Dog body language

Understanding your dog by looking at it's...

Ears
Good: Relaxed and perked up.
Bad: ears are up or forward.
Tail
Good: Tail is wagging
Bad: Tail is behing the legs
Nose- good thing happening
Eyes
Good: No eye contact
Bad: eyes stare at you
Body
Good: relaxed body no hair standing
Bad: Body might shake, freeze and hair might stand up oh and leg is raised.
mouth
Good: Relaxed might pant or just be closed
Bad: Licking nose (stress) growl and show teeth.

What are they saying????

I like you - may lick you, Tail wag, may sniff you.

Back off - Eye staring, growling showing teeth, leg raised, tail between legs, freeze.

I want to play - body bow position and tail is wagging.
