Our Pets Mean So Much To Us Animal Lovers, Spending Time With Them Is The Most Rewarding Part Of It All. While We May Spend Hours Talking To Them, We May At Times Just Wished We Could Understand Whatever They May Be Thinking Or Trying To Tell Us. We Did Give You Many Expressions & Here Are A Few More To Help You Comprehend Your Doggy Language

Chasing their tail

You may laugh at your pup for chasing something he will likely not catch. More so, if he does catch it, it is going to be painful! Puppies do this because they do not realize the thing they are chasing is already theirs. Other dogs do this when they are in a confined space or feeling bored. It’s Time To Check you dog for fleas or have his anal glands checked if he does this regularly, it could be a sign of a problem.

Post Bath Energy

If your dog starts running around like a wild animal after she gets a bath, she probably hates being wet and is trying to dry off. She also may be relieved it’s over!

Staying right by your side

Most of us find this dog habit annoying and an invasion of your personal space. You must remember your four-legged family member is innately a pack animal, and desires to be close to his “pack.” That’s you! Learn To Enjoy Their Company

Couch Trashing

If you ever come home to a couch that has been completely ransacked, your pup has separation anxiety. Most dogs get over this eventually, but in the meantime, take the time to walk him and get some of his energy out before you leave him alone.

Low front, mouth wide open and wagging tail

If this happens when you two are playing, it means he is truly having fun and enjoying himself. He is bowing to you as a thank you!

Rocking Horse

Likewise, when your dog makes like a rocking horse and moves from front to back, she is enjoying the current activity and wants it to continue.

Showing empathy

Your dog knows when you are upset, and he most likely wants to comfort you. They have their own ways of doing so, but if you are upset and he is sitting near you watching you, licking you or resting his head on you he is letting you know he is there for you. Dogs can read our body language and they don’t like it when we are upset!

Eating grass

Every dog owner has wondered why dogs do this and if it is normal. The good news is, it is normal. The bad news is they are lacking a specific nutrient in their diet, trying to improve their digestion or maybe trying to treat intestinal worms (worst case scenario). If it is a hot day, they may just be dehydrated.

Eating feces

This one is very repulsive, but don’t worry he will survive! Dogs do this to keep their “territory” clean. They may eat their own, or other dog’s feces because they don’t want to poop where they eat. Mother dogs eat their puppies poo to keep them clean. Just because they won’t get sick does not mean you must let them do this! 

Butt scoot

This one is funny until they are doing it on the carpet! If you see your dog dragging his behind across the ground, he may just have a dirty butt he is trying to clean. This could be an indication of worms or an anal gland problem so keep an eye on him.

Hanging out a car window

This one is very common. She is taking in her surroundings and enjoying the plethora of new scents.
