Ever wish your dog could talk? Good news—they already do! While we won’t be translating barks into full sentences anytime soon, dogs communicate plenty through body language. The trick is learning how to read the signs.
Tail Talk: A wag isn’t always a sign of happiness. A high, stiff wag might mean alertness or agitation, while a loose, side-to-side swish usually means your pup’s in a great mood.
Ears and Eyes: Perked-up ears can signal curiosity or focus, while pinned-back ears may mean fear or submission. Soft eyes and slow blinks? That’s canine affection at its finest.
The Full-Body Read: A tucked tail, crouched body, or yawning in odd situations can be signs of stress. If your dog often seems on edge, it might be worth evaluating their daily routine—including their nutrition and calming support.
Understanding your dog’s body language isn’t just fascinating—it’s also key to their wellbeing. If your pup struggles with anxiety or hyperactivity, natural behavioral support (like our Calming Chews) can be a great addition to your routine.
