A calming signal when a dog licks its lips and yawns

When a dog licks its lips with its tongue extending and retracting, it is not because the dog is greedy. It is actually the dog's way of eliminating tension. Also, don’t think that your dog is sleepy when it yawns. It is most likely that it is yawning to relax itself. As long as we go to the animal hospital, you will notice that many animals there often lick their lips or yawn. Not only people, but dogs are also afraid of going to the hospital. It turns out that not only people, but also dogs are afraid of going to the hospital. Owners should also note that the behavior of a dog turning its head and licking its lips is a signal of discomfort. If someone ignores it and continues to provoke, as owners, we must respond quickly and pull the dog away. Prevent others from being bitten.

A calming signal for dogs to shift their gaze

Have you ever noticed that some dogs will shift their gaze when you are scolding or ordering them? This is not because the dog does not care about your performance, but it is a signal released when the dog feels stressed, nervous, and uneasy. The dog may not understand what the owner means, and can only infer from the owner's raised voice that the owner may be in a state of anger. At this time, the dog will be at a loss and try to escape the situation and comfort itself by diverting its attention.

The calming signal of a dog blinking its eyes

If you see the corners of the dog’s eyes pointing down, the eyes squinting into a half-moon shape, and the eye muscles are stretched, then this means that the dog is blinking. The dog is very relaxed now. It is telling you: "I am very relaxed, so don't be nervous." Like the kind eyes, the dog's blinking eyes also convey the meaning that it does not want to conflict with the other party, and it is also an action it takes to calm itself down. But this behavior is not only to relieve the dog's own tension, but also to calm down the dog owner.

A calming signal for a dog to turn around

When a dog sees that the other person is intending to attack, and if it does not want to fight, the dog will turn its back to the other person and turn towards the other person. Convey the meaning of "I don't want to conflict with you." Similarly, if we find that the dog wants to rush over or is angry, we can also use this language to communicate with it. Don't speak, turn around immediately, do not respond, and express that you "don't want to have a conflict."​
