How to Get a Dog to Like You?

The main way to get a dog to like you is through regular contact. Beyond daily feeding and watering, occasionally give your dog its favorite treats. After a while you can feed it by hand, helping the dog get familiar with your scent and understand that you pose no threat.

Since most dogs are playful and enjoy interacting with people, spend more time playing with your dog. Play small games like tug-of-war or frisbee to quickly win its favor. Finally, praise, pet, and call your dog by name in a gentle voice so it feels your love and likes you more.
