The dog communicates with his fellows and with man, sending chemical messages, emitting sounds and adapting postures, such as when the leg up and brings out a little urine in reality, it transmits a signal to one of its congeners, which recognize the passing there.
Bodily fluids (urine, feces, sexual secretions and perinea glands, saliva) contain chemicals that provide a variety of information to other dogs (if it is a male or a female, if the female is in heat and so on).
Permian gland secretions require an explanation (for all dog owners have certainly felt the stench without knowing the source or function) is a brown substance, dense color and odor, produced by two glands located on either side of the anus, the animal emits when it is very frightened or to mark its territory.
In this form of olfactory communication is associated with a form of visual communication for our four-legged companion is to release this secretion, hold the tail high in a dominant attitude.
The voice is another way information exchange among dogs. When they do not yet see and are not able to move, they "interact" with their mother in tears, groans and yelps.
Over time, this kind of language is evolving and vocalizations change according to the situation in which the animal is located. Thus, it will bark loudly and insistently to warn his companions and the man in the presence of a stranger in its territory; lair when he will be afraid or feel a pain; if it seeks consolation, cuddling or wants to be forgiven a trick, it japer; he will growl to prevent his opponent that his presence is not appreciated; it will emit a particular bark when pursue its prey (and another when he will identify) to call the hunter; Finally, it will howl to seek the company.
In some breeds, selection and adaptation to certain environments, such as indoor life, minimized their vocal repertoire; in others, the increased specialization and refinement, as in guard dogs and hunting.
Bodily expressions, the filing of certain glands secretions, feces and urine in tactical locations and the vocals are all elements of a "ritualized" behavior of the wolf and the wild dog, which was retained by the domestic dog. These rituals help prevent deadly struggles for territory, dominance, females, while maintaining order between the members of the pack.
