Do your dogs know what you are wearing??

[I_luv_rusty]

Rusty knows if we are putting on shoes where going out. But not really different clothing he knows were going to a certain place... because it not much different. But he knows if we are talking about going somewhere he crys and runs around. He also knows the color of my moms car, like when cars go by he does nothing but if she just drives by the see what he'll do he start crying (as if hes getting murdered)and wondering why she parking. He also knows that when my moms car pulls in that she going to come through near the laundry room and runs back there.

Oggy knows that as soon as I put on my shoes, I'm going out. A paw on my knee, and a pleading look in his eyes, is not always successful, in him coming with me.

My two Labs, Hokie and Sam, know that my keys means they may get to ride with me out to the end of our gravel road to get the newspapers or pick up the mail. They honestly can't contain themselves.

Oh yes, my dogs know.
I have a pair or old sneakers that I wear to do yard work and/or for hiking. The dogs go nuts when I put them on, they know that there is a 99.9999% chance that they are coming with me. (I think only 1-2 times have I worn them when I didn't bring them as we were doing something construction related).
I also have a pair of winter boots I wear only when I take the dogs out in the cold snow. They know that those boots are for them.
I think my body language must portray something to them as well. Mostly in spring, summer & fall, I wear just my every day clothes to go for walks or hikes and the dogs know if I am getting dressed to do an activity with them or without them.

Clothes, no, but shoes yes. They definitely pay attention to my shoes. Depending on what shoes I put on you can either see their tags wag or go down. When I put on my normal shoes for work, usually right before I head out the door, they look sad. Bella jumps up in the recliner and pouts. When I put my old yucky shoes on it means I am going out in the yard (I learned long ago to not wear good shoes in the yard for obvious reasons ) and will be playing with them. The tails wag and Bella goes ballistic! LOL!

Like Sue, the dogs just know if they get to go somewhere. Sometimes I'll just think of taking them somewhere, I'll go in my room to get dressed and theres 10 eyes staring at me when I come out! Also, its to the point now where I can't even LOOK at my rollerblades before Micki, Mini and Jack start dancing and woofing around me.

not so much with clothes... but when I spray my perfume Sierra starts howling at me because she knows I'm leaving the house.
When they see me putting the back seats of my blazer down then know they're going for a ride.

yup, when my parents put on their running shoes, he thinks it's time to go for a run (most of the time they just go to the YMCA though so then he gets sad.) When I get money out of my money jar Niño gets exited because he knows I'm either taking him to the vending machine at the park or I'm leaving for somewhere else and he has to be crated. He seems like a very optimistic dog. When I get my breeches and boot socks on he pouts because he knows I'm leaving for a few hours.
Layla would hide everytime my mom put on lipstick.

mine knows that when I put on shorts and a white t-shirt it is time to go for a walk, he goes nuts
