If a dog turns
its back or sideways to its mate, it calms down quickly.
For example, when dogs play and get overexcited, in the middle
of the game one of the dogs turns its back to the others asking
to calm down.
Watch Your Dog's Body Language
May be you happened to see your dog showing this sign when it was threatened by another dog by barking, coming up too quickly or straight, etc, or when you talked to it in a high voice or came up in low spirits. When young puppies irritate adults, the adult dogs turn their back to the young to calm them down. If you are pulling on a lead, your dog will turn its back to you, though making the pulling even stronger.
This calming sign
is effectively used at such situations, as when your dog is
worried, nervous, aggressive to you or when it is jumping
at you. Very often it is enough just to turn your back to a dog
to make it calm down.
Your Staffie, Amstaff of Pitbull may turn back in the cases, when it needs to avoid danger.
If you want to
calm down your dog, turn your back to it and a dog will
surely understand you, if you make it calm and relaxed and
regularly use this sign.
We wish you
understanding with your dog! Next
