So how can we, in our limited way, be apprentice Dog Whisperers and really know what our dogs are thinking?The power of observation: If we carefully and thoughtfully observe and study our dogs in distinct and predetermined situations we can over time build up a good basis of understanding of their actions, body postures, facial expressions, vocal language and thereby begin to have a better understanding of what it is exactly that our dogs are feeling and experiencing.

Dog emotions: There is no question but that dogs have feelings and emotions that are in many ways similar to those experienced by humans. There reactions can sometimes even seem similar to those of humans. For example if a dog feels unloved they become depressed and express happiness when a member of the family returns home. They also become frightened when they feel threatened and seem to genuinely enjoy playing and having a good time.
