dog behavior

How pups act

Dog behavior encompasses the actions, reactions, and body language of domestic dogs.

It includes instinctive patterns like barking, tail-wagging, and territorial marking, as well as learned responses to training and environment.

Understanding dog behavior helps owners interpret signals—a wagging tail typically indicates excitement, while flattened ears suggest fear or submission.

The trainer specialized in correcting aggressive dog behavior.
