Five Signs That Indicate Your Dog Is Very Happy

Should we call it ‘tell-tale’ signs?

It takes very little to delight your pup. You can simply pat its head, and your sweet furry buddy will get overjoyed and excited. But there is happiness, and then there is circle-spinning, fur-standing elated. The latter suggests that your efforts have really made your pooch's day. If your four-legged companion exhibits the following behaviors frequently, it indicates you have a happy pup.

Makes eye contact with you at all times

If your canine looks you in the eyes at all times, it is a major indicator that suggests they trust you. Hence, if your pooch is blessing you with their adorably loving looks while you are sitting and relaxing with them, you sure have a happy fur baby. Dogs make eye contact to check if you are just as delighted as they are.

Your pooch greets you at the door.

Chances are, your doggo always patiently waits by the door for you when you are not home, and they get excited the moment you unlock the door — jumping in sheer joy and licking you to let you know how much they missed you. Regardless of the nature of your fur baby and their specific greeting approach, the message is very clear: they are happy to have you home. If your pooch greets you at the door, it suggests they share a positive relationship with you and are keenly waiting to spend time with you.

They want belly rubs from you.

A dog that does not hesitate to expose its belly— typically with a light panting, wagging tail, and open mouth—is exhibiting a gesture of trust to you. It suggests that your pup wants you to rub its belly and that it is not afraid of you.

They surrender their favorite toy to you.

Has your dog ever brought his favorite toy and smashed it on your lap or into your arms while you are working? Doggos normally would never renounce their favorite ball or chew toy, but if they still want you to have it, you must recognize it as a sign of gratitude.

Happy dogs have smiling faces.

Happy pooches often have smiley faces. They have an open mouth, the corners curl up, and while you can see some of their teeth, the expression does not seem aggressive at all.

It is essential to interpret the body language of your dog to determine their mood, state of mind, and emotional as well as physical well-being.
