Scroll below to know the 15 signs that show that your dog is trying to tell you something.
They are licking their nose and lips repeatedly
While the action of dogs licking their nose is completely normal, doing this very thing repeatedly is not a very good sign. It shows that the dog is in some kind of stress and needs to be taken care of. They also do this when they are afraid of strangers.
They are making themselves look small
So, how many times have you seen your dog hunching in front of you, well probably every time when you scold them. Well, whenever you see them in this position, it shows that they are incredibly scared and its times to stop the scolding.
They are destroying your shoes and slippers
Dogs when young usually feast on rubber slippers a lot and that is because they are teething. If you are frequently finding your shoes getting destroyed or peed over then its time to give some more amount of time to your pet. They usually do this because they don’t want you to leave them and go out.
They are sitting on your feet
The feeling when your dog is sitting on your feet is amazing and feels oh so cute but this action of theirs is actually a sign of dominance by their side. It shows that they are being possessive about their human.
They are staring at you continuously
Dogs staring at your continuously seems a little over the board but this is also a sure fire sign of separation anxiety. Dogs by staring you in the eye might want to show that they indeed need you there and then.
They are shivering
Shivering is a critical sign and thus should be taken care of there and then. It might mean that they are sick but the most common reason for this kind of behavior is that they had a trauma recently.
They are climbing on the couch
This action is not a very good sign as this shows your pet is trying to establish their authority over you. The couch climbing should be restricted as and whenever it happens.

Leaning over is not something to be scared off and just means that they want your attention and some more care. It might also mean that they are scared of something and they want you to protect them.
They are curling their lips
Many times, you might sight your pooch curling their lips in stress while you are eating or are cuddling some other pet. They do this because they are angry and are wanting to snap back.
Their eyes are extremely wide
Dogs opening their eyes a little wider than ever before shows that they are in the great amount of stress due to some physical sickness or a mental stress. You should take them for a checkup to the Vet.
They are groaning or whining
This might be the action that you see him or her doing almost every day. But when they actually increase the frequency of this behavior, it means that you are giving them quite a less time with yourself.
They are staying close to you
