What can I tell about my dogs by the way she holds her ears?

Question

She is a dachshund mix and has big ears which she moves in all different ways. I would like to know what she is implying by the way she holds them.

Answer 1

yes okay here are some of the sighns

1)ears flat aginst the head teeth bared = angry

2) ears flat aginst the head looking up no teeth bared = scared or submissive

3) ears stright forward = alert or just looking around

4) ears fallowing you around as you make soud = just listing to sounds

those are all the ones i can think of for now

hope they help =)

Answer 2

When a dog's ears are down, that means they are unhappy.

Answer 3

Perked ears- Listening/ excited

Flat/ laid back ears- sad/ agressive/ irritated

Relaxed ears- relaxed lol

well my beagle is the same way

But i'm no dog whisperer so thats all i got

xD

Answer 4

my rotty tilts his head to the side and perks his ears up when he doesn't know what I'm saying.. I know this because I talk to him all the time LOL (i know... i'm weird) and i'll ask him different questions like "Wanna play outside?" or "Need to pee?" ... the questions that I haven't asked before, he tilts his head to the side for.

Answer 5

Signs of confidence: erect stance (standing tall), tail up, tail wagging in a slower sweep, ears pricked up or relaxed, direct look; relaxed, smaller pupils.

Playful:  The dog's ears are up and forward

Stress: ears back

Aggressive:  ears "pinned" back close to the head
