Signs of stress.... (1)

There are a variety of stress signs in dogs.
I'll try to introduce as much as I can but split this chapter into pieces that my followers are not overwhelmed by the information they get.

(1) scratching and dandruffs
When dogs are stressed their skin gets dry and intchy and they have the need to scratch a lot. Sometimes you can see dandruffs as indicators for dry skin and stress. It's almost the same in humans we also start scratching when we are working hard on some thing.
Rolling on the ground can be a sign of pleasure but it's often caused by stress as well.

(2) Yawning
Sometimes dogs yaw when they are tired but most of the time they do it caused by stress.

(3) biting the leash
Must dog owners shout at their dog's when they are doing so or even worse hitting them with the loose end of the leash. But it's simply a sign of stress. Tossing some treats on the ground your dog has to search for can be an easy solution for this "problem".
