  • The 2 Most Important Body Parts On Your Dog
    Nov 12 2025

    Join Maria in the latest episode of The Dog Gone Positive Way, where Maria shows new dog socialization with your already existing dog. We must take all the pressure off the dogs and lower expectations to what they can handle, not what we want. It is all about our pets, not us. When we take the pressure off and stop interfering, it is actually a beautiful thing to observe and learn what our dogs' bodies are really telling us. Our dogs primarily communicate with us through their body language, and of course, with one another. Of course, there is vocalization, but even before vocalization happens, there is body language. It is hardwired into us and into animals. It is part of survival. It can be so subtle that the human can’t even detect it. She shares a video of the first week of interaction with Tony, and a newly adopted dog, Love. A tail is one part of a dog’s body that is an information highway! Ever think about what happens when the is docked or the ears are cropped? What about their ears and the rest of their body? There is so much to discover just by watching dogs interact with one another without interfering, as long as it's a safe interaction, obviously. Remember, Maria encourages people to watch videos with the volume off, which gives you a new perspective on what you are seeing when you watch dogs play or what you think might be play. Join her as she in the new series on dog body language and newly adopted pets. These are some of the many questions that are answered for you in this Body Language Series. So sit back, relax, listen, and gain some more knowledge about what your dog’s tail is actually telling you. #bodylanguage #dog #Dogbehavior #dogtrainer #tails #tail #pets #introduction #newpet #multidog #Rehoming #Anxiety #wags #tailwag #Socialization #tailwagging #appeasement #dogaggression #Boundaries #Safety #ears #crop #dock #gentleleader #headcollar #dogmom #dogtraining
