Dogs trust you because of the strong connection you share with them. Since this bond is built on trust, dogs and their owners, who have a close relationship, are more enjoyable to be around. They experience less frustration with each other and have better success with training.
During interactions, both people and dogs make eye contact, which releases hormones that facilitate bonding. Take Redditor u/Honest_Situation_438, for instance, whose boyfriend formed a strong connection with a dog they were temporarily housing, even though they couldn't keep the dog permanently.
