Understanding Canine Body Language: Signs of Dog Communication and What They Mean (Tail Wagging, Ear Positioning, Facial Expressions, Posture, and Vocalizations)
Interpreting your dog’s body language can unlock a deeper understanding of their emotions and needs. Tail wagging, ear positioning, facial expressions, posture, and vocalizations all play a role in conveying messages. For instance, a relaxed, open-mouthed expression with soft eyes signals contentment, while flattened ears and a tucked tail indicate fear or submission. By paying attention to these subtle cues, you can strengthen your bond with your furry friend and respond appropriately to their communication signals.
