What is Your Dog Thinking About?

How to know what your dog Is thinking

"If only my dog could talk, he could tell me what he is thinking!"

Your dog can tell you what he is thinking, but it is up to you to learn how to understand what he is saying to you. Dogs communicate what they are thinking, in many different ways.

Dog talk works like this.

"I am your best friend!"

Your dog will snuggle up to you and stay at your side whether you are happy or sad, morning, noon or night.

"I am your protector!"

Your dog will bark immediately at someone or something he perceives, as a threat to you.

"I love you!"

Your dog will lick your hand, chin and your cheeks. He will jump up on you and wait for you to hug, pet or reward him.

"I can do tricks!"

Your dog will bring his ball to you, drop it at your feet and wait for you to throw it for him, repeatedly.

"I can bite!"

Your dog will growl and bark at anyone he feels threatened by, causing them to back away or to leave.

"I want to go outside!"

Your dog will go to the door and scratch on it, to show you that he wants to go outside or to come back inside.

"I am hungry!"

Your dog may go to his dish and push it around with his nose, when he is hungry or thirsty.

"I want to play!"

Your dog will jump up and down with delight and bring his toys or a stick to you, when he wants to play with you.

"I want to go for a walk."

Your dog may place his leash in your hand, when he wants to go for a walk.

"I am trying to tell you something!"

Your dog will demand your attention, when there is something that he thinks is important.

"I am sad."

Your dog will let you know that he is sad, by the look in his eyes. Some dogs even appear to smile, when they are happy.

"I am sick."

Your dog will let you know that he is sick, by becoming quiet and lethargic. He may be running a temperature and feel warm to touch.

Your dog may be a whole lot smarter than you ever realized. Spend some quality time with him and you will begin to understand exactly how he thinks. Dogs can speak to you, in their own way. When your dog is trying to tell you what he is thinking, make certain you really listen to him.
