Understanding Your Dog's Body Language During Walks
Learn to read common signals so you can support a relaxed and positive walking experience.
Tail and Ear Positions
Relaxed tail often indicates comfort, while a tucked tail may suggest unease.
Pace and Posture
- Sniffing frequently is normal exploration.
- Stiff posture can mean your dog needs a break.
Common Signals to Note
Yawning or lip licking during walks sometimes shows mild stress. Offering space or changing direction may help.
Regular walks provide mental stimulation and physical activity that supports overall wellbeing.
Always speak to your vet about any sudden behaviour changes.
