Licking Lips
Adult dogs, unlike puppies, do not just lick around. When dogs lick their lips, it’s usually to soothe or calm the person who approaches them. If they are feeling threatened or aggressive, they will lick their lips.
Licking Lips
It is not uncommon for dogs to lick their lips when they are frustrated or confused to show that they understand and accept the gestures and actions of their owners.
Growling (And Soft Growling)
We, as humans, are usually kept away from dogs by their growling. It terrifies us and makes us feel threatened. Because a growling dog is a protective dog, our actions are justified (and not only theirs). There’s a good chance they’re insecure for a reason.
Growling (And Soft Growling)
A growling dog is more likely to become aggressive, which can lead to an attack. If your dog, on the other hand, produces a soft growl, it could be indicating that it is in a playful mood.
