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. A long stretch is often understood as a request to play, but should also be considered as a calming signal. Stop or slow down: If a dog feels stressed, he often shows other signals as well.
