For that, you need to understand the dog language or ways you can interact verbally with your pet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, as your pet gets house trained, he will surely begin understanding a lot of what you want him to do, but to speed this process up, you need to get a sense of the dog language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On your end, if you learn to understand the dog language, you will begin to understand what does your dog wants to say<\/a>. The wagging of tails in a particular way or the different types of barks all have them have meaning, and as a good pet parent, you should learn to make sense of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This way of puppy communication is known as dog language, and there are tips and tricks you can use to learn it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid These Mistakes While Learning The Dog Language<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before diving into the tips of learning the dog language, there is a certain mistake you should be careful about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are misunderstood signals a dog sends your way, and most pet parents tend to make such mistakes in the beginning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many pet parents make the mistake of looming over in front of their little puppies. They don’t realize that it is wrong and it is forgivable for there is a lot of misinformation about how to treat dogs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, to begin with, you should know that looming over a puppy intimidates them. When you’re not sitting down at their level to talk to them, they consider it as you displaying superiority. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even when you don’t mean to, your dog will understand it so. So, make sure you sit down on your knees<\/strong> while playing with them or petting them. Secondly, looking at your pet with stern eyes is also taken by them as an intimidating sign. <\/p>\n\n\n

You must have seen pets shying away from the gaze when somebody looks at them with a strict alarm in the eyes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need to give enough time to the puppy and approach him slowly, avert your eyes every once in a while and make him feel comfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, don’t pat your puppy too hard on his head. It might seem cute to you but the harder you pat his head, the more frustrated and intimidated he gets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially you should avoid doing it when you first meet a dog. Give him time to sniff you and decide for himself whether or not he is open to displaying affection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let him be the one to take the initiative to show affection in any way, don’t lay it on him forcefully. If you have kids at home, teach them not to hug the puppies in too tight a hold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is important because the puppy might consider it an attack, as hugging is not the way they usually show affection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In dog language, hugging is the body language of dominance<\/a>. So, if the kids give your puppies a very tight hug, he might consider it an attack and can also attack in retaliation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, among the cases when a dog or a puppy has bitten a kid, it is when the kid was landing kisses on them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is because kissing in dog language is not a show of affection. A puppy licks you and kisses you because he wants to say that he’s not a threat; it signifies submissiveness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, when you do the same to the puppy, he might think of you as an easy target or as being inferior to him. Make sure you avoid such a situation and don’t be too eager to show excessive affection in the wrong ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should instead let your puppy take the initiative as he grows comfortable being around you and your family. <\/p>\n\n\n
