Dogs yawn as a way to calm themselves when they are stressed. An agility dog (dog that does agility tricks) will often yawn just before he does his run as a way to "stretch", or loosen himself up before doing his run.
If you have a dog that yawns during obedience classes, it indicates a need for him to be there, and over time he will become less stressed and more relaxed and you will find him yawning less and less. Dogs and other mammals (and some non-mammals) yawn for the same reason that people do: it is a reflexive action due to a lack of oxygen in one's system (most people breathe more slowly when they are tired or bored, which causes a lack of oxygen, which then causes yawning).
No, dogs do yawn too. I hope some other animals also yawn.
Same thing as when you yawn..... When you get tired you get a shortness of breath causing you to yawn...you yawn to catch your breath when your tired...
Dogs may yawn in response to their owner's yawning as a form of social communication or empathy, rather than as a direct mimicry behavior. It can be a way for them to bond with their owner or show that they are tuned into their owner's emotions.
Honestly, I'm not sure but I think it's for the same reasons we do, I'm not sure, so don't blame me if I'm wrong...I hope I help :)Emrox123
Most mammals yawn, including humans, primates, dogs, and cats. Reptiles, fish, and insects do not exhibit yawning behavior.

While yawning can be a sign of tiredness in dogs, it can also signal stress, anxiety, or even be a form of communication. Dogs may yawn to calm themselves in stressful situations or to communicate to other dogs that they are not a threat. So, yawning in dogs can have various meanings beyond just tiredness.
Dogs and wolves may yawn as a way to communicate calming signals or to show stress or discomfort. Yawning can also indicate tiredness or drowsiness, similar to humans. In some cases, contagious yawning may also play a role in social bonding within groups.
It's not unusual for dogs to make noises when they yawn. The same thing happens to people also. It can be caused by the muscle contractions and air passing during the yawn.
the homophone for yawn is.............you! haha get it lol
Yes they do. Our pup yawns all the time. She must be tired from her day of laying around, eating, and chasing her tail.
