How Pets Communicate Feelings: Decoding Dog Body Language 🐶❤️
Pets communicate their feelings in many ways, but sometimes their signals are misunderstood. In this episode, expert Ness Jones explains the difference between separation anxiety and “separation related behavior,” and shares the most common signs that your dog is struggling: barking, howling, crying, whining, and destructive behaviors like chewing furniture or electronics. Ness emphasizes that these behaviors aren’t always rooted in anxiety—they could be something else entirely, and understanding the correct terminology helps pet parents respond with empathy and effective training. She shares her “Alone Method” and holistic approach, developed from personal experience and professional expertise, to help guardians truly listen to their pets and build deeper emotional connections. 👉 If you want to learn how to read your pet’s emotional signals and respond with compassion, this episode is for you. 👉 Like, comment “PET FEELINGS” if you want more episodes on pet communication. 👉 Subscribe for expert insights on decoding your dog’s behavior.
