Any doting dog owner will want to do everything they can to make sure their beloved pet is happy and healthy - but unfortunately, they can't tell us when something is wrong.
It's therefore important that every owner gets to know the tell-tale signs in their dog's behaviour, as while our four-legged friends can't let us know in our language when they're feeling stressed or in pain, they have their own ways of showing us that something isn't right. Animal behaviourist Anna Webb says pet owners often miss the subtle signs that indicate their pooch is uncomfortable - but they are easy to learn.
The expert explained: "Dogs are masters at trying to disguise pain, so it's about observing your pet and getting to know them overtime to recognise when they are trying to tell you something in dog language." From changes in behaviour to body language and facial expressions, there are several things that owners can look out for, The Mirror reports.
