Canine behavior refers to the actions and reactions of dogs in various situations. It is influenced by factors such as breed, environment, and socialization. Understanding these behaviors can help owners provide better care and training for their pets. Common behaviors include barking, wagging tails, and body language that indicate emotions like happiness or fear. Dogs are social animals and often communicate with each other and humans through body language and vocalizations. For example, a dog may show submission by lowering its body or rolling over. Recognizing these signals can enhance the bond between a dog and its owner, leading to a more harmonious relationship.
