He is laying down facing forward, but his eyes are looking up at the person leaning over him to pet his head. This position can be uncomfortable for a lot of dogs. This is an early sign to humans to back up and give the dog some space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2866e8151e984b98e97b48/4c3f9f48-cc01-4e9f-8095-02b6eb4593f3/IMG_1543.jpg Blog - Learning Dog Body Language: How to Understand What Your Dog Is Saying - Tigerlily rolls on her back to look at me with soft eyes while I was petting her.

Look at each dog's eyes, ears, mouth, and body posture. This is where context really matters! For many dogs this photo could be showing something bad about to happen with all that tension. But for Sully and Tigerlily this is a daily routine where they get close do some short slow interacting and then go about their own businesses. We can't know exactly what they're conversation means, but it's communication with each other nonetheless. https://www.smartwithdogs.net/blog/january-is-national-train-your-dog-month monthly 0.5 2026-06-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2866e8151e984b98e97b48/aa0ecfdb-c0c1-4abd-ac99-dad66c81fbbe/IMG_9518.jpg Blog - January Is National Train Your Dog Month - Tigerlily stations on her dog bed waiting to see if I'll give her more shreddable goodies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2866e8151e984b98e97b48/67dd3903-0642-4146-a026-be254ecc3810/IMG_2155.jpg Blog - January Is National Train Your Dog Month - Webster does a check-in with me while doing a session at our local park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2866e8151e984b98e97b48/30c78eea-4b39-44ab-ac84-de8012a01e88/IMG_2439.jpg Blog - January Is National Train Your Dog Month - Sully nose deep in one of the many puzzle feeders he was engaging with. https://www.smartwithdogs.net/blog/thinking-about-getting-a-new-pet-for-the-holidays-what-to-consider-before-bringing-one-home monthly 0.5 2026-06-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2866e8151e984b98e97b48/818e5ad2-112f-4457-9b5a-9633a5f2e397/IMG_7206.jpeg Blog - Thinking About Getting a New Pet for the Holidays?
