healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2022/07/15/reading-dog-body-language.aspx Story at-a-glance Dogs communicate with us all the time, just not in our language — which is why it’s our job to learn their language Some dog behavior, such as barking, is often misinterpreted by humans as aggressive Learning what your dog’s body language and behavior is communicating will help you better understand his needs, and allow you to respond appropriately My notes: When you're around your pet long enough, you get to understand the different types of barks, whines, growls & what they all mean.

healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2022/07/27/behavior-problems-in-dogs.aspx Story at-a-glance A recent study of over 4,400 dogs turned up 30% with problematic repetitive behaviors, including tail chasing, pacing, surface licking, and others Environmental, lifestyle, and genetic factors appear to influence a tendency toward repetitive behaviors; dogs of first-time dog owners, those who live with large families, “lonely only” dogs, and those who get too little exercise are more likely to engage in such behaviors Other risk factors include breed, age, and neuter status Dogs who perform repetitive behaviors not related to an underlying medical condition are said to have canine compulsive disorder (CCD); dogs with CCD and humans with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) share several traits involving both biological and environmental influences Dogs with repetitive behaviors should be examined by a veterinarian to rule out underlying medical conditions; for dogs with a clean bill of health, the right diet, a dog “job” or hobby, and lots of physical activity are extremely important in the management of CCD My notes: Now this one deals with dog behavior Problems. Focusing on Repetitive Behaviors.

I have a husky and her ears go back and her tail starts to wag when she is happy or excited to meet somebody new, she is not aggressive or afraid at all, I think it just depends on the dog
