Which term describes how dogs communicate emotions through posture and movement such as ear position, tail, and body stance?

• A. Body Language
• B. Pheromones
• C. Vocalization
• D. Diet

Answer: (A)

Nonverbal signals through posture and movement describe how dogs show their emotions. Ear position, tail height and movement, body stance, and overall tension convey whether a dog is afraid, relaxed, confident, or angry. This form of communication is called body language, and it’s the visible, movement-based way dogs express their emotional state. Pheromones are chemical signals, not posture. Vocalization refers to sounds, not posture. Diet is unrelated to these signals.
