When my dog hugs me, he hops up on my bed and stands on his hind legs. He wraps his paws around my neck and squeezes and it's super duper cute! If we don't hug him he barks and whines until we do.

Dogs are thinking, "Sure we love our humans. But humans are animals and animals can be unpredictable."

At least she acknowledges that some dogs DO enjoy hugs and such.

My dog loves being hugged. When I walk in from work, she jumps up and wraps her legs around my legs. If I bend down and hug her, she lays her head against me shoulder and presses her head into me, she loves it and does it back.

She is completely right. If I hug my dog tightly he seems scared like " human ...what you doing", but as soon as I open my arms more he immediately starts licking my face and is very happy.

My dog LOVES hugs - he insists on them! If he got his way he would be hugged all day long, every day. He thrives on human affection.

OK so why do dogs feel so much better in thunder shirts? those hold them tight basically and make them feel secure in times of stress firework going off and thunder etc!
My dogs all love to be hugged they do not pull away or stiffen etc they love it and the little one who was born on and spent around 6 years living on the streets of Romania yet she now demands affection.
You should always teach your child to respect the dogs space and not to run up to unknown dogs etc that is good parenting and much safer for you child and pet as well as strangers pets.

I'm a professional dog trainer. This dog behaviorist is 100% right. My dog will accept affection from us, but not from people he doesn't know.

This is why I taught my dog to hug on cue and if she doesn't want to, I don't make her. Just ask her to do something else 😜 But most of the time she'll give hugs

My dog hugs me back. He is a miniature weenie dog. He isn't aggressive in the least bit with me. My dog is a human on the inside. Lol. "DOGS ARE PEOPLE TOO."

But my dogs love to be hugged Just remember every dog is an individual and the same boundaries rules are not the same for every individual

My buddy boy loves to be hugged. Well, he has a special way of hugging me. He rests his head against me (while im standing up) and wants me to scratch the side of his head. I love and he does too!

My dog absolutely LOVES cuddles and hugs and kisses (so does my grandmas pit bull and my aunts bull dog). He will cuddle with anyone as soon as they sit down. He's little and climbs on laps and sleeps and gives lots of kisses. He's a miniature pincher and they typically don't like babies and small kids but when both of my baby cousins were born he crawled right up to them and gave them kisses. He also loves when my small cousins come over. He loves to run and play with them and chase them around and gives them kisses all over and he'll even pretend his little rope is a squirrel and he's protecting them if someone yells out "squirrel!". I think it all depends on how you raise your dog. We were always sticking our hands in his face and food when he was a puppy, we carried him and snuggled him and squished his little face and he was fine with it and sometimes thought it was fun and even today he still reacts the same. I can grab every one of his paws without an issue and touch his food whenever and he has no problems. I don't think it's a spectrum if you raise your dogs to know that you are in charge of the "pack".

I grew up with cats and loving them ( giving hugs and kisses ) and I tried kissing my dogs face the first time I met him. And I got bit . It’s good to teach your kids what that doctor was saying .
