Dogs make very short eye contact with people or other animals, so long stares are a precursor to launching attacks and warnings, but this is mainly for strangers or animals. If it is to the owner, the dog has been using eye contact, it may be because a certain need is not met, such as hunger, want to play ball or Frisbee, etc. The dog will usually make the appropriate guiding action, when hungry will use the poor eyes, look at the owner and then look at the food bowl, or even walk to the front of the food bowl. It is best to have frequent eye contact between the owner and the dog. Some studies have shown that when the dog and the owner look at each other, a large amount of oxytocin is produced, which can make the brain feel happy and enhance the feelings between the dog and the owner. But it does not need to last too long, the best interval, such as petting the dog while affectionate eye contact, will also make the dog more comfortable with the master, and more like the master, especially after the dog’s needs are met by the master.
