The most important dog appeasement signals that every owner should know. Yawning: Dogs don't just yawn when they're tired.
In stressful situations, yawning is supposed to calm the other person. Tail wagging: Even though wagging the tail is often a sign of joy, in certain situations it can also be a reassurance signal. Urination: Urination is intended to prove that a dog is relaxed and not looking for trouble. Long stretch: A long stretch is often understood as a request to play, but should also be considered as a calming signal.
