10. Leaning on You

When your dog leans their body against you, it’s not just for balance—it’s a sign of affection and trust. Whether you’re standing in the kitchen or lounging on the couch, that lean means, “I feel safe with you, and I just want to be close.” Sometimes it even comes with a little nuzzle or a gentle paw on your lap. Melt alert!
There you have it! If your furry friend shows even a few of these signs, congratulations—you’ve got a happy pup on your hands. Remember, every dog has their own quirks, so learn to read your pup’s unique language of joy. A happy dog is a healthy dog, and what’s better than knowing your four-legged bestie is living their best life?
