Why Does Your Dog Bring You a Toy? It Isn't Play

When your dog brings you a toy, the easy read is that they want to play, and most of the time that read is wrong. The object in their mouth is usually doing a quieter job. Sometimes it's a wave of excitement they can't hold any other way. Sometimes it's an offering, the exact behavior certain breeds were built to deliver straight to your hands. And sometimes, at the worst possible moment, it's the same move used to ask for something completely different. We slow down and read what the rest of the body is actually saying, so the next time it happens you'll know which one you're looking at, and what to do in the ten seconds that follow. Watch to the end, then tell me the one specific object your dog always grabs. I read every reply. #dog #goldenretreivers #dogpsychology #dogvideos #pets
