For novice pet shovelers, the most difficult thing is to understand the body language of hairy children, especially dogs.
They have rich emotional changes, and they can also observe their expressions and express their feelings and please and flatter.
But they can’t speak, they can only express their emotions through movements and postures. What do they mean? Come and see if you look like your furry child!
Trust and love you
No matter where you go, your dog is willing to follow you, whether it is to go to the bathroom, kitchen or bedroom. This shows that the dog wants to stay in close contact with you and enjoy the time with you.
The belly is the most vulnerable part of a dog. If it is willing to lie down in front of you and show its belly, it is usually a sign of trusting you and an invitation to play or touch it.
Fear, fear, fear
Dogs may make frequent whimpers or howlings, which are their voices to vent their fear and “bring courage” for themselves.
Some dogs will tremble when they feel scared and fear, which means they are so scared that they lose their strength and cannot move that their eyes may avoid them and dare not look directly.
Worried doubt
Dogs will stare at the things or people that cause doubt with a focused and confused look. Their eyes may appear deep and focused, as if trying to understand or interpret the situation in front of them.
In addition, the dog's ears may extend forward or turn slightly to better capture and distinguish surrounding sounds or information. This pose shows that they are working to understand and adapt to the current environment.
Prepare to fight
The dog's eyes will become sharp and focused, looking directly at a potential opponent or threat. Their ears may also be upright to better capture the sound and dynamics around them. This behavior shows that the dog is paying close attention to the surrounding situation and is ready to respond at any time.
Dogs may also roar or growl, which is how they warn each other and show their aggressiveness. Some dogs also expose their teeth and open their mouths slightly to show their sharp teeth and strong bite force.
calm and focused
Dog's eyes will become very focused and bright, and they will stare at the target tightly without diverting their sight. This shows that the dog is completely immersed in what is currently concerned about and almost forgets other things around him.
Secondly, the dog's body posture will also become very stable and almost motionless. They may remain in a standing or sitting position, but either position will appear very stable with no extra movements. This stability shows the dog's concentration and self-control.
Feeling nervous
The nervousness of dogs sometimes causes them to experience some abnormal behaviors, such as excessive licking of the body, frequent scratching of the ground, unable to sit or lie down quietly, etc.
The dog's body may become stiff, and its back is slightly arched, making it seem not relaxed enough. Usually the tail is sandwiched between the legs, or the tail is low and swings very little.
Invite you to play
Dogs wag their tails are usually an expression of excitement and friendly, and when they want to play with you, the frequency of tails may increase and increase in amplitude. It will also show you their enthusiasm and desire to play by jumping. They may jump up and try to lick your face or touch your hands.
Or dogs will communicate with you with their eyes, staring at you with bright eyes, as if telling you that they are very energetic now and want to do something interesting with you.
Expressing needs
Dogs will communicate with you through their eyes and express their needs. For example, they may look at the food or toys in your hands with their eyes, hoping you can share them with them.
The dog's posture and posture can also convey their needs. For example, when they stand and raise their front legs, they may be begging for food or asking for caress.
