A dog who is offering the cues below (as demonstrated by our handsome dog in the photo) is telling you that he is focused on something.
Closed mouth
Focused stare
Body tense and appearing very stiff
Ears pricked forward
Possible wrinkles in “forehead” (I know Pugs and Boxers and Bullies always have wrinkles!)
Tail raised over level of back
Tense tail – if it wags, it…
