    It's a knee-jerk reaction when thinking about a problem.,Most of them are cats, canines, and mammals.,The keen sensory organs of these animals are concentrated in the head.,And when you encounter danger, you are more agile to retract.,That's why it's like this.,Not necessarily by smell.。 If it is not harmful, the cat will use its tail to show trust, or if the kangaroo has a stronger tail, it will also use the tail to detect danger.

    In fact, not only dogs, but almost all canine animals will tilt their heads to kill. As for why canines almost always tilt their heads to kill, there are some different explanations, each with some truth. Some people believe that this is how canines adjust their outer auricles to allow their ears to receive sounds better.

    When the head is tilted, the two ears of the canine are asymmetrical, which makes it easier to locate the sound in the vertical direction.

    Canines are very precise at positioning sounds horizontally, they can know whether the sound is coming from the left or right, and at what distance. But their positioning in the vertical direction is not so strong. When the head is tilted, the sound from below will first reach the lower ear, and then to the upper ear, and the brain can calculate how far the sound is in the vertical direction.

    So if you tilt your head, the dog will be able to figure out the direction and distance of the sound in the vertical direction.

    Of course, by tilting the head, the eye can better distinguish the position of the sound source in the vertical direction. But in addition to the explanation of sound localization, it has also been suggested that the dog tilts its head to hear if there are any words in your words, such as sausage, walk, game, etc. There is some truth to this statement, because a brain area that controls the movement of the dog's ear muscles is called the suspicious nucleus, which is also responsible for the dog's facial expressions, head movements, and communication.

    In other words, the dog's crooked head killing may have something to do with communication.

    I think the reason why a dog tilts its head is that dogs are very good at reading words, even if they can't understand human language at all, but through your tone and body movements, every expression and look, it knows whether you are happy to praise it, or angry to reprimand it, or make any demands on it.

    First of all, the dog tilts his head probably because he can't hear what you're saying, just by tilting his head to determine the sound**, to determine who is talking nonsense, just like sometimes there is wind, you need to tilt your head to hear the sound clearly, secondly, the dog's tilting of the head is a curious reaction to new things, every time he comes into contact with something new, or listens to you say something he doesn't understand, he will tilt his head to trigger his brain to think, and then identify what you are talking nonsense there, children are the same, love to tilt their heads when thinking, Finally, I think I'll say, don't you really like his tilting of his head, haha!

    The dog tilts its head in order to better see your expression, or to distinguish the voice**, and it is not too clear, the dog is extremely good at interpreting the relationship between human language and body movements, expressions, and tone, that is, it will observe words and colors. Even if a dog doesn't understand human language at all, it can tell by your tone of voice, body movements, and every look in your eyes that you are happy to praise it, or angry at it, or ask of it. Therefore, when he listens to the owner's conversation with it, he will observe the owner's expression and movements at the same time, but due to the factors of the dog's head and facial structure, their vision is very different from that of humans, so tilting the head is just to be able to see more clearly.

    In fact, the dog tilted his head to listen carefully and understand it.

    If the dog usually shakes its head and shakes its ears at an inexplicable high frequency, then it is necessary to carefully observe to see if there is a problem with the dog's ear canal.

    It may be that his world is not the same as ours. It's that the way he sees things is different from the way we see things, because the dog is affected by a long nose, and he sees about 70% of the field of vision of us humans. Moreover, he has been at a lower angle than humans for a long time, and may have formed a habit of movement, tilting his head when looking at people, so that he can see a larger field of vision more clearly.

    To hear more clearly, it has to do with the construction of their ears. Although dogs can sense frequencies that humans can't hear, their ability to detect specific sounds** is not as good as that of humans. A dog's brain can calculate the slight difference in the amount of time it takes for two ears to hear a sound, so a simple head tilt can provide them with useful sensory information.

    Still others believe that when dogs tilt their heads, they are adjusting their pinna or outer ears to better determine the sound**.

    Because of the dog's field of vision, when the dog looks at someone talking, its mouth and nose will block the lower part of its face, and if it tilts its head to one side, then it can see more clearly. In order to better get emotional cues from the sound of our speech, dogs can also read our facial expressions. If we try to put our fist in front of our nose, then we can get a better sense of the dog's vision.

    No, the dog's IQ and EQ have not yet reached the point where they are so anxious that they shake their heads when they encounter difficulties......

    Usually it will have a noticeable reaction when it hears low-frequency vibrations and high-frequency vibrations, such as when whistling at it, it will focus on the sound**, and the head changes position to let the ears adjust the direction to track the sound**......Because the range of audio that a dog can hear is much wider than that of a human, the audio of the whistle is higher than what it usually hears, and it is not heard often, which will make it curious. This is the use of dog nitrate for dog training.
