Standing over or looming over a dog can create an uncomfortable feeling in some dogs.

While dogs can be trained to accept this behavior from humans, it is far easier for the dog owner to learn not to bend over a dog to pet her, at least until the dog is taught not to react adversely to this interaction. What dog owners often don’t realize is that, by the time they are moving to bend over the dog, they have already given several cues the dog is uncomfortable with. Dogs often express their unease though body language. Below is a list of the ways dogs may be trying to tell their owners they are uncomfortable, even before the owner gets close enough to bend to pet the dog.

Teach your client early identification of signals

The first step in changing the dog’s unwanted submissive reactions is to teach the clients to recognize the signals the dog is giving them that indicate the dog is feeling uncomfortable. If the clients learn to watch the dog for signals that she is feeling insecure, they can then learn to change their course of action before the dog submissively pees. By preventing a submissive peeing episode, the dog can learn to interact with the owner without engaging in overly submissive behavior. Some of the signals the client will benefit from learning include:

The dog diverts eye contract

The dog licks lips

The dog shows a slight tremble

The dog hunches or tightens up her posture

The dog turns her head
