Although dogs cannot speak, like humans, they have their own emotions and feelings. They express their emotions to their owners through actions, postures, and other body languages, so pet owners should understand what different dog body languages mean. Today, the editor of Boqiwang will talk about the ways dogs express their emotions. Let's take a look together.

When dogs are sad, they make "cooing" or "hoo-hood" sounds, signaling they want the owner's attention to "tell" their sorrow, pain, and misfortune. At these times, dogs also lower their tails and rub their bodies against the owner in a pleading posture.

When dogs are happy, excited, or showing fondness to people, their behavior is more stable than when joyful, just slowly wagging their tails and making soft "woo-woo" sounds in their throats. Sometimes, they continuously lick their owner's hands and face.

When dogs feel fear, the tail will drop to varying degrees depending on the level of fear. When the tail is completely tucked between the legs, it shows extreme fear. At this time, the dog's ears turn backward in a sleeping posture, and its whole body curls tightly.

When joyful, dogs jump repeatedly, bend their bodies, step with their front legs, or wag their tails vigorously from side to side, with ears twisting backward. Large dogs may also lift their front legs to lick their owner's face. Some dogs may exhibit excessive joy and lose emotional control, a behavior more common in young dogs that gradually disappears with age. The sound dogs make when joyful is a bright "woof woof."

When angry, dogs stiffen their whole body, stretch their limbs, raise their fur, curl their lips showing teeth, and make threatening "woo-woo" sounds to intimidate others. Their tails may also wag slightly, and ears stand erect facing the opponent.

When alert, dogs raise their ears and do not miss a single sound, barking "woof woof." When strangers approach, they bark continuously with sounds like "woof—woof—woof woof woof—."

When being coquettish, dogs make "humming" sounds with their noses. When asking for the owner's forgiveness and being coquettish, they lower their tails. When they want something or want to urge the owner to play, they gently wag their tails instead of lowering them.

When lonely, dogs are relaxed and limp all over, making "ah ah" sounds like yawning.

The above are several common ways dogs use to express their emotions. We hope this can help everyone.
