Growls, Barks, Whimpers, Whine and Howling
Communicating effectively with your human pup is an essential part of relationship building, and it goes a long in strengthening the existing bonds.
Human puppies make similar noises to their canine counterparts, but because the human voice box isn’t built to produce them, a pup will create the closest resemblance to a natural dog. The growl is perhaps the most difficult of the noises, but some people have serious issues with barking.
A puppy barks for a variety of reasons: to be pleased, thrilled, terrified, seeking attention, to alert you that something is wrong, or to warn someone or another pup to stay clear.
It can be tough to tell distinguish, which is why it’s crucial to pay attention to body language. For example, if the pup’s tail is wagging, what appears to be a bark may be a playful bark. The puppy may also bark in response to the barking of other puppies and real dogs.
A growl, like barking, can be motivated by a variety of factors. It is usually a threat or warning of some sort, but it can also be triggered by irritation, fear, or aggression. There are also some amusing growls.
If you’re not sure which behavior your pup is displaying, try and be cautious; if they’re scared or feel threatened, they may lash out at you if you exaggerate the situation. However, depending on what you’re doing at the moment and the pup’s body language, you’ll be able to tell what kind of growl it is.
A whimper, unlike the others, is unlikely to be fun, and it is not an aggressive vocalization. Instead, these sounds are usually related to bothering your human pup, such as being hurt, lonely, unhappy, or calling for attention.
All of these are true of the whine; however, they might be associated with enthusiasm and greetings from other pups. So, again, it depends on the tone and body language.
Howling is frequently triggered by a loud noise or a sense of loneliness, abandonment, neglect, or pain.
Head, Eyes, Tail & Body
The speed and size of a tail wag can reveal what he or she is thinking or feeling. For example, a big, quick wag is likely to be a cheerful, passionate, excited wag, especially if the wag is so evident that it moves the hips.
A modest sluggish wag, on the other hand, is uncertain; you won’t see this kind of wag very often in human puppies, but if you do, it could indicate that the pup isn’t sure what to make of a person/situation/pup/ or doesn’t fully grasp something.
The puppy language is what you need for a better and rewarding puppy play
