As pet owners, we all wish our dogs could talk—but the good news is, they already are! Dogs communicate through body language, vocalizations, and behaviors that reveal their needs, emotions, and even their health. Learning to understand these signals can strengthen your bond and help prevent unwanted behaviors.
Common Canine Behaviors & What They Mean
🐾 Tail Wagging: A wagging tail doesn’t always mean a happy dog. A slow wag can indicate uncertainty, while a high, fast wag often signals excitement. A tucked tail, however, may mean fear or anxiety.
🐾 Barking & Whining: Dogs bark for many reasons—alerting you, seeking attention, or expressing excitement. Whining often signals discomfort, anxiety, or a desire for something (like a treat or a walk).
🐾 Zoomies: Sudden bursts of energy, or "zoomies," are completely normal! They often happen when a dog is excited, especially after being cooped up for a while.
🐾 Chewing & Digging: These natural instincts can sometimes become destructive. Ensuring your pup has appropriate outlets, like chew toys and designated digging areas, can help redirect these behaviors.
