When stimulated, these terminations send impulses to the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland, which leads to the release of endorphins -The same hormones responsible for the feeling of well-being in humans, for example, during exercise.
Our ears also have many nerve endings, which is also why, for many humans, ears are up to an erotic point of the body.
But returning to dogs: the ears zone is even used in alternative therapies, such as the acupuncture or acupression, because it form a kind of “Body Map” that can be worked to promote balance and health.
Dr. Allen Schoen, alternative veterinary therapies expert Allen Schoen guarantees what, when receiving parties in the ears, dogs come in almost a “trance”, Of deep relaxation and satisfaction.
And you do parties on your dog’s ears, continue, because it also reinforces the emotional connection with each other and your best friend.
However, not all dogs react the same way. Many dogs are selective about those who allow contact with their ears. The touch on the head and the ears is related to dominance behaviors and submission in the canine world.
