Have you ever caught your dog giving you the stare, you know the one. Unblinking. Intense. Slightly spooky… and yet kind of adorable? 👁️🐾 You’re not alone!
In this week’s episode of Paws and Pawsitivity, certified dog trainer Jamie Watkinson-Harvey is unpacking what that intense eye contact really means, and trust us, it’s not about dominance.
From curiosity and communication to consent and connection, this episode takes a closer look at how eye contact helps dogs bond with us, signal their needs, and even express love (yes, really, oxytocin is involved!). Jamie also explains when a stare might signal confusion, discomfort, or a cry for help, and how to respond with kindness, not control.
If you’ve ever felt a little weirded out, or deeply moved, by your dog’s watchful gaze, this episode is for you.
