We have an eight year old GSD. He has been a joy since he came to live with us. I have had a few dogs in the past and this one is by far the best cared for and the longest tenured I have had. He was trained early, sit, stay, down, shake etc. I was lazy beyond those commands and we have a problem with 'come.' He has a definite personality and I watch his body language fairly closely. When he is resting, I have noticed that if I want to lie down with him and bond, if he is not interested, he will twitch his ears, letting me know he wants his space. There are certain areas where a scratch is welcome and at other times he is very standoffish. Anyhow, the ear twitching is what I am interested in. Anyone else have any experience?
 
Not ear twitching specifically but it does not surprise me. Dogs will communicate with you if you've learned how to understand them.
 
I've got a large 9 year old Doberman I raised from a pup. He doesn't do an ear twitch but rather is very vocal and will make noises and sighs to complain. He wears his heart on his sleeve so everyone in the room always knows exactly how he feels.
 
K9s all have their own distinct personalities which makes them all unique & interesting

the one thing they have in common? they never stop producing poop .............
 
My dogs ears are big and floppy, I'm not sure I've ever noticed them twitch at all!

Have you quit producing poop either literally of figuratively? Your attack on another poster using personal information, however gleaned, show a propensity for poop production!

True. One of my dogs snorts to communicate:

One or two snorts means, "I'm here. I just came into the room or area behind you and you didn't notice."

Three snorts means, "I'm settled in and content."

Four snorts means, "I'm disappointed or frustrated."

Five snorts mean, "I'm really comfortable and about to go to sleep."

You have to love dogs. They are so damned loyal and so damned honest.
