The language is based on dog barking, body movements and attitudes. All dogs used common gestures to communicate, and although the nature or structure of each race influences their expression, have adapted their language to be understood.

Through its barking, a dog can express frustration, boredom, hunger, interest, excitement, anxiety or nervousness.

Dogs show their feelings through a vocabulary or body language with which they express their fear, submission, dominance, aggression, or simply its desire to play.

The ears and especially the line, play an important role in the canine vocabulary.

Here are how the dogs demonstrate their basic feelings:

Fear
