4. Follows Your Lead & Guidance 🧍
As mentioned, like children, dogs learn to use emotional cues from their owners to guide their own behaviour. When a dog finds itself in an unfamiliar situation, it’s likely that it will look up at its owner for comfort and trust that they are there to provide moral support.
This is particularly evident in new environments – remember that dogs look to humans to learn about their surroundings, so if a dog sticks near and looks to you for reassurance, as well as following your lead, you can rest assured they feel trust in your presence.
