Doggy language includes a calming signal when a third dog tries to calm down the other two. Though, this signal may be applied to people as well. If the situation is too stressful and two dogs are standing too close to each other, the third dog stands between them, thus, physically separating them in the order to avoid a conflict.
May be you have noticed this signal as well. People often complain that
their dog is trying to separate them when they are dancing or sitting,
embracing, playing with a child etc. In fact, this way a dog is trying
to avoid a conflict, because for dogs too close distance means danger.
You can use this calming signal yourself to settle a conflict between
two dogs or between your dog and another person if the situation is
stressed and nervous. Just stand between them to calm down the dog(s).
