Understanding dog body language includes a unique set of ways to communicate emotions and intentions. This can be completely different from how humans communicate. A lot of dog communication involves barking, whining, and growling, so it's important to know what a dog's vocalizations mean. One of the best ways to understand a dog's body language is to recognize the state of their eyes. A dog that is calm, its eyes are completely normal. If you feel that your dog's eyes are too big, your dog is probably feeling scared or threatened.
