How your dog tells you what they want
I think we are all familiar with many of these gestures but it was interesting to read about and see what gestures we might be missing. Lark is big on the direct stare (Mom, did you see what time it is?), paw rest (more scratching, please) and chomp (come on, let's go!). Chase, as big as he was, was very skilled at the jump- standing right in front of us, levitating himself off the ground and landing in the same spot, no obvious wind up, just up and down. It's also interesting to see how some of our dogs have used some gestures but not others and every dog has had their own specific set. What are some of your dog's best or most frequently used gestures?
Here's one article and an article it references.

This was Chase levitating near the place where leashes and treats were kept.

When Teddy performs his tricks (sit) and doesn’t get his treat, he starts sliding backwards on his butt
