Do you know how to tell if your dog is stressed out. Woof. 

We had so much show today I promised to carry this over to my blog and here it is!

Don Hanson is a dog behavior consultant from Bangor, Maine.  Basically, that means he studies the way dogs behave in order to understand how they communicate with humans and other dogs.

--According to Don, dogs . . . just like people . . . can get stressed out.  And the MOST common reason dogs get stressed is because humans don't know how to communicate with them.

--When a dog becomes stressed out, it can get aggressive.  According to Don, people get bitten because they don't recognize when their dog is becoming stressed . . . and that's a problem. 

--So what are some signs that YOUR dog might be stressed out?

--Excessive sniffing

 --Excessive yawning

 --Averting its eyes

 --Licking its nose

 --Squinting

 --Excessive scratching  (Bangor Daily News)

****I'm not sure about my dogs, but now I know why I'm stressed!
