How to communicate with your dog

As it turns out, communicating with a dog using body language is not difficult. Now that you have learned what body language means on your own, use it to communicate dog-speak with your pup. Once you understand the dog language, and what your pup says through his barking, wagging his tail, and another body language, you’ll have an idea of how to speak with a dog through effective communication as a pup. Since dogs do not acquire these language skills, we continue to speak with them using puppy language.

Body language is the primary way dogs communicate, so it is very important for us to learn to understand it. Dogs use all parts of their bodies to communicate their wants and emotional states. Dogs do not have words for what they are thinking or feeling, but they certainly do have ways of communicating.

While nonverbal is the main kind of communication dogs use, they still get a few messages out of our words. Another good way to communicate with your dogs is by reciprocating body signals that they are showing you.

Chances are, when you are using a nonverbal communication channel, your dog is much more likely to understand what you want. There are several ways that you can provide a clear manual cue to your dog, which could evolve into a new way for you and your dog to communicate. Let us explore the main ways that you can use body language to establish the proper tone of voice for the message that you want to give to your dog.

Once you have an interpretation of what your dog is feeling in a given situation, you can then use the dogs body language to help modulate his emotions. To communicate with your canine companion better, check out these tips for reading dogs body language. Knowledge of body language, as well as being able to identify it with precision, will be helpful in deciphering what your dog is trying to communicate.

Much dog communication is made up of barking, yelling, and growling, so knowing what a dogs sounds mean is essential. If you listen well to your dog, and you notice the contexts where the dogs sounds are occurring, you can definitely spot the patterns and figure out what your dog is trying to communicate.

To really assess the effort that your dog is making in communicating with you, and to get a better idea of what they are trying to communicate, try going through the printable sheets and finding any signals that you can. This list is based on the total amount scientists found in England, but more importantly here is recognising when your dog is using any of 47 different signals, and understanding what they are asking. In the interest of understanding our family members dogs better, we rounded up 45 ways that your dog is really communicating with you. Now that you have an accurate picture of how your dog is communicating with you, now is a good time to provide some wanted answers.

There is already a fair amount of research evidence showing how the ways we communicate to dogs are different than how we communicate with other people. Research from the past couple decades shows that dogs can actually understand human communication in ways no other species is. In fact, there is not an animal out there that understands human communication with as much flexibility as domestic dogs.

There are major differences between the way dogs understand our communication versus the way children understand it. Evidence of dogs fully understanding us has been amassed showing the extreme ability in which dogs are capable of using the forms of human communication. It is also been proven (and most dog owners will tell you) that we can communicate with dogs using physical gestures. Recently, scientists found out there are 19 gestures dogs use to communicate with us.

Dogs use a majority of their senses for communication, including smell, sound, and visual signals. Unlike humans, body position and canine olfactory (smell) signals are important components of dog language, while vocal communication is not as important. Dog communication involves using distinctive body postures and showing emotional states, but it is not always about a specific intention or action. This inner conflict influences the way the dog reacts, and it may manifest itself in the form of distinctive body positions, which act as cues for communicating with other dogs.

By staying alert for these signals, and refraining from actions that could be interpreted as aggression, you can greatly improve the way that you communicate with your dog. Communicating with your dog in a clear and effective manner involves becoming aware of the ways in which the tone of voice, as well as the way in which cues are delivered, influence the way that your dog learns and reacts. Things to look out for when dogs are communicating are mostly body language and posture, including head and neck positioning, ears placement, tail placement and activity, bringing the hair up behind your shoulders or behind you, eyes and ears placement, facial expressions, and vocalizations.

The difference is that, whereas humans mainly communicate through words, dogs mainly communicate nonverbally using body language, and secondary via vocalizations. Pheromones, glandular secretions, barking, whimpering, yipping, growling, body posture, and so on, serve as efficient means of communication among dogs.

When dogs are feeling stressed, they will obliquely glance and avoid eye contact. Just like humans, dogs lick their lips after eating a tasty treat, but they also will when feeling anxious. We humans like to give dogs treats, and it is true that some dogs really love being pampered–other dogs, not so much. Of course, we have to speak with our dogs when we want them to do things, such as hop down from the couch or take the leash out to go for a walk.

Let your dog concentrate on your words and any hand or body signals that are meant; do not leave him in the position where he has to sort the wheat from the chaff, so to speak. When a dog reacts to stress or threats, it can communicate using various signals classified as assertive or submissive, however, any dogs signals either way can escalate to the point of biting.
