Simply put, dogs yawn when they are stressed. According to Turid Rugaas, Norwegian behaviorist and author of On Talking Terms With Dogs: Calming Signals, yawning is one of many signals dogs use to calm themselves when they are stressed or uneasy.

Read More »Yawning is perfectly normal in dogs. In fact, it is normal behavior in most vertebrates, including primates, horses, penguins, fish, cats, and even snakes, among many others. You’ve no doubt seen your dog settle in for a nap with a big, satisfying yawn just before they rest their head and drift off to sleep. You’ve probably done it yourself, too, because you were tired or bored.

Read More »They found that when the dogs’ owners were present, there were fewer vocalizations, a lower body temperature, and a higher rate of yawning. Researchers felt that yawning might have been a social signal between a dog and their owner during the exam. They concluded that, when practical, owners should be encouraged to remain with their dog during routine vet exams. Similar results were seen in previous studies. In one study, dogs yawned more frequently when encountering familiar dogs as compared to unfamiliar dogs. In another study, shelter dogs that were petted by a handler as they were removed from their cages yawned more, sought more contact with the person, and had more relaxed postures than dogs that received no attention. Yawns can also be contagious, and this is true for dogs, primates, and horses. According to Nick Dodman, BVMS, Dipl. ACVB and Professor Emeritus at Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine, yawning in dogs may well prove that they can experience empathy. In a recent study that described the contagious effect of humans yawning, they found that dogs yawn more frequently when watching their owner yawn compared to watching an unfamiliar person yawn. This indicates dogs’ emotional closeness with their owners. This implies that dogs are self-aware and also aware of the feelings of others.

Create a safe space for your dog. Give them a quiet room with background noise and special puzzles/treats/toys. Learn your dog’s signs of fear, anxiety, and stress and help your dog feel safe (move your dog farther away from the scary stimulus; ask the approaching stranger to stop their approach; take your dog to a quiet location with fewer scary stimuli). If fear and stress are part of your dog’s everyday life, help them gradually feel less fearful of their particular triggers through science-based behavior modification. This involves creating positive associations, teaching and rewarding new behaviors, in some cases, utilizing anxiety management to help your dog feel better and be able to learn. A veterinary behaviorist or a trainer can help you with this. Theories on the function of yawning abound and date back to 400 BC, but one thing is clear—yawning is a nonverbal signal that may have multiple functions in many different species, including dogs. If you are seeing your dog yawning a lot, look at the whole picture, including the rest of your dog’s body language, and look at the context to figure out a way to help your dog feel safer.
