What Your Dog Is Really Saying When They Give You 「Puppy Eyes」
露出呆萌的眼神
Most people assume that when a dog give you the 「puppy eyes,」 they’re begging or trying to look cute so that you』ll give them attention (or a delicious treat). However, the reality is that they are showing you love and affection.
很多多認為狗狗用這種眼神看著你是為了裝可愛以吸引人們的注意力（或得到可口的食物）。然而，它們實際上是在向你傳達愛意。
When they look at you with innocence it means that they love you and it’s basically them giving you a hug or a kiss. So, if you catch your dog looking at you like this, it means you’re doing something right.
當它們用非常天真的眼神看著你的時刻，這意味著它們喜歡你，也是狗狗表達擁抱和親暱的一種方式。因此，如果你看到狗狗這樣看著你，這意味著你做了正確的事情。
Your Dog Thinks Highly of You If They Sleep In Your Bed
和你一起睡覺
If your four-legged friend prefers to sleep with you rather than on the floor or even in their own bed, that means that you’re the number one person in your dog’s life. They want to spend as much time with you as possible, even if that means you’re sleeping.
如果狗狗喜歡和你一起睡覺，而不是在地上或它們自己的床上睡覺的話，這意味著你是它生命中最重要的人。它們像儘可能地陪著你，甚至在睡覺時也如此。
So, if your dog tries to climb up onto the bed with you to sleep, you should consider it the ultimate compliment. More so, it would make them incredibly happy if you let them up.
因此，如果你的狗上了你的床，你應該將這當成最極致的讚美，另外，如果你允許它上床的話，它們會無比開心。
Getting Tackled Is a Sign of Affection
差點把你撞倒
Getting tackled by your dog when you walk through the door isn’t always the most pleasant experience. Sometimes they may unintentionally scratch you, or if they’re big enough, knock you over. However, this isn’t them trying to get your attention or simply trying to be annoying — typically, they’re just expressing how happy they are to see you.
每當你回家時，你的狗狗會馬上撲到你的身上，大部分的時候會讓你感到愜意，但有時並不如此。有時狗狗會在無意識的情況下抓傷你，或因過於高大而把你撞到。不過這並不是為了吸引你的注意力或僅僅讓自己變得惹人厭，通常，這只是在表達他們看到你的喜悅之情。
The act of jumping on you is like a human jumping for joy. They want to show how much they』ve missed you and that they’re happy you’re home.
人們在開心時會歡呼雀躍，狗狗跳起來也是表達的同一個意思。他們想要表達它們對你的思念之情，以及它們很告訴看到你回家。
Your Dog Might Not Actually Want to Play Fetch
它們並不是想要玩接球遊戲
f a dog is carrying around a ball or toy in its mouth, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it wants to play fetch. In fact, sometimes it can mean the exact opposite. Dogs will often bring toys to people they like so that you can play with it too.
如果狗狗叼著球，這並不意味著它們想要玩接球遊戲，事實上，它們有時表達的是相反的意思。狗狗把球給你是因為它們想要和你互動。
They want to show it to you and let you enjoy it too, so instinctively throwing anything your dog brings to you might hurt their feelings.
它們想要表達對你的喜愛之情，讓你變得開心，所以，如果你馬上把球丟出去了，它們可能會很失望。
What It Means If Your Dogs Stares At You Before You Leave
離別時盯著你
Leaving your dog behind at home can be hard to do. They know that you’re leaving and it can make them sad. Some dogs just sit and calmly watch as you walk out the door, which can make you feel guilty. However, their calmness proves that while they are sad that you’re leaving, they are assured that you will be back.
狗狗看到你離開也會很傷心，但有些狗狗會安靜坐著，目視你離開家裡，它們這樣做的原因是確定你會回家。
If your dog is particularly calm when you leave them it’s because they trust you and will patiently await your return.
如果你在離開時看到狗狗表現得非常鎮靜，那麼這是因為它們相信你，會耐心的等你回家。
Eye Movements
眼球運動
When it comes to dogs』 moods, they are a lot like humans. You can tell so much just by looking at their eyes. If they’re sad or tired, their eyes will hang low and your pup will look down at the ground. If they’re excited, their eyes will be wide open and they』ll be looking around everywhere
狗狗表達心情的方式和人非常相像，你能從它們的眼神中看到一絲線索。它們如果很傷心或疲憊的話，眼睛會低垂著或看著地面，如果它們很興奮的話，眼睛會瞪得很大，還會到處亂看。
If they want something, they may look at you and raise their eyebrows as if asking you a question. For most dogs, looking at their eyes will tell you more than their tail will.
如果他們想要得到什麼，它們會看著你和皺眉頭，就好像要問你什麼問題一樣。對於大部分的狗狗來說，它們的眼神比尾巴傳達的信息更多。
If Your Dog Leans On You, They’re Basically Hugging You
靠著你
Have you ever noticed your dog leaning on you whenever you’re just lounging around? It might not even be all that noticeable, but we bet your pup has put their body weight against you more than a handful of times.
