Many of these signals are also behaviors that dogs do in other contexts. For example, a dog will also yawn when they are sleepy or lick their lips after a meal. So if your dog is yawning in an unsual context which seems somewhat out of place then it is likely a calming or stress signal especially if they are responding to social cues in their environment (other dogs or people interacting with them).

What a great post (and pictures)!

Sneezing and yawning in particular are two behaviors that not a whole lot of people outside of the "dog world" seem to know the particulars of. My Doberman, Elka, sneezes a lot when excited, enough that after some practice she will also sneeze on cue around 75% of the time.

Also, your dogs are beautiful.
