Labradors have feelings too...

Doggie Language

 

As you know, humans communicate with language however;dogs like Labradors mainly communicate by body language. Their "language" includes tail, ear, body position, movement, and facial expression. Your Labrador is relaxed when their mouth is slightly opened which appears to be smiling. The tail may be wagging in a swishing back and forth.

 

Face: Dogs will wrinkle or strainghten their foreheads to show their confusion. This can happen when you fake throw a tennis ball for our dog to catch.

 

Ears: If a dog's ears are raised, he is relaxed and may even be listening to you. If they are back he is scared or dominated.

 

Tail: If the tail wags more to the right, it is a good sign however; if he wags more to the left it indecates bad feelings.

Here is a picture of a dog being dominated... Her ears are back and she ate the trash.
