8:096 Rare Behaviors Dogs Show Only When They Fully Trust You
Save referenceIdentity & Self-Relevance
Owners want proof their dog truly loves them, and 'Rare' makes the list feel like a test. The dog is turned away from Tom, which looks like indifference. But the green glow marks the lean against his leg, and you wonder if yours does it.
'Rare' and 'Only When They Fully Trust You' turn a list of dog behaviours into a test owners can pass or fail, so they click to score their own dog.
The green glow and red arrow pick out a detail you'd miss, the dog pressed against his leg, and ACTUALLY speaks to owners who aren't sure their dog loves them.
When your list is about signs people hope to see, show one sign happening with an arrow or highlight on the easy-to-miss detail. Let the title call the signs rare, so viewers feel they're checking their own case.
Highlight a sign people hope for, and make it rare.
