Are you curious to know whether your dog is happy or not? Is your pet’s joy the most precious thing for you? Does you pooch’s tacit signals make you confuse about his state of mind? If this is the case and you do not know whether your pet is happy or simply anxious then the answer is straight here. If you are clueless about whether your pet is happy or not then there are some simple pointers that will help you gauge your pet’s mood.
Behavioral signs that suggest that your pet is happy are:
Body speaks: Dogs cannot have a dialogue with us but they give away tacit signs through their body language. His eyes, tail and entire body will tell you the truth about his joyful mood. His body is the mirror of his heart, as he will show off his happiness by wagging his tail and wiggling his body.
His eyes can ooze that ecstasy and his jumping at the sight of seeing you says that he is happy to see you and loves your company. If he squeals or barks and moves around in front and back then he is certainly happy. If you see all these things in your dog then you score a rank in keeping your pet happy.
Pampering and body scratching: In his happy moods, he would roll over his back showing you his tummy for a lovely belly rub. Happy dogs show this behavior to suggest their playful mood. You can give him a good belly rub or scratch his back for a while to make him happier.
This kind of attention and physical contact keeps him in a blissful mood. Even simple pats on his head will give him the sense of happiness and builds trust with the owners. If your pet enjoys that occasional patting, belly rubs, ear rubs and back scratch then you score another brownie point as an owner.
Calm and contented demeanor: You know just like us, our furry pals also display a calm and contented demeanor. They may not show any excitement or playfulness and would just display the serenity of their minds by quietly sitting next to you.
If your four-legged friend sits next to you by keeping his head in your lap or cuddles up to you without any excitement then these are the signs that he is in bliss. You are a superlative pet parent if your canine child enjoys a quiet time in your presence.
To conclude, we all know without an iota of doubt that our pet brings immense joy in your life. On our part when we give him love, care, attention then that is enough for him, as he does not need many reasons to feel delighted. It is just that his expression of joy is different and exclusive. Just observe you pet and if you find things matching the pointers above then, rest assured about your pet’s pleasure and peace of mind as you are giving him both. Kudos to you!
