Some dogs will patiently tolerate being patted on the head, but in the canine world this gesture is usually a sign of dominance, aggression or intimidation. It is far more comfortable for most dogs to be stroked under the chin, on the face, or on the chest. These types of contact can also build up the confidence of a shy or frightened dog.
