There may be many possible causes for your dog to wink at you. You can look at the root cause, and then do something about it.
Below are some reasons that your dog may wink at and how to make it more likely.
Your dog is being submissive
Dogs often consider staring to be an act of aggression. Dogs that keep eye contact with their owners might feel threatened or threatened by you. If your dog blinks and looks away, it will communicate that it is not being aggressive or submissive.
Your dog is having fun
A second possibility is that your dog might be playing. Dogs are more likely to play when they’re being submissive. It is more likely that your dog plays with its tail and rolls around.
Your dog mimics you body language
Dogs can also mimic their owners’ actions. Your dog may be mimicking your body language, but this is less likely. This is more likely if your dog blinks at you right after you blink.
Your dog blinks only
Dogs naturally blink to clean and moisturize their eyes. Your dog may be blinking because it feels like it is doing so naturally. It might also be blinking more often if it isn’t looking at you.
Medical reasons
You could also be experiencing medical issues in your dog’s eye. If your dog is blinking on one eye especially, it could be a sign that there is a problem with the eye. The best thing for your dog is to visit a veterinarian.
