Deciphering dog body language

So much of dogs’ communication comes in the form of body language. Tails, ears, eyes, mouths … all of them hold clues to what a dog is thinking and feeling at any given time.

But one of the hardest parts about reading a dog’s body language is that it happens fast. So it’s easy to miss subtle signs that can give you an indication of what’s going on in a dog’s head. And that can lead to misunderstandings between people and dogs, which can be dangerous.
