Tail wagging

Tail wagging is the most common action that dogs do. Generally speaking, as everyone thinks, tail wagging is a dog's way of expressing happiness and excitement. But after years of research by veterinarian Xiao Ming, he discovered that! Knock on the blackboard! Here comes the key point! When the dog is wagging its tail, if it lifts up and swings to the right, it means that it is in a happy state; however, if it swings to the left quickly, it means that they are in a state of anxiety and anger. At this time, please stay away immediately ! Of course, veterinarian Xiao Ming won’t stop anyone who doesn’t want to live or is looking for bites! When a dog hangs its tail down and sticks to its butt, it means that it is full of vigilance and anxiety, which is usually the case with stray dogs. When a stray dog ​​wags its tail between its legs, it means it is on guard but wants to show you kindness.

Barking

Barking is also a behavior that dogs use to express their emotions and want to communicate. But different barks have different meanings. After veterinarian Xiao Ming has paid attention to the sounds of dogs for many years, he has studied it... (I'm just kidding, no one will hit me!) One or two short, sharp barks are a way of saying hello, and dogs usually bark like this when they meet a partner when they go out. Gradually the barking becomes louder and more exciting. Some dogs will bark excitedly like this when they go out to play! Commonly known as, dogs come crazy! Continuous barking is a warning that dogs are in trouble: someone has invaded our territory! Barking continuously, but slowly: an intruder is approaching and is ready to fight. This is a warning to the intruder. The long, uninterrupted barking, the barking of a dog after being locked up, means that I am lonely and I need a companion. A series of screams is a dog's reaction to severe fear and pain. A soft, low-pitched bark, a threat that means: Don’t come any closer or I will bite you! A louder and longer whine is a sign of sympathy and is usually made when a dog is waiting for food.

Ears

Ears are a limb that convey subtle psychological changes in dogs. Different shapes and postures indicate different meanings. Erect ears: Dogs with erect ears are usually concentrating in order to hear sounds clearly. They are paying full attention to a certain sound, and they are also searching for enemies and discovering interesting things. For an aggressive dog, erect ears may be a question or warning to a specific target. Ears suddenly stand up: When a dog feels threatened or provoked, its ears will suddenly stand up and become stiff, which is a signal that it is about to attack. At this time, as the master, it’s time for you to comfort the little guy. Put your hands around its head and gently stroke its back to relax it! The hair around the ears stands up: When a dog is scared, all the hair around the ears will explode forward and become clear. But it may also be a sign of aggressive action, indicating that the dog is preparing to attack. When you are out walking your dog and you encounter a dog like this, pull the leash immediately! Ears tilted forward: This is often the caseWhen being praised or winning in a battle with the same kind, it is a way to show off and show one's majesty and high spirits. Sticking behind the ears: When encountering a tough opponent, it means showing favor or weakness to the opponent. Ears pulled back tightly: This is a sign of a dog that is nervous or facing a threat, and may attack or run away!

Paw scratching

Most of the time when a dog scratches the ground, it is because its nails are too long and it is grinding its claws; but if there is water on the ground where it scratches, it means it is trying to get rid of the water. Expand the area and then lie on it to cool down. Another reason is that dogs have sweat glands on the bottom of their feet, and the fluid secreted here can emit dog smell. When the dog rubs his paws on the ground, he can stay on the ground more. In addition to using urine and feces, it is another way for dogs to mark their territory.

Butt rubbing

The most common cause is obstruction and inflammation of the dog’s anal glands. There is an anal gland on each side of the dog's anus. When the dog defecates, the anal glands secrete special substances that act as a lubricant. When the anal glands are blocked, it will make it difficult for the dog to defecate and cause pain in the anus, so the dog will rub its butt on the ground. When a dog has gastrointestinal discomfort and loose stools, the hair around the anus feels itchy and instinctively rubs on the ground; after eating bones, the stool is dry and hard, and the anus is squeezed during defecation, causing inflammation, anal itching or If the dog feels pain, it will rub its buttocks; due to eating unhygienic water or meat products, parasites will appear in the dog's body, which will be excreted into the anus and cause itching, so it will rub its buttocks.

Tongue sticking out

The main reason why dogs stick out their tongue is heat. Dogs are born without sweat glands and can only cool down by sticking out their tongues. When your dog sticks out its tongue and pant particularly loudly, it needs to be rehydrated immediately. When dogs are extremely excited and excited, they will also stick out their tongues. At this time, sticking out their tongues means to "calm down" themselves! When they sleep, they stick out their tongues. Well, don't worry. They sleep peacefully and may be dreaming about big bones or something.

Exposing the belly

The belly is the most vulnerable part of the dog. The dog will only expose the belly after getting familiar with the owner. This proves that the dog trusts you and is catering to you. If you gently stroke its belly at this time, it will be very happy! When fighting with your companions, exposing your belly means begging for mercy, which means: you are willing to surrender, and exposing your breasts and belly is proof of this! Lying on the ground, rolling around with your belly exposed, and opening your mouth and sticking out your tongue is a way of coquettishness for a dog, begging you to pet it. In addition to trust and coquettishness, exposing your belly is also a signal to ask for forgiveness! When the master is angry, he pretends to be stupid and innocent, acting cute and shameless to win the master's sympathy and forgiveness.

Tilting their heads

Many people think that dogs tilting their heads is a sign of their cuteness. Yes, this action of the dog can indeed make people cute, but in fact, the dog tilts its head because it is thinking about you.Expressions and eyes to guess your emotions. You can try making your hands into fists and placing them in front of your nose to imitate a dog's long nose. At this point you will understand what a dog’s field of vision looks like. Because their long nose blocks their view, they have to tilt their heads to see your entire face. (A high nose bridge is also guilty, haha!) In addition, tilting the head is to hear the sound more clearly and to determine the source of the sound.

Licking

Many dogs like to lick people, especially some large dogs. If they suddenly lick you when their mouth is full of saliva, the feeling is really... I believe many poop scavengers can understand it. Dog licking is influenced by the dog's mother, because the mother will lick the newborn dogs to help them clean and groom them. This loving gesture is a natural sign that your dog loves you. When a dog is really bored, it will lick you to attract your attention and want you to play with it. When dogs lick people, their brains will release amine polyphenols. This puts them in a good mood. Licking people is also a sign that your dog is hungry, reminding you that it is hungry or thirsty! It thinks you taste good, and your salty and sticky sweat actually tastes good to it; or if you just finished eating and there is a residual smell on your mouth, the dog will want to lick it after smelling it.

Sniffing each other

Studies have proven that dog noses are 10,000-100,000 times more sensitive than human noses. When a dog sniffs another dog’s butt, it is actually collecting important information about the other dog. When you take your dog out for a walk, when they meet a companion, they will run up and sniff each other's butt. This is how dogs identify and obtain information about each other by smelling the anal glands. But some dogs are more "arrogant" and don't want others to know their "identity", so they will spin around, escape and dodge the other person's nose.
