Weird Things Dogs Do , and Why They Do Them.
We may think we understand what
every raised ear or tail wag means,
but the behavior of a canine
often has us scratching our heads.
Dogs certainly do
strange things,
but they have
their reasons.
Butt Sniffing.
It may come off as a little awkward
or embarrassing, but to dogs,
it's a courteous way to say "hello.".
Dogs have over 150 million olfactory receptors in their nose.
This supercharged ability to smell
allows dogs to gather useful
information from newfound friends.
Hanging Out of
Moving Cars.
Canines experience sensory overload while traveling in a car. They often seem happy to have their face pummeled by wind.
Even having the windows
down only a few inches
seems to provide
enrichment and
stimulation that dogs
will seek out. , Natalie Zielinski, director of behavior
at Wisconsin Humane Society, via Best Life.
Staring at You
as They Poop.
So your dog is staring directly into
your eyes as they poop. Maybe
they want some privacy?.
Yeah, probably not.
Experts say that dogs who stare as they poop
may simply be hoping for a reward for relieving themselves outdoors, as opposed to inside.

Zooming Around
at Hyper-Speed.
FRAPS (frenetic random activity periods)
are best known as "the zoomies.".
These frenetic bursts help your
puppy to release pent-up energy.
Wooof!
