Understanding Dog Behavior: What Your Pup is Trying to Tell You

Your dog speaks — just not in words. Learn to read dog body language to understand their needs. A wagging tail isn’t always happy; fast, stiff wags may indicate agitation. Ears pulled back and yawning can signal stress. Excessive barking, pacing, or chewing might point to anxiety. Dogs also respond to your mood, so calmness from you leads to calmness in them. Strengthen your bond by learning their communication style and responding with positive cues.
