Dogs are incredibly resilient creatures, but they also have their limits.

When a dog repeatedly tries to communicate discomfort or distress through subtle signals like yawning, lip licking, or avoiding certain activities, and those signals go unnoticed or ignored, they may feel compelled to escalate their behaviour to be heard.

This can manifest as growling, snapping, or biting – behaviours that are often misunderstood as aggression - when they are, in fact, desperate attempts to communicate.

By learning to recognise and respond to these signals, we can prevent potentially dangerous situations and foster better communication with our canine companions.

Our book Why Don't You Listen talks all about the signs of distress a dog might show, and is presented in a fun and engaging way. Aimed at children but great for the whole family!

Let’s hear your thoughts!

Episodic mandibular tremor manifested as teeth chattering might be a stress- or excitement-associated idiopathic movement disorder of dogs, although a manifestation of pain due to an underlying systemic disease should be first ruled out. 🐶
