Shame, shame, shame! That was the theme of Tiger Woods' 14-minute press conference/mea culpa on Friday afternoon. While verbally, Woods' expressed how wrong, foolish and selfish he had been, Tiger's body language spoke to the immense shame and humiliation he felt while having to publicly admit his wrongdoing. According to body language experts we spoke with about the Friday fiasco, Tiger was absolutely truthful and repentant. What they said after the jump!
"Shame causes a person to feel inferior to, and 'smaller' than, others -- something Tiger probably hasn't experienced much in recent years. But you can see his unconscious attempt to appear 'smaller' by the very subdued posture, and lack of gesturing," explains body language expert Vincent Harris. "The fact that Tiger was displaying non-verbal signs of shame only tells us he is humiliated by the disapproval of others, but not that he felt guilt about his actions before others knew about his behavior."
As Woods approached the podium alone, the fear in his eyes was obvious.
He was incredibly tense and fearful when he first walked out. Usually, his body lang

Celebrities with Their Dogs, What does the body language say?
Celebrities with Their Dogs, What does the body language say?
Look at this link for my reads of celebrities wit their dogs. http://www.peoplepets.com/photos/celebrities/what-are-these-celebrities-saying-to-their-dogs/1
Wood has been reading the smiles and hand holds of celebrity couples for years, but she recently started seeing how her expertise works with humans and their dogs. She really loves Miley Cyrus's connection to her new pup Mate. "She's doing a cradle at the bottom and all the way across the body and up to the heart," Wood says. "She's not feeling the need to hold the dog tight for security ... She has joy with sharing her puppy."
KELLAN LUTZ, KEVIN & KOLAAccording to a recent survey by Pup-Peroni, 59 percent of dog owners said they have the same personalities as their pooches. Wood says that this certainly seems true for Kellan Lutz and his two rescues, Kevin and Kola. "If you look at the pet parent's energy, he's got that very confident powerful body language, and his dogs are matching and mirroring him with their tail position," she say
OPRAH, SUNNY & LAUREN"It looks like they all went to the same hairdresser!" Wood observes. It was a big day for the family — Oprah was introducing Sunny and Lauren to her audience! "I'm always looking to see if there's a preference for one or the other, but she's got the very same kind of hand hold and is pressing them to the same part of her body." The puppies, on the other hand? Wood says they were a bit sleepy!
DANIELLE JONAS & RILEY"This puppy really feels like Danielle is the mommy," Wood says of the way Riley is licking Danielle's face. "Her hand wrapped around the head, which is exactly what mommies do when they're nursing. She's very comfortable with that mommy position with her puppy."
AMANDA SEYFRIED & FINN"This is incredibly unique," she says. "You do not see this. Amanda has come down exactly on the level of her pet, with an extreme amount of effort to do that. She's in an unusual, almost yoga-like position in order to give a nurturing kiss to her dog — and her puppy loves it."
His dog has what are called 'airplane ears.' That's a very distinct posture, that's when they have conflicted emotional states," Wood says, but she also considers that Noah might have been thrown off by the paparazzi that day. "But the pet parent has that nice shift towards his dog. 'I'm here, everything's okay, I'm paying attention to you, we're connected.' He's there to protect his dog."
BRADLEY COOPER & CHARLOTTE "I love that he's come down on the level of his puppy," Wood says. Charlotte's head is down, but her legs are relaxed. "She's saying 'You're the king, you're my daddy.' He's so happy to see his puppy. 'It's about us. It's not about the photo.'"

How Can You Learn To Read Your Dog's Body Language? Meaning of Tail Wag.

What does a muzzel nuzzel or muzzel nudge by a dog mean?
What does a dog mean by a muzzle nuzzle? A nose nudge can mean “Notice Me", or "Can I have a treat.”
Origin of the dogs muzzle nudge – Puppies nudge their moms faces to get the food from her mouth.
I am like the more than a 1/3 of Pup-peroni surveyed pet parents who feel they have had an entire conversation without saying a word.
My dog Bo comes curls up on a pillow in my office all day. At 4:30 he comes and sits by my desk and looks up at me asking, "Can I have a snack before dinner Mom?" If I keep working till his dinner time at 5:00 he muzzle nudges my hands to say, “It’s dinner time now Mom.”
Your dog may nudge with his nose to be fed, to show affection to get attention.
I have other blogs on this topic as well as more other dog and people body language facts.
