#19 Decoding Dog's Ear and Tail Signals

Dogs communicate a lot through their ears and tails. When a dog is curious or attentive, its ears perk up, often pointing towards whatever has captured its interest. But what does it mean when a dog's ears are up while its tail is relaxed and its mouth is open?

A relaxed tail and an open mouth are signs of a dog being at ease. So, if your dog displays perked ears along with these relaxed features, it's likely just casually curious or attentive, without any sense of anxiety or alertness. This combination of signals indicates that your dog is comfortable and relaxed.
