Here Is What Certain Dog Behaviors Really Mean

Bowing

There are a few reasons why your dog might bow. We’re talking about when they lower their heads and keep their bodies still. It usually means they want to play. Swinging hips and wagging tails in excitement are also common behaviors. Dog trainers typically call it the “play bow.”

Walking In Circles

Before lying down, your dog usually walks in circles a couple of times, right? This is most likely a behavior it got from its wolf ancestors. Wolves do this before laying down in order to flatten debris or leaves and make the surface more comfortable. It’s quite funny to see dogs do the same thing indoors.
