Border Collie Body Language

Body Language is something that all dogs have. Not only dogs- but even you and all animals. It is very important to know how to read dog body language. It can help you and your pet, and remember, your dog can read your body language, too there is no way to lie to your dog about how you are feeling.

Calm
You want your Border Collie friend to be calm. It helps stay safe. Whenjoy you are going to take your Border Collie for a walk never do this:

''" Hey Fido! You want to go for a walk? Yes you do! Come on! Let's go! Let's take a Walk!" *grabs leash excitedly**Fido jumps around and knocks over a pot* "..Uh ...whatever let's go" * FIdo jumps around and you can not get the leash on* *you finaly get the leash on, you o''pen the door, Fido drags you out*

That will make your dog jump on you and run around, hurt itself, or anyone. Try this:

''*Calmly thinks about taking your dog for a walk* "Fido, come!" *Fido runs in* "Fido, sit" *Fido sits* "Good Dog" *''Grabs leash and puts it on*

See the difference? It is important to keep you and your Border Collie safe.

Submisive
It is important for your Border Collie, or eny breed of dog, to be submisive. For dogs you are submisive, or donomant. Remember that in the dog world there are Alphas, and you must be Alpha. Submisive is surender and saying you will not cause trouble. It is a good thing.

Your pet is happiest submisive. If it is domonate it will be trouble-making, jumpy, snapy. Calm and Submisseve are the best two Body Languages to see in a your pet. That means that they are happy, joyful, and trust you.

Fear
When your dog is scared, he/she will have it's tail between it's legs.

Anxious
When your dog is anxious it will be jumpy, and it may wag it's tail. When a dogs tail wags it dose not always mean it is happy.
