Dogs love to be petted, this is one of the ways they receive affection and love from their owners.
The owners, for their part, who see the dog as a member of the family for all intents and purposes, enjoy pampering their dog and returning love similar to the one he gives them.
At the same time, at some point, many dog ​​owners will find themselves wondering if there are areas of the body that the dog would prefer and enjoy more when petted and of course also vice versa, if there are areas of the body that are less pleasant for the dog if petted.
Well, the best way to find out is of course by experimenting and wondering, try and stroke the dog in different areas of its body and watch its reactions - if the dog seems relaxed and does not shy away from being stroked, it means that it is enjoying itself and you can continue to stroke it in that area, on the other hand, if the dog hesitates and moves away from the hand , it is very possible that the action you took makes him feel threatened.
