TikTok Videos About Greyhounds Raise Awareness About Dog Psychology
Have you ever looked at your dog and wondered what goes on inside its head? Do you think they have the same thoughts about figuring out what you might be thinking as well?
Probably not the second question, so let's focus on the first. Our pets have their own habits and reflexes; you might chalk it up to normal dog behavior, but if you observe them a little more closely, these behaviors can point to something that might make it easier to communicate with your pups.
Dogs are great at adapting to verbal cues from humans. We teach them to sit, stay, and roll over, and they all do it with a smile. Some even go beyond and become exceptional service dogs, breaking barriers to be the best companions to humans by communicating their thoughts through actions.
In addition to being companions, dogs can actually let you know that they love you or when they're scared in various ways, rather than just barking. They might lean on you, which is their way of hugging, or tuck their tail between their legs as if to say they're fearful.
Dogs can also communicate using actions they typically perform with their pack, which is natural for them. If they see you as part of their pack, they'll make sure to show you.
A dog mom posts TikTok videos about dog psychology featuring her greyhound, Millie.
Millie is an almost 2-year-old rescue and the subject of her owner's efforts to raise awareness about greyhounds.
Here's an example of one of milliethenoodlehorse's TikTok videos explaining dogs' behavior.
Pooping is one of the times when dogs are at their most vulnerable.
During this time, they might seek eye contact with you, but ultimately, they trust that you will protect them.
If you think your dogs are getting allergies while they're playing,
this is actually normal when they're play-fighting.
Dogs might not be the biggest fans of hugs,
but consider yourself lucky when they lean on you, as it is their own version of a hug.

No, your dog is not sleepy;
yawning is somewhat like a coping mechanism for them when they're trying to release stress.
Is your dog your best friend?
Because you might be theirs too.
Eye contact is a significant way for dogs to feel the love hormone...
otherwise known as oxytocin.
Dogs can be blindly loyal to the point that they think their human can do no wrong...
So if you accidentally hurt them, it's best to say sorry immediately.

Ever wondered why your pup is in the weirdest sleeping position?
Well, here you've got what's called the 'donut.'
This best preserves warmth and protects their body.
Some dogs need more comfort than others.
Falling asleep while surrounded by their blanket and toys will calm them.
This position is one of their most relaxed.
Side sleeping means they're at peace with their surroundings and factors like temperature.
Dogs do cuddle,
and if they sleep next to you like this, then you are exclusively part of the people they truly trust.

Millie would like to thank you for trying to understand your pets better with a little nose boop.
It's not always easy trying to communicate with your pets. There are times when you might feel very frustrated trying to decipher what goes on in their minds.
You'd think that if only they could tell you what's on their minds, it could save you the trouble. But the best you can do to reciprocate their love is to be aware of what their actions mean.