你在休息的時候，有沒有注意到狗狗會挨著你坐著呢？它們可能不會時時都這樣做，但你可能注意到它們有幾次會這樣。
This doesn’t mean that they’re being lazy and can’t stand on their own, they’re actually hugging you. This is one of the ways they can connect physically with you and is something that they can initiate.
這是它們在擁抱你，而不是想要靠著你。這是想要和你親密接觸的一種方式。
Cuddles After Eating
吃完飯坐在蜷縮在你旁邊
Does your dog like to come and cuddle after they just ate? Much like sleeping in your bed, this is another sign that you’re one of their favorite people (if not their favorite!). After a meal they might be ready to take a nap and they want to do it in the comforting presence of you.
你的狗狗會不會在吃完飯後蜷縮在你旁邊？和在你的床上睡覺一樣，這是它們把你視為最喜歡的對象之一的一個標誌 （如果不是最愛的那個人）。在吃完飯後，它們會想小睡一下，而且她們想要在你在它旁邊，這樣它們才會感覺到舒適。
Yawning Doesn’t Just Mean Your Pup Is Tired
打呵欠
While yawning may seem like a natural sign that an animal is tired, it’s a little bit different for dogs. While we see our dogs yawn all of the time, it’s actually a treat that we get to. It means that they feel safe around you and trust you.
打呵欠可能看上去會是動物表達疲勞的一種本能反應，但這對狗狗並不適用。雖然我們多數時間都看到它們在打哈親，這實際上是他給我的一種高大上的待遇，因為這意味著它們對我們有安全感。
In the wild, a yawn is considered to be a sign of submission, so when you see your dog yawn 15 times a day, it means that they’re completely relaxed.
在野外的時候，打呵欠是投降的意思，因此，如果你看到狗狗每天打了15次哈欠，這意味著它們非常放鬆哦~
When Your Dog Puts One Paw Up They’re Trying to Figure Something Out
把一隻爪子抬起來
Has your dog ever been walking along and suddenly stopped, holding one of its paws up in the air? While this may look unusual, it’s totally natural. This means that they are trying to figure something out. It’s a physical action that the cogs in their brain are turning!
你家的狗狗會不是突然停下來，抬起一隻爪子？這可能看上去不正常，但這完全是一種正常的現象，這意味著他們想要弄明白一件事情。
Usually when they’re doing this, they』ll also be sniffing like crazy in every direction. This is them playing detective and trying figure out something that caught their attention.
在通常的情況下，他們會嚮往各個方向聞去，這是它們在玩搜尋犯人的偵探遊戲呢~
Yawning May Also Mean Your Dog Is Uncomfortable
打呵欠的另一種意思
While yawning around people a dog knows can mean that they feel very comfortable, constant yawning in public (or where a dog is not as comfortable) can mean something entirely different. When they are yawning in public, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re sleepy and that it’s time to go home, it’s a sign that your dog may be uncomfortable or anxious.
打呵欠除了是狗狗表達愜意的一種方式外，有時還會有另外一種完全不同的意思。當它們在公共場合大呵欠，這並不意味著它們想睡覺或想回家，而是在表達它們不舒服或相當焦慮。
So keep an eye open, and if your dog is doing this in an unfamiliar place, it’s probably because they’re uncomfortable.
請保持警惕，如果狗狗在不熟悉的地方打呵欠，這可能是因為它們不太適應。
The Reason Your Pet Wants to Lie On Your Feet Is Adorable
躺在你的腳上
If you have a dog, it’s not uncommon to feel them lay right on top of your feet whether you’re sitting on the couch or at the dinner table. Some people might find this annoying at times while others may think it’s adorable.
如果你是狗主人，你經常可以發現這種行為。有的人會認為很討厭這種做法，而其他人會認為這非常可愛。
However, the real meaning when a dog lays on your feet is to feel as close to you as possible and also as a sign of protection. In addition, the second they feel you get up, they』ll happily get up to allow you to move.
然而，它們這樣做事想要和你保持儘可能近的距離，也是為了保護你。另外，在你起身的時，他們會站起身來。
Flicking Their Tongues Is a Way of Apologizing
吐出舌頭
Supposedly, after a dog knows that they』ve done something wrong and wants to apologize, they will approach you and flick their tongue out of their mouth as a sign of apology. This is basically them acknowledging that they knew they did something bad and they’re sorry.
這可能是知道它們做出了事情，想要表達歉意的一種表達方式。
Typically, when a dog does this, they will also try to look as innocent as possible because they know that us humans are suckers for their adorable faces, even if they just peed on the floor.
