Yawning

insider

People and dogs yawn in the same manner, but may have different reasons for doing so. For dogs, a yawn can control their enthusiasm in anticipation of something, such as a walk, when they see you holding their leash, or it can be a sign of stress and a way to deal with nervousness. It is also often meant as a calming signal, particularly in the company of other dogs, and conveys the message that they are not a threat. When it comes to training, it can be a sign of confusion or a way to deal with frustration if he doesn’t know what to do, which can be a signal to the trainer for a break or a change in approach. Taking note of the situation helps, because if your dog is yawning while he is lying down on his bed, it may simply be because he’s tired.
