1、Soothing emotions: licking nose

Dogs will lick their noses in order to divert their tension when they are suddenly faced with a high level of stress.

Also this behavior is used in dealing with the other person. Such behavior serves to relieve the other person’s anger and tension.

　　When you see your dog licking its nose, then you can help soothe its tension by petting it.

　2、Relieve the tension: yawn

For example, when you are educating your dog, your words may be a little longer because of your anger when the dog, who does not look sleepy at all, suddenly yawned frequently. This is the dog is diverting his nervous emotions. It sniffed out the smell of gunpowder, so it wanted to yawn to tell the master “forget it, forget it, take a break”.

Perhaps when you are angry, you will constantly educate your dog. This is a time when your dog is bound to be nervous and even scared. In order to maintain a good intimate relationship between the two, you need to reign in your dog when you see him yawning.

　3、Quiet observation: sit down

The dog sits there obediently, on the one hand to quiet himself and watch his opponent carefully, and on the other hand also contains the meaning of “I have no hostility at all, please be quiet” to his already excited opponent.

　　When your dog sits alone and looks around, please try not to bother him.

                                 

　　4、Show obedience: down

Lower your posture to show obedience to a dog of higher status than yourself, to express “I won’t disobey you”. When afraid and scared, lower your body or even down to show obedience.

　　When the dog gets down in front of you, then it proves that the dog acknowledges your master status. In the future, you will be able to train your dog with half the effort.

　5、Avoidance of uneasiness: turn your back on the face

Have you ever had the experience of your dog shifting his body and turning his back on you when you are angry with him and forcibly holding him? This is a behavior to relieve tension and divert each other’s emotions.

The fact that his back is turned to you means that he is starting to fear you. At this point you need to calm down and not allow your dog to develop further negative emotions that will eventually lead to defiance.
