Reading the Body Language

Dog obedience training is all about communication.  To become a better dog trainer, you should also be able to read the dog’s mood.  Your pet could be tired, stressed, or scared.  Signs like these often require you to cease the training.  Or else your dog will be vulnerable to diseases or present signs of aggression.

Reading the body language involves observing every aspect of your dog.  You monitor the pet’s facial expression, noises it makes, and body postures.  The dog will utilize its tail, mouth, and eyes to express what it feels.  By learning these, you will know what the pet is feelings so you can address its wishes.

The dog’s eye when half closed indicates signs of submission or pleasure.  Eyes wide open indicate aggression.  Never try to outstare your dog when this happens.  The tail is a lot harder to read but generally a wagging tail often expresses pleasure and friendliness.  There is no exact way a dog holds its tail.  This behavior varies from breed to breed.  However, when the dog waves its tail stiffly and slowly, it shows an angry expression.

Dogs often want to play.  It expresses this either by raising a paw, by barking, or by bowing down.  It might also offer a toy or jump over other dogs to instigate a chase.

In general, if your dog is feeling aggressive, it will make itself look larger by standing up with its tails and ears sticking upright.  A submissive dog often does the opposite.  It makes itself look small and behave like a puppy.
