Yawning The Science of Yawns, Dogs and Empathy | Watch the video - Yahoo! News Interesting....I'm gonna go home and try with Mocha to see if this works. |
I saw that on the news and tried it on Tibbe but he doesn't yawn when I do! |
Yorkie Trainers Observation # 11 : Often when dogs yawn it often means, I am uncomfortable, I need a break, I feel nervous about this. |
I don't think have ever seen Gracie yawn. I just tried yawning while she watched but she was not impressed. Of course she had her mouth full of a toy that she was about to shake up so I don't think she is interested in being sympathetic to my yawn.:confused: |
yes...its funny you posted this because I have been noticing that when I yawn Emy yawns also...and I was thinking about it...she usually does it when she's sleeping on my stomach on the couch in the morning, I will yawn and she will yawn...happens every time....LOL... |
I did it to Rosencrantz, my cat. . . . . He looked at me like I was nuts lol |
Nope, didn't work with Mocha. Just just tries to smell my mouth. Made me triple check my breath to make sure I don't have bad breath. I just had dinner so he probably smelled the food. |
Didn't work with Zeus...but there are also people outside so he was probably distracted. 69% of the time it works though...? I read a study once that yawning is mostly symbolic, and that it was to signify to the pack that it was time to slow down and camp for the night. Make sense with dogs...even cats. But my beardie yawns and she's definitely not a pack critter :) |
My mom heard this on the radio and told me about it, we tried it on Joel but he didn't yawn. lol |
Interesting article. I've read before that yawning for people is caused by the body showing a slowing of oxygen intake and its how the body adjusts, I've also read in big cats (tigers etc) it's a sign of mild aggression. I tried once out if curiosity to stick my tongue out whole yawning like my dog do...nope I couldn't. |