一般來說，即使是尿溼了地板，它們還是會表達出天真無邪的樣子，因為它們知道主人非常心軟的。
Why Your Dog Chews On the Furniture
咬家具
If your dog is constantly chewing on furniture, whether they’re a puppy or not, means that they aren’t getting enough exercise and don’t know how else to get their energy out. Taking them for a walk might not solve all of your problems but it’s a step in the right direction.
如果出現這樣的狀況，無論是小狗還大狗狗，這意味著它們的運動量不夠，而且它們不知道如何釋放自己的能力。帶它們出去玩可能不是最好的辦法，但是不錯的辦法。
It’s usually pretty clear when your dog isn’t getting enough exercise, and this is one of the biggest signs. So, if you’re tired of your dog destroying your furniture, helping them be more active should become a priority.
你通常非常清楚你們家的狗狗的運動量太少，這也是最明顯的一個暗示。所以為了避免它們啃咬家具，你應該讓增大活動量成為它們的重中之重。
Cocking Their Head To The Side
頭往一邊傾斜
Many people talk in a higher pitch when speaking to their dogs. When you’re talking to your dog in your 「doggie voice,」 sometimes they will cock their head to the side like they’re trying to listen to what you’re saying.
很多人會扯著嗓子和狗狗說話，但當你用輕聲和它說話時，有時他們會把頭傾向一邊，好像在試著聽清楚你所說的話一樣。
While this may be true, it doesn’t mean they’re responding differently because of your change in voice. What they’re really trying to do is pick out certain words like 「treat,」 「walk,」 or 「outside.」
雖然可能存在這種原因，但這並不意味著因為你減小了聲音，所以它們會不同的反應，它們真正想要做的是找出特定的詞語，如「食物」、「散步」或「外面」。
What It Means When Your Dog Is Howling Away
連續吼叫
While some people may find a dog’s howling to be particularly annoying, they aren’t just doing it to irritate you. Much like how it feels good to humans to yell or cry, howling feels the same way for dogs. It’s a release of sorts and helps them get rid of any internal feelings they may have inside.
雖然這種行為會讓很多人感到反感，但狗狗並不想這樣。就像人想要大喊大叫或哭泣一樣，狗也會想釋放情感，這有助於讓它們把心裡的苦楚都傾倒出來。
While most people assume that dogs howl like wolves in order to assert their dominance, they’re really doing it because it feels good to do!
大部分人認為狗像狼一樣嚎叫是想要維護自己的統治地位，不過並不像人們想的那樣，狗狗這樣做是因為這能夠讓它們心情愉悅！
Why Your Dog Walks In Circles Before Lying Down
轉圈圈後坐下
Now this is particularly interesting. Have you ever noticed that dogs sometimes walk in circles before lying down? This is a habit that they might have inherited from their wolf ancestors. Wolves do this before lying down in order to flatten any leaves or debris that may make their resting spot uncomfortable.
這是狗狗從它們的祖先，也就是狼那裡遺傳得來的一種行為。狼喜歡在躺下前把葉子或雜物弄平整，以確保它們休憩的地方能更加的舒適。
Although it’s unlikely that there’s much debris around your dog’s bed or on the kitchen floor, it’s an interesting habit that’s also humorous to watch them do.
但狗狗的床邊或廚房的地面可能並沒有任何雜物，這只是一種非常有趣的行為。
Panting Helps Your Pup Cool Down
喘氣
if your dog is panting relentlessly, that means that they are overheating. Panting is a way that dogs help themselves cool down since they don’t sweat like us humans. So if a dog is aggressively panting, they’re trying to regulate their temperature and probably needs some water to help as well.
如果你家狗狗一直在不停的喘氣，這意味著它們非常的熱。喘氣是狗幫助自己降溫的一種方式，因為它們不會像人類一樣出汗。如果它們一直喘個不停，那麼它們是在降低自身的溫度，可能還需要喝一些水來幫助降溫。
If the dog isn’t hot, they might be trying to relieve pain or stress. While most dogs pant regularly, it’s important to keep on them depending on the situation.
如果狗狗並不熱，它們可能是在緩解疼痛或壓力。大部分的狗會經常喘氣，但重要的是要留意它們喘氣的背景。
Barking Can Mean Different Things
吼叫
A dog’s bark can mean numerous things depending on the situation, how they bark, and what they’re barking at. if a dog is barking particularly loudly and rapidly, they may be showing aggression or could be sensing danger and are trying to alert you.
狗狗之所以會大吼大叫有很多原因，具體的原因要視環境、叫的方式和吼叫的對象而定。如果狗狗叫得很大聲急切，那麼可能是要展現出攻擊性的行為為或是感覺到了危險，想讓你注意到某些事情。
If a dog is doing short and soft barks it can mean that they wants to play and are excited. However, if you hear a dog yelp loudly, it most likely means that they’re in pain.
如果狗狗叫聲短促溫柔，這可能意味著它們想要玩且很興奮。不過，如果你聽到狗狗尖叫的話，這很可能意味著他們不舒服。
