what is your dog really trying to tell
0:01
you if you've ever wished you had a
0:03
secret decoder for your dog's weird
0:05
Behavior I have some tips for you like
0:07
what are they really trying to say with
0:08
that head tilt or intense stare dogs
0:10
have their own secret language and I'll
0:12
even share a quick trick you can use to
0:14
talk back to them in a way that won't
0:16
make you look totally nuts dogs
0:17
communicate through a mix of tail wags
0:19
ear twitches and side eye stairs take
0:21
tail wagging for example it's not all
0:23
I'm happy to see you a slow low wag
0:26
could mean I'm feeling a little
0:27
suspicious here while a highspeed high
0:29
tail wag that's excitement or maybe ooh
0:32
something's about to go down and if
0:34
their tail is tucked tight between their
0:36
legs that's dogp for I'd rather be
0:38
anywhere else right now like under the
0:40
couch ears are another clue ears back
0:44
they're nervous or doing their best
0:46
don't mind me act ears forward they're
0:48
probably all ears pun intended and ready
0:51
to see what's next and let's talk about
0:54
eye contact a long stare that's a bit of
0:57
a challenge but soft blinking eyes
1:00
that's pure love and trust and if you
1:02
see those whale eyes where the whites
1:04
are visible they're low-key stressed and
1:06
might be thinking human what are you
1:09
doing dogs talk with their whole bodies
1:12
if they shift their weight forward
1:14
they're probably ready to pounce or
1:15
confront leaning back they're like uh no
1:19
thanks even things like yawning when
1:21
they're wide awake can mean something
1:23
they're actually trying to chill
1:24
themselves out not prepping for a nap
1:27
want to try speaking dog here's a simple
1:30
trick if your dog seems unsure avoid
1:33
staring them down and try sitting at
1:34
their level that way you're showing them
1:36
you're cool and not about to launch a
1:38
surprise attack trust me they'll
1:40
appreciate it I'll never forget the
1:42
first time I noticed my dog Bella giving
1:45
me the infamous whale eye I was holding
1:48
her favorite treat and teasing her by
1:49
pretending not to give it to her yeah I
1:51
thought it was funny her eyes got wide
1:55
and she gave me that side eye glare whes
1:57
showing and all that's when I realized
1:59
ized oops I've gone too far I handed her
2:03
the treat and she immediately relaxed
2:05
looking at me like finally you get it
2:08
total light bulb moment what's the
2:10
weirdest or funniest way your dogs tried
2:12
to talk to you drop your stories in the

moments but it'll also bring you and
