They will shake their tails when they are happy, turn their head away and lick their lips when they tell you that they are nervous, if they cry while they are in front of your door it’s obvious that they want to take you for a walk. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), “when your dog is relaxed and happy, his eyes will be their normal shape. When your dog is relaxed and happy, he’s likely to have his mouth closed or slightly opened. When your dog is relaxed, he will hold his tail in its natural position. If he’s feeling happy, he may wag it gently from side to side.”

That being said, it’s important to pay more attention to your dog’s body language, because they can talk to you, but using their own language.
