🐶👄Have you ever wished that our dogs could talk sometimes? Of course, dogs can't speak, but through their everyday actions, we can still understand their feelings. 🐶❤️
We can read our dogs' hearts even without them saying a word, like whether they're living happily. Today, let me introduce you to 12 behaviors that can help us understand our dogs' hearts.
Comfortable gaze 😊🐶
According to the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), dogs return to their usual relaxed gaze when they feel calm and happy.
.
Relaxed mouth shape 😄👄
When a dog is happy or relaxed, it tends to keep its mouth closed or slightly open.
.
Normal appetite 🍖🥣
While some dogs may be pickier eaters than others, happy dogs typically have a normal appetite. If your dog is experiencing loneliness (due to the loss of another dog) or suffering from illness, it may refuse to eat.
.
Tail position 🐾🦴
Another part of a dog's body language is its tail. You can determine if a dog is feeling happy based on the shape of its tail. When a dog feels comfortable, its tail assumes a natural position. If the tail is wagging from side to side, it's expressing happiness.
.
Reduction in destructive or aggressive behavior 💥🚫
Dogs that exhibit problem behaviors often do so out of boredom. However, happy dogs tend to show less destructive or aggressive tendencies. Instead, they engage in positive behaviors like playing with toys or enjoying interactive play with their owners.
.
Naturally folded ears 🐶👂
Depending on the breed or the shape and position of the ears, dogs tend to fold their ears naturally when they are happy.
.
Excited and animated behavior 🎉🐕
Happy dogs get extremely excited and animated about things like dinner, their owners, playtime, and walks. If your dog never seems excited or enthusiastic about anything, it might be cause for concern and a visit to the vet may be necessary.
.
Restful sleep 😴💤
Stressed dogs may exhibit behaviors such as waking up and seeking out a new spot to sleep, but happy dogs sleep peacefully without such issues.
