Dogs, loyal companions, win people's hearts with their intelligence and liveliness. Although speechless, it conveys emotions and needs with rich body language, allowing the owner to understand his inner world and weaves a warm love affair with people together.
Dogs can express their meaning with movements and barking, but many times we do not fully understand, what do we rely on? Guess it!
1. Waving the tail
Waving the tail is the most common movement that dogs do. Generally speaking, as everyone thinks, wagging your tail is a dog expressing happiness and excitement.
But after years of research by veterinarian Xiao Ming, it was discovered! Knock on the blackboard! The key point is here!
When the dog wags its tail, it raises upwards and swings to the right, which means it is in a happy state; but if it swings quickly to the left, it means that they are in a state of anxiety and anger. At this time, please stay away immediately! Of course, a dog who doesn't want to live or is looking for a bite to hang its tail down and press its butt to indicate that it is full of alertness and anxiety, which is usually the case with stray dogs. When a stray dog sways with its tail between its legs, it shows that it is on guard but wants to show goodwill to you. Kind, if you have food and drinks on you at this time, you might as well order it out!
2. Barking
Barking is also an act of dogs expressing emotions and wanting to communicate.
One or two sharp and short barking sounds are greetings, and usually the dog will call out like this when he meets a partner when he goes out.
gradually barking high and excitedly, and some dogs bark excitedly when they go out to play! Commonly known as dogs come crazy!
The continuous rapid barking is the dog sending an alarm: There is something wrong, someone has invaded our field!
barking continuously, but it is slow: the invader is approaching and ready to fight, a warning to the invader.
The long and continuous barking is the dog's barking after being locked up, indicating that I am lonely and I need a companion. This is a good way to pretend to be pitiful. Erha often does this, but it is useless. I won’t be soft-hearted at all!
A series of screams is the dog's reaction to severe fear and pain.
The soft, low-toned barking, a threat, means: Don't get closer, or I will bite you!
The louder and longer crying sounds are sympathetic, and dogs usually make such sounds while waiting for food.
3. Ears
The ears are a limb that conveys subtle psychological changes of the dog. Different transformation forms and postures all show different meanings.
Ear upright: Dogs have their ears upright, usually to listen to the sound clearly, concentrate on a certain sound, and focus on a sound. They are also searching for enemy situations and discovering interesting things.
What the teacher said was pricked up and listened carefully! Well, so, did the teacher treat us as dogs before? ? (What a painful realization!)
For an aggressive dog, erecting the ears may be the question or warning of a specific target.
Ears suddenly erect: When a dog feels threat or provocation, it will suddenly erect its ears and become hard, which is a signal that it is about to attack. At this time, as the master, it’s time to comfort the little guy. Go around its head and gently stroke its back to let it relax!
Hair erects around the ears: When the dog feels fear, all the hair around the ears will explode forward, with clear roots. But it may also be one of the signals of aggressive actions, indicating that the dog is preparing to attack. When walking the dog outside, when you encounter a dog like this, you will immediately hold the rope!
Ears forward: This situation often occurs when you are praised or win a battle with similar people. It is a kind of show-off, showing your majesty and spirit.
Press back of the ear: When you encounter a tough opponent, it means showing goodwill or weakness to the other party.
The ears are tightened back: the dog's performance when nervous or faces a threat may attack or escape!
4. The paws are scratching the ground with their paws. In most cases, the dog is scratching the claws because the nails are too long. But if there is water in the place where it scratches the ground, it means it is to expand the area of the water and then lie on it to cool it down.
Another reason is that there are sweat glands on the bottom of the dog's feet, and the liquid secreted here can emit a dog's smell. When a dog rubs his claws on the ground, it can stay more on the ground. It is another way for dogs to mark their territory in addition to using urine and feces.
5. Stroking the butt
Stroking the butt? Self-comfort? Forehead! Not what you think! Everyone is adult, don’t drive at any time!
The most common cause is that the anal glands in dogs are blocked and inflammation. There is an anal gland on both sides of the dog's anus. When the dog defecates, the anal glands secrete special substances, which plays a role as a lubricant. When the anal glands are blocked, it will make the dog less likely to defecate and anal pain, so the dog will rub his butt on the ground.
When the dog's stomach is uncomfortable and soft stools, it gets stuck on the hair around the anus, and feels itchy, and rubs on the ground out of instinct;
After eating bones, the stool is dry and hard, it will hurt the anus during defecation, causing inflammation, anal itching or pain, and will rub against the butt;
Due to the consumption of unhygienic water or meat products, parasites appear in the dog's body, and it will become very itchy when excreted to the anus, so it rubs against the butt.
6. The main reason for dogs to stick out their tongues is heat!
Dogs are born without sweat glands and can only cool down by sticking out their tongues. When the dog sticks out his tongue and is breathing heavily, it is necessary to rehydrate the dog immediately.
When you are extremely excited and excited, the dog will stick out your tongue. At this time, stick out your tongue to express your "calm"!
Stick your tongue when you sleep, okay, don't worry, they sleep very peacefully, and may be dreaming, such as dreaming of big bones or something. Erha foodies often do this, look!
7. Exposing your belly
The belly is the most vulnerable place for a dog. Only after the dog is familiar with the owner will it expose its belly. This proves that it trusts you very much and caters to you. If you gently stroke its belly at this time, it will be very happy!
When playing with a companion, he showed his belly and begged for mercy, which means: he is willing to surrender and expose his belly with his chest and belly as evidence!
Lying on the ground, rolling with your belly, and opening your mouth and sticking out your tongue is a way for dogs to act spoiled. I beg you to touch it!
Wang: Touch me! Touch me! quick! Don't stop! !
In addition to trust and acting spoiled, showing your belly is also a signal of asking for forgiveness! The master got angry, pretending to be stupid and naive, being cute and slutty, and winning the master's sympathy and forgiveness.
8. Twisting the head
Many people think that dogs tilting their heads is a manifestation of their cuteness. They are cute, do they need to sell it? funny!
Yes, this dog's action can make people so cute, but in fact, the dog's head tilts to guess your emotions through your expressions and eyes.
Then why tilt your head? You can try to clench your hands into fists and place them in front of your nose to imitate a dog's long nose. At this point you will understand what the dog's vision looks like. Because the prolonged nose blocks their view, they have to tilt their heads to see your entire face clearly. (High nose bridge is also a sin, haha!)
In addition, tilting your head is to hear the sound more clearly and determine the source of the sound.
9. Licking
Many dogs like to lick people, especially some large dogs. They suddenly lick you when they are full of saliva. The feeling is really... I believe many shovelers have a deep understanding.
Dogs lick people are affected by dog moms because mothers will lick newborn dogs to help them clean and comb. This loving act is a natural manifestation when a dog loves you.
When it is too boring, it will lick you and attract your attention, want you to play and fight with it;
When dogs lick people, their heads will release amine polyphenols. This makes them happy.
Licking people is also a manifestation of hunger for dogs, reminding you that they are hungry or thirsty!
I think you taste good, your salty and sticky sweat actually tastes good for it; or you just finished eating and there is a residual smell on your mouth, and the dog will also want to lick it!
10. Sniffing each other
Studies have confirmed that dog noses are 10,000-100,000 times more sensitive than human noses. When a dog smells another dog's butt, it is actually collecting important information from the other party.
As for collecting information, what are you doing? Cough cough cough!
Take the dog out for a walk, and when they meet a companion, they will run forward and smell each other's butt. This is when dogs identify and obtain information from each other by smelling the smell of the anal glands.
But some dogs are more "spicy" and do not want others to know their "identity", so they will spin on the spot, escape and dodge the other person's nose.
