How to Tell If Your Dog Is Feeling Cold
Dogs can't speak, so if they feel cold they convey it through body language — but often they just endure silently, which is bad for their health. Today we teach how to tell if your dog is cold.
Can Dogs Understand What We Say?
Dogs can't speak our language, but they are remarkably attuned to us. Through tone of voice, facial expression, and body language they pick up a wealth of information, and with training they can learn dozens—even over a hundred—words and commands. They also read routines (grab the leash and they know a walk is coming) and talk back through tail wags, retreats, and whimpers. Their grasp of grammar is limited, so keep cues short and pair them with gestures. In short, dogs may not understand sentences, but patient training builds genuine two-way communication.
How Do Dogs Apologize?
Dogs show apology through body language, behavior, and sound—lowering the body, dropping the tail, squinting, ears back, a woeful whine, or returning to their crate to reflect. Some nuzzle, show the belly, or follow with soft eyes. Reading these helps build a stronger bond.

What Are the Symptoms of a Dog in Heat (Estrus)?
Male dogs in heat: frequent urination to mark territory; strong interest in females; restlessness and agitation; mild aggression; attempts to escape. Females: vaginal bleeding or discharge; raised tail exposing genitalia; clinginess and interest in males; possible appetite loss and anxiety. During heat, leash tightly to avoid mating or fights. If you don't plan to breed, consider spaying/neutering to avoid health and breeding risks.
How can you tell a cat is angry?
When a cat is angry or unhappy, it shows through a series of body-language and behavioral signs. For example, when impatient, a cat swings its tail from side to side a bit quickly. When angry, it often raises its tail and fluffs out its fur. Second, when uneasy or angry, a cat may show 'airplane ears' — ears pinned back. In addition, when a cat is very angry it may hiss or spit, and its back may arch with fur standing up, taking a defensive or attacking posture.
