Dog communication refers to movements and sounds dogs use to send signals to other dogs and other creatures (usually humans). Dog communication comes in a variety of forms and is part of the foundation of dog social behavior.
Dogs use certain movements of their bodies and body parts and different vocalizations to express their emotions: they move their ears, eyes, eyebrows, mouth, nose, head, tail and entire body, as well as barks, growls, whines and whimpers, and howls.
Dogs lack eyebrows, but some breeds have distinct markings above their eyes.
