Small dogs can feel threatened when you hug them. If you don&#8217;t recognize whether a dog is worried, you can get in their faces when they would rather be left alone. And sometimes you can get bit when we don&#8217;t know when to back off.<\/p>\n<p>Kids especially need to learn how to speak dog. Kids will beg and beg their parents to get a pet. But once home they treat their &#8220;new friend&#8221; like a human, with sometimes disastrous results.<\/p>\n<p>See <a href=\"http:\/\/www.about-small-dogs.com\/Calming-Your-Dog-the-Power-of-a-Good-Yawn.html\">Calming Your Dog &#8211; the Power of a Good Yawn<\/a> for more details on how to interact in this fascinating language.
