Here is an illustrated guide to the common and more subtle signs of fear and stress in dogs.
Please note, it isn’t always the case that some of these actions in isolation means a dog is fearful or stressed; for example, a yawn may be just because they are tired, or licking their lips maybe because they’ve spotted something tasty, but it does give some useful advice of what to look out for especially if more than one of these behaviours is displayed.
