| This expression shows aggression and submission at the same time. aggression is shown by the snarling. The lack of self-confidence - submission - is shown by the flattened ears, drawn back lips and small eyes. The dog will not bite if the opponent accepts its submission or lets it escape. This expression is often erroneously taken for fear-aggression, but aggression and fear never motivated an individual at the same time. The reason for this confusion is that the expressions used by dogs and humans to show submission are the same as to show fear, only with quantitative differences which become qualitative. An expression of less fear, is not fear but submission |
