In effetti, la ricerca lo ha scoperto <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/science\/archive\/2015\/10\/genetic-study-writes-yet-another-origin-story-for-dogs\/411196\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cani e umani hanno convissuto l&#039;uno accanto all&#039;altro per decine di migliaia di anni<\/a>, anche se la data esatta in cui \u00e8 iniziata questa relazione \u00e8 sconosciuta. Durante questo periodo, non c&#039;\u00e8 da meravigliarsi se umani e cani hanno formato modi unici di comunicare. Pensalo come ai gesti e ai suoni strani che fai con le persone con cui ti senti veramente a tuo agio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Un esempio di ci\u00f2 sono i cani e gli esseri umani che si guardano negli occhi per comunicare. Scimpanz\u00e9 e lupi non penserebbero mai di farlo, ma per qualsiasi motivo i cani capiscono che il contatto visivo \u00e8 essenziale quando si parla con un essere umano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"human-and-dog-chemistry\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chimica umana e canina<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuttavia, il legame tra uomo e cane non si basa solo sul contatto visivo, abbaia e scodinzolamento. C&#039;\u00e8 anche accarezzare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Osservando cani e gatti, gli esseri umani hanno imparato che le carezze possono stimolare una connessione attraverso il rilascio di ossitocina, l&#039;ormone del legame. L&#039;ossitocina \u00e8 anche responsabile delle connessioni madre-bambino ed \u00e8 il motivo principale per cui le persone si desiderano l&#039;un l&#039;altro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Il contatto visivo con il tuo amato cane da solo pu\u00f2 causare il loro <a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.org\/content\/article\/how-dogs-stole-our-hearts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">livelli di ossitocina per aumentare 130%<\/a>.

Poich\u00e9 i cani e gli esseri umani hanno un legame speciale, ha senso che traggano la stessa gioia dall&#039;essere toccati come fanno gli umani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuttavia, tutto questo dipende da speculazioni. La ricerca non ha approfondito troppo la questione in questione per avere veramente una risposta alla domanda <em>perch\u00e9 ai cani piace essere accarezzati?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ecco alcune possibilit\u00e0:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ottenere un animale domestico fa sentire bene<\/strong>. Chi non ama un massaggio? Un tocco piacevole \u00e8 sempre piacevole e si sente benissimo. I cani e gli esseri umani sono gli stessi in questo senso.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Il contatto fisico aiuta i cani a capire le tue emozioni<\/strong>. I cani sono eccellenti nel comprendere le emozioni umane. Si ipotizza che i cani abbiano lo stesso termometro emotivo delle persone, il che significa che possiamo percepire come si sentono gli altri con il tatto.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Petting \u00e8 una colla che ci lega insieme<\/strong>. Ricordi quel legame madre-bambino? I comportamenti di toelettatura e il tocco aiutano a formare comunit\u00e0 e relazioni.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ci sono benefici per la salute<\/strong>. Simile ad accarezzare un gatto, accarezzare un cane abbassa la frequenza cardiaca, la pressione sanguigna e rilascia buoni ormoni per entrambi!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>I cani e gli esseri umani sono animali sociali<\/strong>. Il tocco aiuta anche gli esseri umani e i cani a fare il check-in con i membri della loro cerchia sociale.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/brown-dog-on-sofa-stockpack-unsplash-900x1200.jpg\" alt=\"cane marrone sul divano che si graffia\" class=\"wp-image-403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/brown-dog-on-sofa-stockpack-unsplash-900x1200.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/brown-dog-on-sofa-stockpack-unsplash-285x380.jpg 285w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/brown-dog-on-sofa-stockpack-unsplash-540x720.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/brown-dog-on-sofa-stockpack-unsplash-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/brown-dog-on-sofa-stockpack-unsplash-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/brown-dog-on-sofa-stockpack-unsplash-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/brown-dog-on-sofa-stockpack-unsplash-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/brown-dog-on-sofa-stockpack-unsplash-1568x2091.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/brown-dog-on-sofa-stockpack-unsplash-630x840.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/brown-dog-on-sofa-stockpack-unsplash-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-do-dogs-feel-when-you-pet-them\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cosa provano i cani quando li accarezzi?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lo sapevi <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.discovermagazine.com\/seriouslyscience\/2014\/09\/03\/shut-pet-dogs-prefer-petting-vocal-praise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">i cani preferiscono essere accarezzati dai loro umani<\/a> invece di lodare verbalmente? Non si tratta sempre del tocco in s\u00e9, ma pi\u00f9 di ci\u00f2 che significa. I cani cercano una connessione e graviteranno verso le persone che danno loro quella connessione rispetto a quelle che non lo fanno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Molto probabilmente il tuo cane equipara la sensazione di essere accarezzato a un massaggio o al coccolare amorevole della madre o dell&#039;amico.

Non limitarti ad aggredire un cane e dare per scontato che gli andr\u00e0 bene. Sebbene la maggior parte dei cani sia abituata a essere strofinata dappertutto, hanno i loro posti preferiti in cui essere accarezzati. La parte superiore del torace, i fianchi, sotto il mento e le orecchie sono i posti migliori per accarezzare un cane. Detto questo, dovresti sempre guadagnare prima la loro fiducia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"go-on-pet-that-dog\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avanti, accarezza quel cane<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perch\u00e9 ai cani piace essere accarezzati?
