- The paper consists of 2 separate studies about specific signaling between humans and
domestic dogs.

physical contact) before engaging play. Then analyze the success of engaging play. (first
study).
- Researches then ask the humans to imitate some of the behaviors performed by most of
the dogs (bow and lunge). To see the success of engaging into play. (second study).
Introduction

before engaging play (known as play signals)
- They then identify some play signals in human play. (laughter and smiling).
- They authors explain that different behaviors in different races of dogs can have different
percentages of the success of engaging into play.
Methods (first study)
- Video taking was done in the volunteer’s house.
- Researches asked the participants to lay with their dog for 5 minutes without any other
