My dog is obsessed with having his paws rubbed and held. He loves sitting back and giving us both his paws and he just sits there and almost falls asleep. It’s so cute! And I haven’t seen it anywhere else that their dog finds their paws being rubbed and held so calming as I know a lot of dogs find that a no go area. It’s almost like me holding his paws makes him feel safe and protected? They’re interesting creatures but so cute haha.

The base of the tail and rump is an erogenous zone on dogs and cats so no wonder they love it and try to encourage more lol this is somewhere I avoid but love giving my dogs neck shoulder and back massage it is very relaxing for them and me

My 4 year old Stuffle (Half Jack Russell and Half Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Looks like a giant Jack Russell) loves it at the base of her head in front of collar. If you scratch and rub gently she will start to go to sleep and if you stop will paw your hand to do it again.
The funniest bit is if she is standing in front of the sofa and puts her head on it and you do it, she will happily fall asleep standing up….until she goes to fall over to which she will climb up, put head on your lap and “command” you carry on.
Also loves her backside above the tail done. It gets amusing when you are brushing her there she will push her backside into you as if to say yeah now carry on I want more!
There pretty much isn’t anywhere she doesn’t like to be scratched or petted.

I heard somewhere that gently scratching the upper palate in a dog’s mouth helps the dog feel a sense of trust. Even as I type this it seems ridiculous to me! Do you have any thoughts on this or do you want to forget I asked?

My dog loves it when I rub her chest and right under her front legs. She also likes it when I scratch behind her ears

My jackrussel bichon frisée loves an itch all around her neck area, and a soothing rub from her nose up to the gap between her eyes and when she was a puppy she used to shake her leg frantically whenever I scratched her back (sooooo adorable!!!!)
