We all know this feeling that our dog wants to tell us something, right? If he's standing at the door and wagging his tail, he probably wants to go for a walk, jumps and rides, he's probably happy, if he whines he's probably sad or scared, and other behaviors, better or less. 

All these are easy to explain. We as sensible humans can draw the conclusion that if the dog stands at the door and stares impatiently at us then he wants to leave. The beauty is that most dogs know that we know, so they adopt such or other behaviors to better the media and to express their wishes for us. And what about you?

Train dogs with me Vardi from the "Dog and Man Center" with helpful tips and tips for improving communication with your dog: 

Apart from wiggling a tail (happy me) or folding it between my legs (scary to me) what other "words" does the dog use to express his feelings and desires? It turns out that a lot - and the greater part we miss because sometimes they are too short, too fast or simply unaware of them. And these brief conversations between us can lead to misunderstandings that can create certain behavioral problems out of frustration at best, and at least even aggression and aggression.

A very important thing to know about dogs in general - they are not aggressive or aggressive by nature, even the opposite - dogs that have undergone regular socialization and positive attitude education will do just about anything to avoid assault. They will warn of their practice or threat facing them at least four or five steps earlier using body language and voice communication. 

In order to create a healthy, common language with our dogs, we must be very familiar with the following signs:

Lifting the front leg: The dog actually tells us that he saw something, heard something or smelled something that might be disturbing or threatening and is currently alert and ready to respond if required. A sort of sexual urge, but it will go away as soon as the meaning of the stimulus becomes clear. Just consider that they hear and smell much better than we do, and sometimes the source of the irritation will not be so clear to us ...

Lip licking: The dog tells us that the irritation that is in front of him causes him a sense of discomfort, scares him or stresses him. He would rather walk away, or go to the sidewalk opposite and mostly avoid. It is very easy to miss, the tongue moves on the lips quickly and on average the dog's gaze will not allow for a comfortable angle of vision to absorb the mark.

Ground sniffing: a synonym for lip licking, the irritation facing it is stressful. Of course it's easier to spot, but the problem is that dogs are sniffing almost all the time. How does one differentiate between sign and pressure and just regular sniffing? Here we are required to identify the context, read between the lines if you like. If on a routine trip a threatening irritation appeared, the dog recognized it and immediately lowered its nose to the curb - usually that would be the sign. 

Shifting a glance: There is nothing more obvious than turning the gaze sideways or sometimes backwards to say "I don't want what's in front of me." The dog does not want to be there, and in most cases he will also want to be where his gaze is directed to him. 

These are the signs that we will see in one combination or another when our dog encounters a threatening or stressful event and here we are required to listen and respond. The next steps will be a little less pleasant to the eye and ear and will usually accompany teeth, growls and bark. Our natural interpretation would be that the dog suddenly becomes aggressive or domineering or dominant, while on the whole it tries to keep away from it a stimulus that is not easy with him. If we do not respond to these signs too, the next step will be a bite in the air or even assault. 

So how do we still have dogs that are considered aggressive? The answer in most cases lies in the lack of communication. As mentioned, a dog will try to avoid fights, but if he did not go through an education and socialization process he would not be able to use the preliminary signs and would simply skip steps. Today, there is still a tendency to punish or prevent the dog from having these exclusion signs such as barking or baring - what does the dog learn? If I was punished for trying to keep away, it would probably be wrong, I should go straight to assault.  

The most common phenomenon is as it is called in professional jargon - strip aggression. A dog that does not have the option to escape - will usually choose the second option available to him - fight. And because you must walk with a leash - you must also recognize and respond to these signs in order to avoid unpleasantness. Typically moving around, facing the sidewalk or changing the direction of walking will provide adequate response to complex situations and the dog will learn more and more to use "words" rather than actions.  

In conclusion, be very familiar with your dog's language and as you read it, the trusting relationship between you and your family will increase. Be as attentive to his feelings of stress and distress as to his feelings of joy and love for you. In the next sitting on a dog garden bench, put the cellphone aside for a moment and watch: What do you say to each and every one of the dogs? 

Anyway - addressing aggressive behavior problems requires skill, experience and compassion. The dog is just trying to protect himself - use a professional in the field.
