What 10 Things Every Dog Wants Their Owner To Know!!
Dogs
are smart and if they had our vocal cords they’d talk non-stop,
sometimes our furry friends have a bunch of messages and cues for us
and we barely know what and when to pick up on them. Dogs are highly
communicative and always have something to say the only trick for you
to understand what they’re trying to convey is if you learn these
10 signs below.
Right
on time? Or not so much
Did
you know that dogs have the ability to sense patterns in timeframes?
Yes, they can. While dogs can’t precisely tell the time, they are
to sense daily patterns and routine and if you somehow don’t show
up they will always be waiting. So if you come home and find out your
dog has a weird reaction, maybe it’s not weird after all. It might
be a natural reaction to your being late. Know that if you come home
late your dog will notice!
Happy
or not so happy?
We
assume that when dogs wag their tail they’re overexcited and
booming with happiness but not all the time. Sometimes its a sign of
stress or anxiety your dog might be suffering from. To better
understand if your dog is happy or not, try learning your dog’s
body language by assessing if their lips are curled tight together
while they’re wagging their tail. Sometimes a blend between these
two gives you the implication that your dog is actually stressed
instead of happy.
When’s
the last time I went on a walk? Huh?
Feeling
guilty much? Yea, dogs can get quite stressed and overcharged with
energy if it is not exerted in a healthy way. If your dog breed is
the type to get energized after missing just one walk then you should
be more careful. Your dog is not misbehaving, they are just
expressing their given right to be the energy-filled dogs they are.
Be more aware of your dog’s energy and don’t miss a walk.
Why
is my dog bringing me gifts?
In dog language, gifts are a sign that you’re one of the packs, and not only that, but you are also the leader of that pack. So if your dog brings you a gift, unasked for, then rest assured that you have been anointed a leader. In this case, pat your dog on the head and give them a nice rub on the head. They’ll enjoy it plenty Another reason why your dog might bring you a gift is to initiate play. It might be a sign to come to play with the dog so pick up on such cues.
Why
is my dog staring at me?
While
dogs don’t get infatuated with their humans, they for sure can
become overwhelmed with feelings of love and loyalty to the pack
leader, you. If your dog is staring at you right in the eye then your
dog might be showing you that they love you dearly and that you are
making them happy.
My
dog loves sitting on my feet. Why?
Dogs
can become quite territorial and one of their ways of showing it is
by sitting right on your feet. They are claiming you as their own
saying “this is my territory, do not cross”. It is, in fact, kind
of cute considering that this is just part of their language and way
of staying protective over their little human.
Does
my dog know more than I assume?
Yea
your dog is a genius and you don’t even know it. They can smell it
on you. If you’ve been having a hard day they can see right through
you and may try to comfort you in their own way. They can read your
body language and know if you are upset or sad or mad. They even
mimic their owners body language and feeling. Whether you know it or
not, your dog knows more about you than you think. Just because they
can’t speak English doesn’t mean they can’t communicate.
My
dog isn’t showing any guilt. Isn’t this cat behavior?
Well,
it is cat behavior indeed but also dog behavior as well. Dog shaming
is pretty popular online with people testing their dogs to see if
they will react in shame to what they’ve done, However, dogs can
pretty much act like they didn’t just do that thing and they don’t
give a damn about it too because that’s the truth about dogs. They
don’t feel guilt, at least, not in the way we humans do. Instead,
their guilty look is just an attempt to appease you and avoid
punishment. It is also a sign of confusion.
Why
is my dog grooming himself too much?
Grooming
in normal but too much grooming is a behavior that might need some
attention. If your dog licks themself on the same spot then maybe
check if that spot is hurting them. They might be telling you that it
hurts them in that area or that something is wrong medically. Another
reason why your dog might be grooming excessively is that they are
sad and lonely and haven’t gotten any attention from you lately. Be
supportive and understanding of your dogs way of showing emotions or
signs that might either be about you or something serious like a
medical issue.
My
dog barks way too much. Is something wrong?
Your
dog might be just a barker. Some dogs bark more than others but some
dogs bark on an excessive note because something might be wrong. What
could be wrong is something you have to figure out and understand
through showing understanding and paying a lot of attention. Your dog
might be sick or have some underlying issues that can go unnoticed.
Also, barks come in different tones. If your dog is whining clearly
there is something wrong about your dog you will need to check what
the issue could be as soon as possible. Don’t worry though, maybe
your dog is just asking for attention if their barks are not in a
whining tone.
