Do dogs like belly rubs?
(@dogtrainerbri/)
There are many ways you can show your dog how much you love him, and carols and caresses are some of them.
We often assume that when a dog rolls on its back and kicks its legs it means it is asking for a tickle or belly rub, but this is not always the case.
Dog behavior analyst and dog trainer Adam Femi, who works with the natural dog food company in Arking Heads, explained what this behavior really means.
According to him, there are a variety of reasons why dogs lie on their backs and kick their legs in the air: "The behavior of turning over and exposing the belly often begins as a form of submission, since this position is a submissive position in the body language of dogs. We humans often see this as an invitation to stroke their bellies of the dog, as if the dog is "asking" it from us by getting into this position. It is true that many dogs enjoy being petted in this area, and if this is the case the dog will quickly learn that he gets affection when he rolls over and as a result the behavior will continue."

Why do dogs like belly rubs?
In the end it's all about the hormones of happiness.
Adam explains: "Petting and grooming our dogs can stimulate the hormones that make the dog feel good (and ours!) and in turn, can increase the bond between the dog and the owner. Some dogs will turn to belly rubs only with trusted family members, others may be are safer and repeat the same action expecting to receive a belly rub even from people they don't know that well."
Do all dogs enjoy this behavior?
Not sure.
Some will feel uncomfortable when you touch their stomach, and it is important to read their body language and try to understand their mood.
"It is important to remember that not every roll of the dog means that he wants to be touched. It may be his way of communicating and maybe they are also expressing fear this way, and if this is indeed the case, they must not be petted. You should think about this if the dog seems in a bad mood after you have petted him." .
