The only dog training advice you’ll ever need right there

05/28/2026

Before a dog growls, lunges, or snaps (the “shout”), they are almost always communicating in “whispers.” These are the subtle, easily missed changes in their body language:

⏺️ Whites of the eyes showing - A whale eye

⏺️ A brief lip lick or yawn when they aren’t tired

⏺️ Walking away

⏺️ A slow, low tail wag that looks more like hesitation than joy

When we miss or ignore the whispers, dogs are forced to turn up the volume to get their point across. By learning to read the quiet moments, we can step in, advocate for them, and keep everyone safe and comfortable.

What’s a “whisper” your dog frequently uses? 👇

Sometimes you just need to put the reps in.
Sometimes you need to pivot and try something different. Sometimes you need a little combination of both. It’s called trial and error. It’s better than giving up, I promise!

This a longer video than we normally post so here is a summary:
1. You should always evaluate a dog based on their energy and body language as that is how dogs communicate.
2. A dog who is calm/submissive is basically always safe to be around.
3. A dog who is excited/submissive is safe in most scenarios, but can trigger problems depending on the other dogs around. This is very situationaly dependent.
4. A dog who is calm/dominant is also safe in most scenarios. But they will feel challenged by other dominant dogs. Two dominant dogs in close quarters are likely to trigger problems. A dog who is dominant towards humans is a liability to its owners.
5. A dog who is excited/dominant is most likely to trigger problems. They are in an unbalanced state that is not healthy for them to be in more often than not. Rewarding a dog for being excited/dominant is playing with fire. This is where professional intervention is needed.
6. Observe dog parks from outside the fence before entering. Evaluate the dogs that are already inside and consider whether or not they will be good role models for your dogs.
