A Paws a Day Sign in
A Boxer turns her head to the side, tongue flicking up over her nose and a crescent of white showing in her eye, as an owner crouches close watching her face.

A guided path shared with you

Reading your dog

Your dog is talking all the time, mostly in small signals that are easy to miss. These start with the little warning lights, then the most misread: the yawn that isn’t tiredness, the lick that isn’t about food, the dry shake that says she coped, the wag that isn’t always friendly, the raised hackles that aren’t always a threat, and the stillness that isn’t always calm. Then what barking is really telling you, how to tell play from trouble, and a three-second way to ask whether she’d like to be stroked.
