Why Do Dogs Turn Away from Cameras ?
The Root of the Behavior
Dogs rely on body language a lot more than we think. Dogs can’t communicate the way people do, so nearly all of their language information comes from nonverbal cues. As humans, we process a lot of this kind of information, but we may not consciously realize what body language we’re showing to others. And sometimes, what we perceive as affection can be interpreted a different way by our faithful companions. Staring at our dogs, for example, usually makes them uncomfortable. A dog doesn’t have to physically run away to be scared or nervous. Even benign actions, like yawning, licking their lips, and turning their head can be indicators they’re uncomfortable with what’s going on. A Norwegian dog expert, Turid Rugass, has described these signals as “calming signals.” They’re often used when dogs feel uneasy. If you’ve ever hugged your dog, or seen someone else do it, you may have noticed some of these signs as well. Most dogs don’t appreciate being hugged. It’s not only an invasion of their personal space, it’s also a display of dominance. Dogs put their paws on other dogs to show dominance. To a dog, you’re asserting your power over them. Most dogs put up with it, even if they are a bit uncomfortable. But to some, especially if there’s no trust between dog and person, they may feel threatened, fearful, or defensive. This may lead to aggressive responses. Keep that in mind the next time you try to lean in for a dog and owner selfie. When you’re trying to get a picture, you might be making your dog feel nervous. Staring at them while taking a photo is one way we might be putting them off about the experience. Cameras can seem strange and be intimidating to some dogs. Additionally, cameras make noises when zooming or when taking the picture. And they may make some sounds that are too high for us to be able to hear. But a dog’s hearing is much more acute than ours. And if you use the flash, your dog may very well just be scared of the camera itself.

Some dogs were born to be in the spotlight and really love being photographed. Other pups may be less willing to hold still and look at the camera. Paying attention to your dog’s body language will help you learn the difference: when it is okay to snap a picture and when they would rather be left alone.

Sweet little puppy plays with small ball
dogs also like to play with humans, and would prefer to play with a human than on their own when there is a toy around. The scientists distinguish between indirect play (when the human moves a toy for the dog – playing with a flirt pole would be an example) and direct play when the human and dog are directly playing together. Play with humans can be rewarding in itself and may also improve the human-canine bond.
However, there are also times when play with a human may not be a sign of good welfare: when dogs make a playful move as a way of avoiding something unpleasant from the human, or in cases where the play itself is stressful, as has been found for games of tug that are also full of commands and discipline rather than being spontaneous and affectionate.

Your Cat’s Sleeping Position Can Tell You What They’re Thinking
A cat that’s curled up with their tail in a graceful swoop around their body and their head tucked in toward their chest is doing their best to conserve body heat. They’re also protecting their vulnerable organs. Your cat’s wild cousins do it, and it’s a natural instinct even the most pampered house cat can’t suppress.
Your cat may not be worried about a rival animal sneaking up on them in their sleep, but they could be protecting their jellybean toes from prodding fingers. A curled up cat usually wants to be left alone.
