Your pet dog is probably like a member of the family to you, and so of course you want to spoil them and make them feel loved and content. You might want to buy them all the latest toys, dress them in expensive pet outfits or take them to the grooming parlour once a week. With dogs increasingly seen as extensions of us, it’s easy to see why they are pampered and groomed to meet human standards, whether it’s wholly necessary for their wellbeing, or not. However, for good pet owners, who want to raise balanced, healthy pet dogs, the desire to treat them as we might like ourselves to be treated, should be resisted wherever possible. Preventative measures for your pet’s health are equally as important as they are for humans, if not more so, as our pets can’t communicate any potential health concerns to us. Catching illnesses early on, or better yet, preventing them altogether, will give your pet a happier, healthier and longer life, and so just as we might go for a routine health check-up once a year, so should your beloved pooch. Dog poop can tell you a lot about a dog’s overall health, and while it often stinks to high heaven and is kinda gross, bending down to take a closer look at what Fido has produced can be beneficial! Dogs have a language of their own that enables them to communicate their emotional state and intentions to their owners, and others around them. Most of their communication methods will be displayed through their body language, and more specifically, their facial expressions and the posture of their body. Dogs also use sounds and signals, and most will be familiar with these already, such as growling and barking when spooked, angry or edgy. But for understanding their body language, here are a few tips and pointers to interpret how a dog may be trying to communicate their feelings to you: When pups or adult dogs guard their possessions against humans, we can generally consider that to be normal behavior. Dogs in the wild need to protect things such as food, mates and territories, and those that do so successfully, are more likely to survive. However, when talking about domesticated pets, those sorts of traits are not welcomed and can give pet owners many problems. A dogs’ bark is of course their main form of verbal communication, and in many pets, it’s not a problem and can even be a good form of defense for homeowners. However, some dogs bark excessively, and being able to identify the cause of such barking, is the first step towards understanding and curbing your pets unwanted verbal communications.
