groveling
A dog that cowers is expressing their feelings very clearly. They frequently attempt to look smaller or less menacing by lowering themselves close to the ground, which is a way of conveying feelings of stress or fear. To add to their uneasiness, some dogs may retreat altogether.
It’s important to approach a dog that exhibits these characteristics cautiously and sensitively. Quick movements or putting the dog in a corner may make them more anxious, which may result in protective aggressiveness. To protect them and make sure they’re comfortable, it’s always better to give them room and approach softly.
