Tip five: Ensure they maintain a healthy weight

Just like people, dogs have their own personalities that influence their behaviour. Some dogs may be more outgoing and confident, while others may be more timid and anxious. Breed Whilst looking out for the behaviours above will help you understand what your dog is feeling, here are some factors to bear in mind: Context Your pet gets 1 "star" every time you interact with it. But will lose them slowly if you ignore the pet for too long. You can then get new goodies with "stars" Ears are forward or flat. Their ears may be pointing forwards or be pulled flat against their head, rather than being floppy and relaxed. We will visit you and your pet at home to discuss their specific requirements, character, level of obedience, medical & vaccinationhistory etc. Yourpet will also get the chance to decide if they like us! If we are a good fit wewill thenarrange an accompanied walk or familiarisation visit.

Remember - all dogs are different! Your dog's age, breed, personality, and situation all affect how they behave. How to tell if your dog is relaxed Hiding and walking away. If your dog is unhappy at something or someone making them stressed, they may try to hide behind you or another object, or take themselves off to another area if they can. Let them do this and don’t follow them or push the interaction, as your dog is letting you now they need a time-out. They lean in to you. A relaxed dog who enjoys your company is more likely to also enjoy your attention. They may come to you for attention and it’s a good sign if they lean into your hand when you stroke them.

Keeping them in their comfort zone will mean you and your dog both have a great time and stay best of friends. Probably the easiest dog body language to understand is a happy dog! There are some really clear signs you’ll see in your dog showing they are happy: Just like a happy dog, it’s also very easy to spot an uncomfortable and worried dog from their body language, if you know what to look for. Signs to spot include: Sometimes, when our dogs get very unhappy and feel threatened or extremely frightened, they feel like they have to resort to aggressive behaviour because, to them, it seems like there’s no other way out of a situation.

Their body’s relaxed. If your dog seems relaxed in their posture and not tense or stiff, this is a good indication they are feeling good. Loose shoulders, soft eyes without a fixed gaze, and a dose of ‘wiggliness’ or pure ‘flopped-outness’ are all clues that your dog’s feeling super chill. The recent addition ofour cat sitting service ensures staff at The Happy Dog get their 'cat cuddle fix' since the recent loss oftheir gorgeous Persian Chinchilla, Mia at the grand old age of 17!
