The Body Language of Dogs – Dominance

Wednesday, August 18, 2010 @ 12:08 PM

A dominant dog will try to assert himself over other dogs and sometimes people. He stands tall and confident and may lean a bit forward. His eyes are wide and  he makes direct eye contact with the other dog or person. Hisears are up and alert, and the hair on his back may stand on edge. He may growl lowly. His demeanor appears less friendly and possibly threatening. If the behavior is directed at a dog that submits, there is little concern. If the other dog also tries to be dominant, a fight may break out. A dog that directs dominant behavior towards people can pose a serious threat. Do not make eye contact and slowly try to leave. If your dog exhibits this behavior towards people, behavior modification is necessary.
