They're not really yawning, it just looks the same. My dogs are basenjis, so they don't bark at all. They "yodel" only infrequently. The yawning sound is their usual means of getting our attention. They can make the sound louder or quieter - it can be positively emphatic, but is usually no louder than a normal speaking voice.
