Have you ever wondered if your dog understands you more than you think? There are a number of clues your dog reveals to you that will make this apparent. Dogs use body language to communicate with the humans they live with. Your furry friend also uses various vocal sounds to communicate what they are thinking about.

These signs of communication become very apparent especially if they haven’t seen you in a long time such as when you come home from work or even after you have played a round of golf. Typically a dog will greet you and often jump up and look for a sign that you understand that he or she needs to be touched. The jumping action often means that their front paws will touch you. This is a good thing. This may also mean they want to go for a walk. Your dog may also bark at you. This means they are anxious for your attention. Providing attention to them is good for their mental health. Taking them for a walk is also good for their health and will be good for yours as well.

     

Your pet dog understands that you will respond to such actions, such as jumping up and barking when you return home from a long day at work. Perhaps you will need to sit with them on the couch and cuddle. This could be done as you wait for your dinner to cook in the microwave or as you read your mail. This could also lead to taking your furry friend for a walk. Your dogs wanting you to cuddle with you could mean they are trying to communicate with you about going for a walk. They will understand that cuddling means ultimately you will be taking them for a walk. Going for a walk is very important for them as they will be able to use the full range of their senses. Of course, it means their very well-developed sense of smell. When talking them for a walk let them enjoy the use of their sense of smell.

Your dog uses his sense of smell a form of communication with other dogs and as a way of understanding where they have been before. They might even be trying to communicate where you should take them for a walk. This could also mean they understand that after you are taking them for a walk you will eventually give them a treat such as a milk bone.
