WHY DOGS DO THE THINGS THEY DO?
• DOG TAIL CHASING : Its is a normal form of play for puppies. A puppy instinctively chases the tip of the tail, possibly because it resembles a moving prey. Adult dogs are more likely to chase their tails because of inadequate exercise or inadequate attention from their owners. They also may have fleas or some other medical problem.
• DOG EATING GRASS: Most dogs seem to enjoy the flavor of grass when they have digestive disorders. The grass causes vomiting, which can help make the dog feel better.
• DOG DIGGING HOLES: The ancestors of dogs often buried part of the food they caught on hurts to protect it from other animals. Dogs frequently bury bones or food or simply dig holes.
• DOG PANTING:This helps a dog stay cool. When saliva evaporates from the tongue and mouth, it has a cooling effect that helps reduce the dog’s body heat. Dog have sweat glands only in their feet and the glands have little effect on body temperature.
• CHEWING OF HOUSEHOLD OBJECTS: This may arise simply from boredom or separation anxiety.
• DOG HOWLING: It is natural for dogs to howl like their cousin, the wolf. In domestic circumstances howling is usually a sign of distress.
• DOG OVERSEXED BEHAVIOR: This is frequently an expression of frustrated dominance, often done by small dogs.
• DOG LICKING ANAL REGION: All dogs will lick and clean their anal region, but frequent licking is a sign that veterinary attention is needed.
• DOGS SCRATCHING: It is normal, but regular scratching demands attention. In nine out of ten cases it will be something as simple as fleas.
• DOG JUMPING UP: This is probably the comment objectionable behavior by dogs. it is far better prevented than cured. The owner should discourage the dog by saying ‘no’ and showing his displeasure.
