When your dog yawns

Dogs don't just yawn when they're tired. Yawning can also be a sign of stress or fear. If your dog is yawning a lot around someone unfamiliar, that's a sign that she's not quite ready to meet that person.
Relaxed yawning.

To make things more confusing, dogs can yawn when they're comfortable with you too. In this case, they will often yawn when you do out of empathy. So if you're yawning and your dog starts yawning too, that's not a bad thing at all.

When your dog crushes on something in his back
Pinterest
Sleeping with an exposed belly helps a dog cool off. Since the fur is thinner around the belly and the paws hold the sweat glands, exposing these areas is a great way to beat the heat. It’s also a position that indicates a dog is very comfortable, leaving his most sensitive areas vulnerable and making it hard to get on his feet quickly.
Sprawled Out On The Tummy
Pinterest
It allows dogS to pop up and be on his feet right away. You often see this position with puppies who need to nap frequently, but also want to be ready to jump up and play at a moment’s notice. Dogs that sleep in this position don’t want to miss a chance to be in the action, even while they’re napping. It’s the position of choice for high-energy pups or pups who get sleepy during play and just want to plop down where they’re standing.
