes, but the reasons for that and how it works are much more nuanced than the old "alpha" theory.

6 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Looking you in the eyes for too long would be a challenge, in dog language. By looking away he's acknowledging that you're in charge.

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Please feel free to dm me if it's easier to explain without character restrictions.

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It's also a confidence thing. The last rescue was a feral male pit off the streets (i rescued him myself) and he'd break eye contact quickly

6 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

As I trained him, desensitized him and loved him, he slowly started staring into my eyes more and more. One day he looked at me like this

These are all signs of comfort and trust, the dog is actively putting itself in a position of closeness and open to physical contact.

And no excessive lip licking or yawning... probably another one thay works for humans too.

There's a small grain of truth to that. Some dogs feel uncomfortable when being stared at for too long and it's because some dogs do 1/?

stare before attacking. That being said, dogs do stare and give eye contact to people for other reasons too. You just got to pay 2/?
