When happy, dogs hold their ears naturally without tension. Perked ears signal engagement.
A loose, wiggly body shows comfort. Tense, rigid posture communicates stress.
Joy widens their eyes. Narrowed eyes indicate suspicion or concern.
Relaxed open mouth grins with tongue out reflect pleasure, laughter and smiles.
Classic play bow invite says, “I’m happy, let’s play!”
Tail wagging shows excitement and eagerness for attention. Watch tail height for context.
Leaning into you affirms their trust, comfort and contentment by your side.
