Why Do Dogs Like Belly Rubs?
Most dogs seem to really love having their belly petted, but is there a psychological reason for it? Dr. Stanley Coren, Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of British Columbia and author of How to Speak Dog, tells the American Kennel Club dogs like belly rubs because it's another form of connection.
“For some dogs, a belly rub is simply a variant of being petted. It is a form of social contact," Dr. Coren says. "The fur on the belly is usually less dense and softer, so the sense of being touched is less muted.”
Not all dogs are fans of belly rubs , the site says. Those bred to be guardians can sometimes see the act as aggression while others simply prefer other ways of bonding. Though, adult dogs are known to roll on their backs to show puppies and even toddlers it's time to play, since it's known "as a signal for submission when they are afraid or threatened.”
Every dog is different so if your pup doesn't offer the same chance Pancake does, don't force it. They just might prefer a different type of affection.
