Whoa! I didn’t know that! I have really bad anxiety and she helps calm me down a bunch. When I got her the lady told me she picks up on other emotions easily. This makes a lot of sense now!
There’s a book called “on talking terms with dogs:calming signals “ by Turid Rugaas. That really explains the whole thing. It’s short and an easy read. I read it on kindle.
That’s actually a calming move. Either the dog is trying to calm down or calm you down.
