Dogs can’t talk like man, but they can tell you a lot with their body language. They often use their paws(爪子) to give out messages. If you have a pet dog, here is something you should know.
Dogs love being with people and enjoy playing with them. So, when your dog wants to get your attention(注意), he may tap(轻拍) you with his paws. It’s like his way of saying, “Hi, look at me!” What should you do then? You should play with him or take him for a walk. If your dog is hungry, he may use his paws to ask for food.
“When your dog is in a new place and paws at you, he’s saying he feels a little nervous(紧张的),” said Forrest, a dog lover. “You should try to make him feel relaxed.”
“If your dog puts his paws on you when you pet him, he’s just trying to show his love back,” said Forrest with a smile.
Getting to know your dog’s body language is like learning a new language. It can help you be friends with your pet dog. So, next time your dog taps you with his paws, take a minute to think about what he’s trying to say. It could be his way of saying, “I love you!”
