Lip licking is a calming signal and often given when the dog is stressed. Dogs often look away to avoid conflict. If a dog is sniffing the ground instead of looking at you, it is often a gesture on their part to calm you down- not to avoid your authority. In fact, the more you try to make a dog look at you in that situation, the more they tend to sniff. There are many modern books and videos on canine signals from Brenda Aloff to Sarah Kalnajs if anyone is interested.
