Since this stuff is in "tactics" - some doggie body language
- Body loose, face loose, tail wagging - he's relaxed, friendly
- Bounding, lunges with head down and haunches high, eyes bright, may whack ground with paws - let's play!
- Fur up - bad sign
- Body real stiff, and turns at a right angle to you to show you his profile and stares at you - he is flipping you the bird, and saying Molon Labe (that's not an attack, but a challenge)
- Tail down or ears flattened, he's afraid, even if barking
- Tail up, ears up, body stiff, eyes steely, moving forward aggressively, no barking - imminent attack (no need to bark when decision is made)
