Little Dog Instructing - Methods To Identify Your Dog's Mood
Here is short guide to some basic dog body language and what it means:
Dominant - You'll find that a dominant dog has its ears straight up or forward, its mouth a bit opened or closed, its eyes open wide or staring, its body standing firm and tall with hackles possibly raised, and its tail out from the body stiffened or fluffed. Low and assertive bark can normally be expected.
Friendly - A friendly dog has perked up ears, open and alert eyes, a relaxed mouth, a tail or whole rear end wagging, and probably whimpering, yapping or giving little barks.
Submissive - A dog with its ears tightly back, eyes closed and paw lifted is showing extreme submission. The dog isn't happy but shows it will not attack.
Aggressive - aggressive dog has its ears flattened back against its head, its eyes narrowed or demanding, body tense, mouth open to show teeth and tail apprehended out from the body and fluffed up if possible. Snarls or growls are typical.
Worried - Unexpected barks mingled with growling, ears flattened and neck hairs raised means "I'm worried" or "something is wrong."
Fear - A puppy shows fear with a lowered posture, tail down or tucked beneath, an arched back, looking or turning head while showing the whites of their whites of eyes and dilated pupils. Dogs generally bark out of fear, especially if they are cornered, fenced in, or on a leash.
Stressed - stressed dog will usually have ears back and down, wide open mouth, lips drawn back with swift respiration. Also shoulders lowered, hunched forward, tail tucked, tension in haunches and will probably be shaky.
Now that you understand more about what your puppy is trying to say to you about how he feels or the mood he is in try to provide this in your puppy training and everyday life.
In a small dog training session your doggie should be showing that he is in friendly or playful atmosphere. If he shows he is dominant then you know that he may not be taking you seriously or could be being uncontrollable and you probably need to be more assertive.
Some docile behavior is not bad thing as it implies that that he realizes that you are in charge.
If your puppy becomes stressed, fearful, worried or even aggressive, you must stop your puppy obedience training and comfort your dog immediately. If you have been training for more than 15 minutes stop and get a break. When you come back takes things slowly or approach issues in different way
Use your knowledge in every day life too. Observe your puppy in various situations and you will immediately discover what he enjoys and hates or how he is feeling. You can then take steps to give him more of what he enjoys and more support, confidence and training in situations he finds more complex.
