Best Answer

The reason dogs want there belly's rubbed is because it shows them you love them and you trust and care for them.

However if you don't rub your dogs belly they might think

other wise like they don't love me or care for me.

Dogs like getting rubbed on their hips because it is the only place that they cannot scratch themselves. It feels really good to them. It's just like someone scratching an intch on your back that you cannot reach.

When a dog rolls over and shows its belly humans think it's cute and tickle the dogs belly but the dog does it to show that he trusts you.
