It’s important to remember that no single body posture or gesture is universally “good” or “bad” when it comes to canine communication. Instead, it’s best to look at the whole picture and evaluate the dog’s behavior in context.

For example, a dog’s raised hackles (the hair on their back) can indicate fear, aggression, or excitement, depending on the dog’s overall posture and the situation. Similarly, a dog who is baring their teeth may be displaying aggression, or they may be smiling and playfully inviting interaction. Understanding the nuances of canine body language takes practice, but it can help you better communicate with your dog and keep them safe in different situations.
