A dog is always in constant communication with its human family and the truth is that they generally make themselves understood quite well, so much so that many times we consider that they just need to talk.

10. Balanced Love
Your dog can continually show you through his body language that he loves you, he wants to take care of you, and he wants to be with you. And truly, few animals love as much as dogs do.
It is obvious that for your dog to be happy you must return this love and let him know that you love him tooJust as we are able to perceive the affection of our dog, do not doubt that they also perceive the manifestations of our love very easily.
This does not imply that we should only give love to the dog, since the dog needs much more, but of course, love is essential.
