Why do dogs like their owners?

Dogs like their owners because they are treated well by their owners. Dogs are very affectionate towards people who treat them well. Secondly, dogs have lived with their owners since childhood and will treat their owners as the closest people. Usually the owner will be very excited when he comes home, and will follow the owner wherever he goes. These are ways for dogs to express their love.
For puppies, the time to develop sociality is from the 4th to 12th week after birth. During this period, it is very important to deepen the communication between the puppy and people. If the puppy is isolated at this time, it will become timid and difficult to get used to contact with people.

Dogs that have always lived in groups have a strong instinct for collective living. Therefore, dogs will feel that the family they live with is the group they belong to. Dogs are used to acting in groups and will obey people who are stronger than themselves or the leader of the group. This plays a big role in the shared life of humans and dogs.

After humans learned that dogs were accustomed to being with people and would obey their orders, they began to take them hunting together. Dogs have sensitive hearing and sense of smell and can detect prey first, and can also chase or bite prey. They help humans a lot during hunting.

After this, humans began to actively breed dogs, selecting dogs that were more approachable and capable, and devoted themselves to their breeding. Humans also use training to make dogs more and more widely used.
