The best place to rub a dog is behind the ears.
Dogs love to have their ears scratched, and it's a great way to show them affection.
Other good places to rub a dog include:
-
The back of the neck: This is a sensitive area for dogs, and they often enjoy being petted there.
-
The chest: Many dogs like to have their chests rubbed, especially if they are feeling stressed or anxious.
-
The belly: If a dog is comfortable with belly rubs, it's a great way to show them affection.
It's important to be mindful of a dog's body language when you are rubbing them. If they are showing signs of being uncomfortable, such as tail-tucking, lip-licking, or yawning, then stop rubbing them immediately.
Always ask the dog's owner for permission before petting their dog.
