Why does my dog wink at me?

One theory is that your dog is imitating you - you wink, so your dog winks. Another is that the dog is winking to express affection.

My guess is that the dog winked once, got a positive reaction - saw how delighted you were - and now thinks this is a fun game you two play. Which it is!

That makes sense. Maybe he is training me to do a trick!

This really is adorable. Your dog sounds like a lovable character!

My Brittany/Poodle cross used to wink at us too. I always figured he had something bothering his eye, but it was cute when he did it.

Our lab does this. It is so cute. She looks at us with such live and winks. My father in law was at our house a few years ago and he was in the early stage dementia and he said" hey that dog just winked !" . She still does it and it is so sweet and adorable.

I think so! My pets have me trained very well.

My cat does this when he has an eye infection. Sometimes when we think something is cute, they're usually sick. When our dog kept peeing outside, that wasn't for extra treats, she had a uti.

When a dog winks it means (s)he is communicating happiness or that they like what’s happening. Keep it up!
