Eye Movements
In some ways, dogs and humans communicate their emotions in similar ways. They, like humans, express a lot of their feelings through their eyes. They look down to the ground when they’re sad or tired. They open their eyes wide and look around excitedly when they’re excited.
They’ll look at you and possibly raise their eyebrows as if they’re asking you a question when they want something. When looking at a dog’s eyes rather than their tail, you can get a sense of how they’re feeling.
Why Your Puppy Bows
There are several reasons why a dog bows. They bow by lowering their heads while maintaining a straight posture throughout their body. In most cases, it is an indication that they want to participate.
They might start swinging their hips or wagging their tails wildly and excitedly. This is the most common sign that your dog wants to play with you. This is referred to as the “play bow” by dog trainers.
