Look Into Your Dog's Eyes and Feel Good!
..........
Dr. Stanley Coren ..................... ...
Get the Oxytocin flowing with dog-human eye contact and you and your dog will feel great.
Look into your dog's eyes briefly to get the love chemicals flowing explains Dr. Stanley Coren, Professor of Psychology at UBC, author of many books including 'Do Dogs Dream' & 'Wisdom of Dogs'. The latest results from the Japanese studies started twenty years back show that not only does the human get a shot of all natural feel good chemicals, the dog does too when they briefly look into each others' eyes.
Strangely pet wolves don't get the love vibe from our loving looks the way our pet dogs do and some breeds are simpler to get into the love look than others. Deborah Wolfe asks Dr. Coren about how this works and also what to do when you have a child or dog perhaps a rescue dog where the bond isn't happening; how you can create the eye contact both species crave. Do Strangers benefit the same as owners? The answer might surprise you.
