Which of the following is NOT a sign of a relaxed dog?

A relaxed dog typically exhibits signs such as a loose body posture, a comfortably wagging tail, and sitting on the ground in a relaxed manner. These behaviors indicate that the dog feels safe and at ease in its environment.

Bright and alert eyes, however, often suggest heightened awareness or alertness rather than relaxation. When a dog is truly relaxed, its eyes may appear softer and less focused, reflecting a state of calm rather than readiness to react to stimuli. Therefore, this response is consistent with identifying what does not indicate relaxation in a dog.
