Dog Body Language is very important for communication, if you have sweet puppy. Have you ever thought about why your dog shows you strange murmuring sound on the dinner table? Or why he presses the ears, when confronted with a stranger? What does the dog tone of your voice? Most people do not spend lot of time for understanding about dog, such as wagging tail means “friend” and growl means frown.”But the fact is there are many other signals which you need to understand in order building a healthy relationship with your pet.
Many of our means of communication are not working toward dogs. These tools include sarcasm (to express the frustration), closed gestures (to express feeling uncomfortable), a look of surprise. Thus, to improve communication with our dogs, we need to go back to basic means of communication
Let’s take a further look at these signals are more and more detail, as well as how and why they use when communicating with the dog.
Dogs communicate with their relatives in many ways:
- using verbal signals
- language of the body,
- Expression of the muzzle.
Growl
It means “get away.” You can see how the dog growls when others interested in his food. Your dog may growl at a stranger who he does not like or you when you’re trying to pick up his toys. This is a very effective way of communicating, and it is a signal, which means that you probably can “negotiate” a toy. When the dog takes an aggressive stance and is silent, it is the most dangerous. At that stage, the dog may bite a person.
Grumbling
This usually means that your dog wants something. This is a very interesting sound, as it is a special signal. He knows that if he would bark, he will be punished, but the more “gentle” nagging allows him to get what he wants. For example: if the dog is crazy about chocolate and wants to hear from you sweet little piece of tile. The sound can also be heard when the dog welcomes other dogs or people.
Whining
Dogs whine when they are disturbed or injured. Sometimes they attract attention, and enjoy it. For example, a dog is afraid of thunderstorms.
Whine
That means disappointment. So the dog “complains” to something.
Barking
There are many different types of barking.
- High barking means excitement and happiness.
- Low barking means aggression and possibly threatening.
- Dogs bark to come together to respond to other dogs, to show that they are happy, and to bring people’s attention to the issue.
