Read your dog’s body language considering these 8 easy signs…

I know that some of you might get confused while trying to understand your dog’s body language. Even though if you give it a little bit  of time you can tell easily what your dog is trying to communicate through their body language. But why wait? I can tell you right now that some of the most common body languages can easily get defined through 8 signs. The following pictures will make you familiar with each and every single one of these signs. Just keep scrolling the pictures one by one, and when you are done reading this post, you will become a pro in understanding dog’s body language.

#1- Playfulness

If your dog wants to play with you, then this is how they will give you the signal. So once you see your dog standing like this, don’t hesitate to jump in and start a good game with your four legged buddy. 

#2- Total Submission

Once your dog gets this position, then they are all yours. They have surrendered to you. In this case you are more than welcome to pet them, massage them, and even play with them as you want. 

#3- Fearful and Worried

Your dog might be scared of something or someone. So please make sure to make your dog feel secure, and comfortable, in order to prevent any unpleasant event. 



#4- Stressed or Distressed

Your dog is going through some social or environmental stress. IF you have any idea what might have caused the stress, then try to avoid it. 

#5- Fearful and Aggressive

Once you see your dog in a situation like this, make sure to calm them down. You don’t want your beloved pooch do something wrong. 

#6- Dominant Aggressive

This is when your dog is trying to let the others (dogs, humans) know that they can dominate the situation they are in. In this case your dog might act aggressively if challenged.  


#7- Alert

In this case your pooch is getting familiar with everything around it. 

#8- Relaxed

Your dog is chilled, and the only worry you should have is to find them something fun to do.
