How to understand what your dog wants to tell you?

By what actions of the dog can you understand what he wants at the moment? We have collected some of the most common signals that pets usually give to their owners.

tail wagging

The most obvious gesture that everyone knows: if a dog wags its tail, it means that it is happy with something or someone.

Grin and growl

Here, too, everything is very clear: now it is better not to approach the dog.

Barking and jumping

This is how the pet attracts your attention and invites you to play or walk. It is also usually accompanied by running around the owner and wagging the tail.

Sideways glance and grin

Usually this behavior happens during meals – in this way the pet shows you that you should not touch his bowl.

Head tilt, ears and tail flattened

This is the most humble posture. Perhaps the pet did something while you were away from home, and is worried that you will punish him for it.

Flip belly up

The pet invites you to pet it and shows you complete trust.

Pricked ears and hidden tail

Sometimes accompanied by whining. So, now the dog is scared, something scared her. Try to calm her down.

Tilt to floor or ground

With this gesture, the dog calls you to play – do not ignore her request!
