Training also builds this bond. A dog listens more to the family member who spends time teaching them. Dogs enjoy learning and reward the person who trains with respect and affection.Even the way a person speaks matters. Dogs respond to gentle voices. If one family member is calm and patient the dog will often stay close to that person.
Dogs love people who share time with them. If one family member plays fetch every evening the dog will wait for that person. Dogs remember little moments and link them with joy.
Touch and affection are key. A dog feels safe when hugged, brushed or petted. If one person does this often then that bond grows stronger.
Dogs do not count how many things someone does. They feel the emotion. Whoever shows kindness daily stays in their heart.

Sometimes a dog simply connects with the person whose nature matches their own. A quiet dog may choose a calm person while a playful dog may stick to someone energetic.
Dogs sense energy around them. They use smell, sound and body language to decide who feels right. This is why they may seem closer to one family member without clear reason.
Dogs also rely on routine. If a person is always present at certain times the dog expects and looks forward to that bond daily.
