Hey this is Claire. Wait, before we start I want to say sorry that I didn't write a post yesterday . Now we may start. Today we will be talking about different ways to recognize dogs behavior such as the way their ears are pointing like a horse. When their ears are up dogs are usually happy and paying attention. If they are back they hear you and think that they are in trouble. So don't yell if you're dog is right next to you. If you have a loud voice you may damage the dog's hearing if you yell. So start expressing your feeling in some other way then a loud voice. 
Now we will be talking about how you can tell with tails. Obviously a wagging tail means "I'm happy!"  When your pup is scared his tail goes between their legs and he'll crouch down to the ground. 
The last way I'm going to be talking about is how a dog shows submission. He will lay down and show his belly to the other dog/dogs. He is saying " I am taking a break or I am done for the day or you are in charge."  Now you know some different ways to tell what your dog is feeling. That's it for today! See you on the next post !
