The body language of dogs

Our furry friends accompany us every step of the way, and we often wonder what they're thinking. Our dogs' communication goes far beyond simple growls and barks, and understanding their body language is essential to understanding the message your furry friend is trying to convey and building a strong relationship. These are some of the gestures that will help you interpret what your furry friend is trying to convey.

  • Tail: The tail tells us how the dog is feeling. If the dog is feeling fearful or anxious, its tail will be between its legs, high and stiff, or low and constantly moving. On the other hand, if its tail is still or high and moving quickly, the dog is feeling relaxed or happy. It's important to observe its tail to understand its mood.
  • Gaze: Eye contact is another factor that gives us a lot of information. A gentle, direct gaze indicates confidence, but if the dog turns its head and avoids your gaze, it may be showing discomfort and wants to avoid trouble.
  • Body Posture: A dog's posture expresses its intentions. A sitting dog shows calmness; if it shakes, it wants to release stress; if it shrinks, it shows fear; and if it crouches, it feels distrustful. If it's on a leash and leans back, what you want it to do is something it absolutely doesn't want. Oh! And if your dog bows, it's a basic invitation to play.

If your dog is feeling very stressed and needs to reduce its nervousness, we recommend MindKun. This supplement helps promote a sense of calm and well-being in your dog.

Remember that by understanding body language, we not only understand its messages, but we also strengthen our bonds and that special connection we maintain. So, the next time you observe your furry friend, pay attention to those gestures that reveal the thoughts and emotions they are feeling.
