Dog-to-Dog Communication

Dogs communicate with each other constantly. But their conversations are subtle, fast, and easy to miss. Small shifts in posture, eye contact, movement, and space can completely change the tone of an interaction.

Here I break down real moments between dogs so you can learn to “read the room.” Each clip shows a short social exchange — tension, release, negotiation, pressure, or invitation — with simple explanations to help you understand what each dog is saying.

When you begin to notice these patterns, you can step in earlier, support your dogs more effectively, and build a home where everyone feels safe and has healthy boundaries.
