Lots of dog owners are bad at reading their dog's body language.
For example, if your dog licks their lips, they're usually trying to calm down the situation (e.g. telling you to stop annoying them), but lots of people don't know this.
There are other calming signals, such as the dog closing and opening their eyes (slower than blinking). You can use this on your dog and they might understand it :)
