xxx |  | The first goal of the would-be dog slave is to learn to emulate the behaviors of his canine cousin, and the absolute best way to learn what a dog does and why is through direct observation. The simple behaviors range from walking on all fours to wagging the tail, but for purposes of realism and identity the more complex behaviors are very desirable. Dogs use a fairly limited range of actions in the sense that many of them can be classified under one of several categories. In combination with body language and tone of voice the K9's range of communication becomes very well rounded and more than effective enough for communicating with humans under normal circumstances.
The list below describes some basic behaviors the prospective dog/dogslave needs to MASTER: Barking --
Dogs bark for many reasons, as a greeting, a warning, a threat, for attention, or even as a show of preference. The tone, volume, and body language during barking all come together to create a message for the humans or other dogs around. The critical thing in learning the body language aspect of barking is attention -- what is the animal focused on? Attention, posture, and tone generally combine to give humans a clue as to the meaning of a bark. Yapping --
Yapping sounds when when the pup is in need of attention or when trying to draw attention to something in its environment, although sometimes they do it out of sheer excitement. Yapping can also be a sign that the animal wants to play when combined with the right posturing. Whining/Whimpering -- Dogs will often whimper or whine when sad or distressed; for instance when hungry or being abused by their owners. Many dogs will whine at the door when in need of a walk. Growling --
Growling is generally a sign of aggression, extreme dislike or distress, or forcefulness. Dogs may growl to express a negative preference, warn an owner of a negative thing in the environment, or to warn another animal that it is considered a threat. Pawing --
A canine pawing at things usually wants something. Pawing the door means he probably wants to go out. When pawing the toys, he may want to play. When pawing his owner's leg with an accompanying soft whimper, he's probably feeling amorous. Sniffing --
A dog's nose tells it a lot about the world and smell is one of its most important senses. An interested or curious pup will sniff at anything new, and frequently at whatever happens to be on his mind at the moment -- toys, spots to go to the bathroom, etc. When meeting new people, a dog will usually build a catalogue of their scents by sniffing at their feet, crotch, ass, armpits, and so on. Licking --
Pups usually lick for out of affection or just because something tastes good. A lick at his MASTER'S boots generally shows submission, while licking at his hand or face can portray gratefulness, excitement, affection, or a host of other things depending on the animal's posture and expression. Some licking behaviors involve sexual instincts -- licking up spilled cum or cleaning one of his owner's toys, for example. Wagging --
A dog will wag its tail for many reasons, but the most common and universal is to show a range of happy emotions. A slow gentle wag can portray a content and relaxed pup, while a fast silly wag usually means excitement.
