1 . What Your Dog Is Really Thinking

Reading a pup’s body language requires experience and expert guidance. Zazie Todd, a dog trainer and founder of the blog Companion Animal Psychology, considers how to figure out the dogs’ behaviour.

If your dog licks their mouth

They’re stressed. Recently, two European studies have highlighted the meaning of this licking. One found that it was a dogs’ response to seeing an angry or aggressive human face on a computer screen.     1     . If you spot this sign, try reducing your dog’s stress levels. It could be as simple as giving them more physical space.

If there are fireworks and your dog is shaking

The noises are frightening.     2     . But a surprising number of people don’t realize that shaking and trembling (and hiding or seeking out people) are signs of fear. Whereas only a quarter of owners say their dog is afraid of loud noises, half report these behavioural signs.

They’re anxious. Obvious signs of an unhappy dog include hiding or trying to leave the exam room, but commonly missed signs range from a tucked tail and lowered ears to trembling. If your dog gets stressed at appointments, ask what can be done. Many vets now use food to make the experience more fun.

If your dog leans into you during a petting session.

    4     . If you’re unsure that a dog is enjoying being petted, stop, then watch their reaction. If they choose to wander of, the session is over. Other signs of discomfort include smelling the floor, looking away and breathing heavily. However, if they lean on you or scratch at you to get more hugs, continue!     5     .

A．They hate it

B．They like it

C．This is a common reaction

D．If you’re at the vet and your dog’s tail is down

E．If your dog looks guilty when you walk in the door and see a mess

F．Preferred spots on their bodies are to either side of the chest and under the chin

G．The other determined that dogs lick their mouths—and also look away—in response to a mild threat
