Have you ever wondered what your dog is trying to tell you when he looks at you a certain way? Perhaps you have tried to understand what he is saying with his body language. Sometimes it can be hard to guess, but the better we know our dogs, the easier it is to comprehend their behavior. Dogs communicate with one another through body language, so there are some universal actions and positions that most dogs use from time to time. Learning how your own dog communicates can also help you interpret the body language of other dogs.
Knowing how to read your dog's body language is the key to understanding a dog, assessing his attitude, and predicting his next move. Pay close attention to the eyes, ears, mouth and posture - each can help you interpret attitudes such as confidence, fear, happiness or aggression. Not only can you feel more connected with your own dog, you can also help protect yourself and others from potentially dangerous situations. To learn more, read about canine moods and corresponding body language. For more details about what specific actions mean, check out this list of dog communication and appeasement gestures.
