Dogs have ears, and they love it?
Have you ever noticed a dogs delight when you rub his or her ears? They love it. Its hard not to notice as they lean into your hand looking relaxed and trusting your every touch.
So why do dogs love having their ears massaged?
It's all about nerves. Not the ones they perhaps sometimes get on, but the ones in their ears. Nerves in their ears release endorphins that make your best friend feel relaxed and chilled.
Understanding a dogs Ears?
For years, therapists have targeted ears practicing acupuncture. You may ask why?
Dogs ears contain a network of nerve branches that extend to internal organs, sending impulses throughout the body.
Ear rubs everywhere!
Try it, find your dog rub his ears and you will find he or she will fall into a trance like state or even fall asleep. When you rub your dogs ears they are effectively getting high on their own hormones. That does not mean a dog can be selective on whom they allow to rub their ears.
