What Is Your Dog Trying To Tell You?
For dog training to be successful you must be able to
communicate with your dog. To communicate with your dog you need
to know what is on his mind and what he is trying to tell you.
Dogs communicate by using vocal sounds, body postures and facial
expressions. If you don't recognize what your dog is telling
you, you may never be able to communicate. This article will
give you tips and hints for understanding your dog so that you
can more effectively communicate with him.
When your dog lifts his ears and tail and his hackles rise up he
is in an obvious aggressive mode, especially if he also stiffens
his body and walks slowly in a stiff-legged manner. If he raises
his hackles and his lip, but also crouches and tucks his tail he
is both threatened and afraid. He wants to run and fight at the
same time. A calm reassuring tone from you should help ease the
tension.
If your dog slinks close to the ground, wags his tail between
his legs, flattens his ears or rolls unto his back, he is being
submissive and will be agreeable to whatever you want. When your
dog is excited his body may wriggle all over and he may even
roll his lips back in a canine smile.
Pay close attention to your dog, when you see him suddenly close
his mouth and stop panting, he is thinking about doing something
or is focusing on something. You can bet, he'll soon be on the
move... either to take up the great new activity he just thought
of, or to give a closer inspection to what just caught his
attention.
These are just a few quick insights into how your dog's mind
works. Through understanding what your dog is trying to say, you
will learn how to more effectively communicate with him. By more
effectively communicating with him, your dog training efforts
will be much more successful.
