These three examples of canine body language are my most frequently used ...
Confident I stand straight and tall with my head held high, ears perked up and eyes bright. My mouth may be slightly open but is relaxed. My tail may sway gently, curl loosely or hang in a relaxed position. I am friendly, non-threatening and at ease with my surroundings.
Happy A happy dog will show the same signs as a confident dog. In addition, I usually wag my tail and sometimes hold my mouth open more or even pant mildly. I appear even more friendly and content than the confident dog, with no signs of anxiety.
Playful A playful dog is happy and excited. His ears are up, eyes are bright and tail wags rapidly. I jump and run around with glee. Often, a playful dog will exhibit the "play bow" - front legs stretched forward, head straight ahead, rear end up in the air and possibly wiggling. This is most certainly an invitation to play! I say LET'S GO!
