Understanding dog body language

Learn to notice the signals your dog shares before they bark or react.

Dogs communicate with their whole bodies. Ears, posture, movement, facial tension and distance all matter more than one signal on its own.

A dog that turns away, licks their lips or becomes very still may need more space. Noticing these quieter signs can prevent misunderstandings.

Watch your dog in familiar, comfortable situations first. That gives you a baseline for recognising when something changes.

Where to go from here

Every dog is an individual. If you need help applying these ideas to your dog, a consultation can help you find a sensible starting point.
