They say that dogs are able to understand human speech and even remember some words and commands.

People also understand something of the language of animals. If we talk about dogs, then it is mainly the language of the body, or more precisely the wagging tail. This is often the limit of knowledge.

Veterinarian Ksenia Startsun spoke to Zakon.kz about how to understand what a dog wants to say.

Advice one

You need to watch your pet's body, its position, as well as its tail, ears and facial expression. If the body is relaxed, the tail wags to the sides, and the ears are raised and open - these are symbols of serenity. With anxiety and worry, everything happens the opposite

Tip two

Dogs may bark or whine when playing or anxious. The same thing happens if your pet is in pain. The tone and intensity should be a warning sign.

Tip three

Wagging the tail is not only a friendly mood. If a dog sees a familiar person, it may wag its tail with joy. And if a person makes it anxious, it may start growling and getting angry along with wagging its tail.

Tip number four

The dog's behavior also says a lot. It either willingly contacts other relatives and people, or avoids interaction. Along with these signs, you need to evaluate the pet's appetite, energy and sleep.

These simple tips will help you notice in time that your dog needs help and avoid serious trouble.
