Dogs have different ways of showing affection. They may have their own way of expressing their feelings, or you may have — knowingly or unkowningly — trained your dog to express affection in certain ways. How does your dog express its love and respect for you? How does its dog personality affect your dog-human relationship?

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

You can select up to three answers. Come back in a few days and see if the results have changed.
