Puppy Questions & Answers

Why does my Dog yawn? Dogs yawn for the same reason we do: because they are tired, bored or just because they saw someone else do it. But dogs also yawn when they are nervous or feel like we are pressurizing them to much. If your dog starts yawning during his training you should probably be a little more understanding and not pressure him so much.

They feel protected and cared for when being licked, and when they lick their mother, it means that they are hungry. Some of these childhood gestures are never forgotten, that's why some adult dogs still lick their human family to show affection.

And there are other dogs that wake up their owners at the same time every day of the week (which can be extremely useful… except on weekends).
