We hear it ALL the time: “It came out of nowhere.” “He’s just so unpredictable.” “He didn’t even growl, he just snapped.”

Growling is only one of many warning signs that can come before a dog bites. Just like humans, dogs show discomfort long before they resort to physical action. If biting is the equivalent of punching or shoving someone, growling is like saying very clearly, “I’ve had enough. Knock it off.”

But neither humans nor dogs start there.

Everyone has a different threshold, but there are countless body language signals used to deescalate situations before anything verbal or physical happens. Humans create space, avoid or hold eye contact, cross their arms, turn away. Our bodies speak before our mouths do.

Dogs do the same. They use space, eye contact, and body language to communicate discomfort well before a growl ever happens. They may freeze, tense up, lick their lips, yawn, lift a front paw—subtle signals meant to say, “I’m uncomfortable,” and give others a chance to change the situation or relieve the pressure they’re feeling.

But as humans, we often don’t listen to the more subtle signs. So freezing turns into tension and tension becomes attempts at creating space and sometimes they skip the growl all together because nothing they’re trying is working.

It’s rarely out of nowhere. There’s almost ALWAYS signs a dog is about to bite. If you own a dog or spend time around dogs, learning their language isn’t optional—it’s your responsibility.

Welcome to the Pack Forrest!

Forrest came in a little unsure of himself. He was a little nervous with both us and the pack. Throughout the day we showed him all of the things he could accomplish like the treadmill, the jump boxes, and the loop! He grew in confidence and also came to enjoy hanging out with his Boot Camp Trainer that day. We are so excited to continue building Forrest up!
