Juliana left us with some parting thoughts. “The best thing you can do for your dog and the dogs in your life is to educate yourself about dog body language. Understanding what your dog is saying with their body language and behavior can dramatically increase your bond with them because they finally have a way to communicate with you.”

“However, once you learn about dog body language, get ready for a lot of viral dog content to be less entertaining because you suddenly notice all the subtle stress signals the dogs are showing in videos and photos. It’s not uncommon for humans to have a good laugh at an animal’s expense, often because we don’t realize just how distressed an animal is in the moment.”

“Understanding dogs is a double-edged sword because you can’t unsee the signs of stress, but it’s worth it. We’ve asked dogs to adapt to our human world—the least we can do is learn their language and understand what they are trying to tell us. A great resource for learning canine body language: Doggie Language: A Dog Lover’s Guide to Understanding Your Best Friend by Lili Chin (it’s literally a picture book!)”
