HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF DOGS THROUGH ACTIONS
-2022/1/26-
The dog's body movements express its thoughts, and it has its meaning to prick up the ears and tail upright. If you carefully observe the dog's movements, you can understand the dog's thoughts. The following article will understand.
1. The ears are raised forward
If the dog's ears suddenly stand up and lean forward, and the whole body exerts force, it means attacking and vigilant. On the contrary, when the ears are down, it is showing obedience and friendliness to the dog of higher status.
Expert reminder: This is a signal like "be a good friend." However, there are dogs whose ears are pressed to their heads when they are afraid.
2. Uneasy or challenging eyes
When a dog stares at other people or other dogs, it means a challenge. Conversely, swiping around with your eyes is a sign of feeling uneasy and wanting to avoid fighting. Even passing glances to comfort the other party has the effect.
3. Licking people's faces to show closeness
The dog sticks out its tongue to lick the human face, expressing obedience and at the same time "please feel at ease", it plays a role in comforting the other party. The desire to have a good relationship is also expressed when licking the face and mouth of the owner and others.
4. Legs express emotions
The legs are taut and open, and the body is lowered slightly forward, in response to an opponent who looks strong, or who is ready to come over for a challenge. Raising one front leg is also a sign of nervousness and unease.
5. Raise hair when nervous
The fur that stands up all over the body has the effect of appearing to be much larger than the actual body. Moreover, according to the aggressiveness and dominance of the opponent, the hair on the back of the neck and the tail stand up when challenging, and the hair on the back stands up when nervous and nervous.
6. The tail is upright and lowered
Generally speaking, when the tail is high and erect, it indicates strong dominance, aggression and vigilance. Conversely, a lowered tail signifies obedience and fear. The tail, tucked tightly between its hind legs, expresses intense anxiety and fear.
7. Be careful when wagging your tail
A tail wagging does not equal happiness, and there is nothing more expressive than a tail! It is wrong to think that a tail wagging means happiness. Some dogs wag their tails so hard that they're actually saying: don't come near me, or the dog keeps staring at the target
Experts remind: The dog stares at the target and slowly shakes its tail, which is a warning. If you get too close, you may be attacked.
8. Smell the surface and be afraid
This action is considered to be a signal that when the dog is afraid of the other party (human or dog), it wants to calm the other party, or the dog wants to tell you what he smells here. The owner can observe more to understand what the dog wants to express signal of.
9. Yawning under pressure
This is one of the most common signs of being under stress. The most common time to see it is in the animal hospital, when the dog feels that the owner is demanding too much, or is taught by the owner during obedience training.
10. Licking your nose to comfort each other
Licking one's nose fast or slow is considered a signal to appease the stranger. And interestingly, black dogs use this move more often than dogs of other coat colors.
Expert explanation: It is because the black dog is less likely to see the facial expressions, and the pink tongue is particularly obvious.
