SHAKE IT ALL OFF AND LET IT GO
Dogs constantly communicate through their body language. A “shake off” is one of the many types of body language and is one of the easier ones to notice. The shake off can provide us with important insights as to how our dogs are feeling.
Besides being a very effective way to get dry- (Dogs can remove up to 70% of water on their fur in one single shake off), the shake off is also often seen just after an event that a dog finds stressful. It’s their way of saying “Phew, I’m so glad that’s over, now I can put it behind me and move on”. It helps the brain to calm down, reset and is actually a very positive way to cope with stress. Maybe people could learn this method from dogs and begin practicing shaking it all off and letting it go!
The shake off may also happen just after waking up as a way to get blood pumping and the brain stimulated, a way to clean grass, debris or bugs off their fur or may sometimes indicate pain or discomfort.
If you notice a shake off, look at what has just happened beforehand. This will provide a clear clue as to what it is that your dog is finding stressful. Appreciate those shakes for what they can communicate. Your dog will appreciate your understanding of their language.
