The Look of Love (and Loyalty): How to Tell if Your Dog Actually Respects You
We’ve all seen the "puppy dog eyes" when the treats come out, but true respect in the canine world is about much more than begging for snacks. While your dog might be your best friend, they are also pack-oriented creatures who crave a reliable leader.
Respect isn't about fear or "dominance"—it’s about trust, boundaries, and a deep-seated bond. Here is how you can tell if your pup views you as the worthy captain of their ship.
The "Check-In" Glance
Have you ever been on a walk and noticed your dog looking back at you for no reason? Or perhaps they pause before chasing a squirrel to see what you think?
The Sign: This is a "check-in."
The Meaning: By looking to you, your dog is acknowledging that you make the decisions. They aren't just reacting to the world; they are consulting their leader.
They Respect Your Personal Space
While we all love a good snuggle, a dog that constantly climbs over you, pushes you out of the way, or refuses to move when you’re walking through a doorway might be testing the boundaries.
The Sign: A respectful dog will yield. If you walk toward them, they step aside. If you’re on the couch, they wait for an invitation (or at least don't treat you like a literal footstool).
The Meaning: They recognize your physical presence as something to be honored, not ignored.
They Are Relaxed in Your Presence
True respect comes with a sense of security. If your dog can fall into a deep, belly-up sleep while you’re in the room, you’ve hit the jackpot.
The Sign: Sighing, stretching out, and showing their vulnerable underside.
The Meaning: They trust you to handle any "threats" while they rest. They don't feel the need to be hyper-vigilant because they know you’ve got the perimeter covered.
They Listen the First Time (Mostly!)
We all have "stubborn" days, but a dog that respects you prioritizes your voice over their own impulses.
The Sign: When you call their name or give a "sit" command, they respond promptly—even if there’s a distracting neighbor nearby.
The Meaning: They value your guidance more than the immediate reward of whatever they were doing.
Comparison: Respect vs. Fear
It is vital to distinguish between a dog that respects you and a dog that is afraid.
Feature | Respect | Fear |
Tail Position | Neutral or wagging | Tucked between legs |
Eye Contact | Soft, attentive | Darting, showing "whale eye" (whites) |
Response | Eager to please | Hesitant or cowering |
Body Language | Loose and wiggly | Low to the ground, stiff |
The Bottom Line
Respect is a two-way street. Your dog respects you because you are consistent, calm, and fair. You provide the food, the fun, and the rules. When a dog respects you, they aren't just "obedient"—they are at peace.
Pro Tip: If you want to boost the respect levels today, try a quick 5-minute training session. Working together on a new trick reinforces your role as a teacher and strengthens that invisible leash of loyalty.
