Dogs use facial expressions to communicate with their owners.
This conclusion was reached by researchers at the University of Portsmouth in England.
The study was published in the journal Scientific Reports.
How dogs talk to people
That is, they communicate with each other using sounds, smells and visual signals.
In addition to the fact that pets bark, howl, growl, in their communication they use the body: posture, position of the tail, ears, head - all this can convey a lot to another animal or person.
Dog body language
The tail is lowered, slow wagging - the animal is in thought, does not understand the command;
Lowered, waves it quickly and strongly - the dog recognizes your dominance;
Slightly raised, frozen in one position - the dog is waiting for something, alert;
The dog hides its tail between its legs - this indicates that it is very scared.
Ears laid back and laid back: If the ears are slightly laid back and laid back, then most likely the dog is just being friendly.
Nevertheless, if the ears are completely pressed to the head and stick out on both sides of it, then most likely the dog is scared or is bowing down and showing submission.
