Animal communicator shares three key signs your dog truly loves you | UK | News

An animal communicator has shared the three key signs your dog truly loves you – and it’s music to every pet owners’ ears.

Danielle, who has worked as a pet psychic for 20 years, works to bridge the gap between owners and their animals to help them better understand each others thoughts and feelings.

In a TikTok video, she has shared signs every owner can watch out for to know what their pets truly think about them.

She starts: “First, they feel comfortable looking you in the eye and doing nothing else. It’s a gentle stare and it feels awesome.

“Second, they like to touch you but in that touch they’re also okay not facing you. It means they trust your energy.

“Third, and this is the most important one, and if you don’t get this one your dog, cat, horse, guinea pie doesn’t love you doesn’t love you.

“Well, this third one is, they do love you. They have mastered unconditional love, it’s just sometimes their love looks different to what yours looks like.”

It comes after Dr James Greenwood, resident vet on ITV’s The Pet Show, shared the tell-tale signs you’re the ‘favourite’ – and the best ways to strengthen this bond between you and your pet.

According to Dr Greenwood, you only need to look at your dog’s tail to know whether you’re its ‘favourite human’.

He said: “It’s all about the tail with dogs! They can express a whole range of emotions through their tail wag. Whilst it’s important to note not all tail wagging is a sign of happiness, there are two types that signal pure joy in our dogs.”

“Secondly, the helicopter tail wag is usually reserved for those who are viewed as especially important. Finally, that super excited greeting when you get back from leaving the house – the jumping and licking, sometimes they may bark or bring you a toy – is a genuine signal that they are pleased to see you.”

But this isn’t the only sign as dogs may select their ‘favourite’ owner as their snuggle buddy when sitting on the sofa late at night. Dr Greenwood says if your pet wanders over to you on their terms, it’s a clear sign they love you and trust you’ll keep them safe while they get some rest.

When it comes to improving your bond with your pet, Dr Greenwood simply recommends spending time with them. He added: “A daily walk is essential; dogs love using their senses to smell and explore and need to burn off calories exercising. I would also suggest setting up an obstacle course or using puzzle feeders to get them thinking and problem-solving.”

“Food is also a big motivator for dogs and you can use this to your advantage when training by using treats as a reward for good behaviour.”

Owners took to social media to share their own ways to “tell a dog has chosen you as their person”. One Reddit user said: “My oldest dog was actually adopted for my son, but she has definitely chosen me as her person.

“She comes to me for comfort when she’s scared, she sleeps in my bed, and gets extremely jealous when our cats and younger pup try to be near me.

“Our younger dog sings the craziest song whenever she sees my daughter’s cat pull into our driveway. She acts like my daughter has been gone for a year, and rears up on her little hind legs, puts her paws together, and prances when she sees her come in the door. It’s heartwarming.”
