The language is based on dog barking, body movements and attitudes. All dogs used common gestures to communicate, and although the nature or structure of each race influence their expression, have adapted their language to be understood.

Through its barking, a dog can express frustration, boredom, hunger, interest, excitement, anxiety or nervousness.

Dogs show their feelings through a “vocabulary” or body language with which they express their fear, submission, dominance, aggression, or simply his desire to play.

The ears and especially the tail, play an important role in the “vocabulary” canine.

Here’s how dogs demonstrate their basic feelings:

• Fear:
His ears are back or even close to the head, his tail down and between the hind legs usually have its snout closed, his head bowed, eyes half open or closed. His body will be bent or crouched and usually emit moans. If growls and bares its teeth, show aggression due to fear she feels. The body language of your dog learns to recognize

• Submission:
A submissive dog will keep your ears back, tail down between the hind legs or stirring constantly. Avoid eye contact with your eyes down, the half-open mouth and his body lying in a sphinx position. May emit squeaks and turn to expose your abdomen.

• Assault:
Dogs show aggression through body signals the following: your ears will stand forward (or backward, if at the same time he feels fear), his tail is up and fluffy, bare his teeth and keep your eyes on the subject because feels attacked. Will stand firmly, even with his body forward. The fur of the back and tail will be bristling and barking or growling deliver strong and consistent.

• Wants to play:
When the dog has a desire to play, relaxing or keep your ears forward, tail up and busy. His face is relaxed and may even pant. His eyes are wide open, move the tail and / or constantly skip. You can also put in half sphincter (the front of his body on the floor and the back up). Can bark, pant, groan or squawking.

• Dominance:
To show dominance the dog stops his ears erect and forward, his tail lifted completely, his head forward and the mouth is closed. Will stop completely with the chest forward and sometimes the hair will be back bristling. It can growl, and if he barks, it means you want to display aggression at the same time.
