They love you! But it's also a way that they're letting you know that they're likely up for a fun game, activity or walk with you. Giving attention to a dog that's staring at you is definitely better than a dog that's jumping, barking, biting, nipping. Staring is also a way to communicate. The meaning, intensity and purpose can vary from dog to dog. So, if you find your dog is staring you a little longer or more unusually than they normally do, I would go over their essential needs such as food, water, walk and perhaps a quick check-in with your vet to see when their next appointment should be to make sure all is good. I would then also try presenting them with opportunities for social, mental and physical enrichment. If they stop staring after one activity or another, then there's your answer! :)
