Just like children, although you love them, it does not mean that you understand them. Parents are often surprised by the new words that come out of their children’s mouths, and sometimes the strange actions they make. What information are the following 12 dog behaviors trying to convey to you?
1. Continuous eye contact.
Your dog is looking at you, what expression is it using? If it has a normal expression, then when it stares into your eyes, it is a way of communicating emotions. Japanese researchers have found that this kind of eye contact can increase a hormone that affects fertility.
2. Bringing things to you
You may think that it just brings things for you to play with, especially when it brings toys. In fact, the dog is likely to bring gifts to you. Due to the dog’s hunting instinct, it will bring you something that it thinks is delicious or fun.
3. Raise a paw
When your dog raises a paw, lowers its head, and looks at a certain place attentively, it means that it is going to hunt~ It may pounce on a small animal, such as a bird.
4. Arching and shrinking
When your dog arches its body and shrinks into a small ball, it is usually afraid. It may also be because of abdominal pain!
5. Chewing furniture
This depends on whether your dog has been trained or has separation anxiety. If the dog has been trained since childhood and does not have separation anxiety, it will not chew furniture.
6. Sitting on your feet
There are many possible reasons why dogs do this. If your dog has a strong desire for dominance, it will express it through this behavior. If she has separation anxiety, this is a common way to try to get close to you. If your dog is very jealous, it may declare to other humans or animals, “This is mine!” Of course, it is also possible that it simply feels comfortable sitting like this.
7. Yawning
Dogs yawn not only because they are tired. They also yawn when they want to relieve stress or fear. If they yawn repeatedly at someone, it is very likely that they don’t want to see this person.
8. Relaxed yawning
Interestingly, when a dog is with you and feels very comfortable, it will yawn when you yawn.
But if a dog you don’t know yawns at you, it’s not good.
9. Leaning on you
This is a dog’s way of expressing its love for you. It longs for your love and attention, and leaning on you makes it feel very safe.
10. Sticking out the tongue
When a dog sticks out its tongue and quickly retracts it, it usually means that it is not very comfortable, such as seeing someone who makes it unhappy or something that makes it uneasy.
11. Falling in love with your bed
Falling in love with your bed is not because it is so comfortable, but because it is your bed. Should you let your dog sleep on it? Unless you are allergic, even the veterinarian can’t find any harm in doing so.
12. Watching you leave calmly
Many dog owners feel guilty when they leave home, leaving their dogs alone at home. So when the dog calmly watches you leave, you will feel much better. If a dog has separation anxiety, he will chew furniture, growl, and urinate and defecate anywhere.
