How to read your dog’s calming signals

Yawns, head turns, and sniffing: they tell you how they feel.

  1. 1

    Observe without stepping in. For 2 minutes, just watch. Note what they do when there’s noise or visitors.

  2. 2

    Name the signal. Yawning, licking the muzzle, sniffing the ground… they’re requests for space.

  3. 3

    Adjust your energy. Speak softer, step back, or pause the game. Reinforce calm.
