CANINE BODY LANGUAGE (AKC Series)

 YOUR DOG IS TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING, by the American Kennel Club 

PERSUASION 

A dog might stamp its feet, alternating its left and right front legs, when he wants something, or wants its owner’s attention. A long stare also could be a sign that a dog wants something. 

 With the possible exception of Dr. Doolittle, no one is having a conversation with a dog. You probably talk to your dog. But he doesn’t reply. Still, dogs communicate their wants and needs, their happiness and fear, and quite effectively, their aggression. Their messages are conveyed primarily through body language (though barks, growls and whimpers have distinct meanings). So it’s important to recognize what these signals mean.
