The Body Language of Dogs – Fear

Monday, August 16, 2010 @ 12:08 PM

The fearful dog combines submissive and anxious attitudes with more extreme signals. He stands tense, but is very low to the ground. His ears are flat back and his eyes are narrowed and averted. His tail is between his legs and he typically trembles. A fearful dog often whines or growls and might even bear his teeth in defense. He may also urinate or defecate. A fearful dog can turn aggressive quickly if he senses a threat. Do not try to reassure the fearful dog, but remove yourself from the situation calmly. If you are the owner, be confident and strong, but do not comfort or punish your dog. Try to move him to a less threatening, more familiar location.
