Understanding Your Dog - Canine Communication

Whether it's through their body posture, facial expressions, or the noises they make, dogs use different signs to let us know what they need. By paying attention to these signals, you can make sure your furry friend is happy and healthy and build a strong bond with them.  It is also crucial for safety, because dog bites can occur when people fail to recognise the escalating signs that a dog is feeling distressed; dogs typically show this in many subtle ways before they growl, snap or lunge
