Dog Behavior

When a dog licks the snow repeatedly, it could be due to natural curiosity, trying to quench thirst, or simply enjoying the sensation of cold and wet snow on their tongue. It's normal behavior for dogs to explore their environment through their sense of taste.

It is most likely the taste of salt left by the person laying on the whatever .... as you know dogs have a keen sense of smell, they also have a keen sense of taste ..... it is also probably just a taste the dog really enjoys ......

Dog tails are an extension of their spine and are used for communication and balance. Different breeds have different tail lengths and shapes, and dogs will wag their tails to express emotions such as happiness, excitement, or anxiety. Some dogs are born without tails, while others have their tails docked for various reasons.

Dogs and cats are different species, and thus cannot produce offspring. Because they are different species, their behaviors when they are ready to breed are different and more than likely would not be recognized by the other. If your dog is mounting (humping) your cat, it is more than like a display of dominance rather than anything sexual. Mounting is one of the many traits that domesticated dogs have retained from their wild fore-bearers and is a way that wolves especially, show dominance in the pack.

they are basically wolves so of course they had to be able to run fast to catch their prey, but some were bred FOR speed so they developed differen't noses and longer legs as well as other traits that greatly increase the speed.

Sniffling is a common response to nasal irritation or congestion, often due to allergies or a cold. It is the body's way of trying to clear the nasal passages by expelling mucus. Using tissues, staying hydrated, and using over-the-counter remedies can help alleviate sniffling.

Dogs usually lick other dogs lips because its a way that the dog is nurturing the other one. It is just something they do to mother eachother. My dogs do it ALL the time and ii think its really cute and sweet to watch.
and from when dogs were wolfs, the younger lickd ther parents mouths for food. Answer: Dogs lick each others mouths as a sign of submission and respect. Their saying,'You're the boss.'

A heart-shaped box of chocolates or a handwritten love note would be a sweet sign of affection. You could also surprise your loved one with their favorite candy or treat to show your thoughtfulness and care.

dapper means those who are well and neat dressed , spruce, up to date , and dress according to the occation

Dogs may lick the floor due to a variety of reasons, such as seeking food or water remnants, exploring new scents or tastes, or expressing boredom or anxiety. It can also be a sign of a nutritional deficiency or a medical issue, so it's best to monitor your dog's behavior and consult with a veterinarian if the licking is excessive or concerning.

Rabies is definitely a possibility despite the low percentage of dogs that actually get the disease due to vaccinations. It overall means that the dog is extremely sick and should seek veterinary assistance immediately. A stroke is another possibility if the head can only be picked up to a certain point. Hope this helps!

Yes, it is normal for a ten-month-old miniature eskimo puppy to sleep a lot. Puppies, like babies, need plenty of rest to support their growth and development. As long as your puppy is eating, active when awake, and otherwise healthy, their sleeping habits are likely just a normal part of their growth cycle.

actually yes, i have seen many girl dogs hump other girl/guy dogs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Absolutely. Any dog, young, old, male or female can hump. It is a sign of dominance in many instances.

Sorry, no such list exists. Most experts in dog behavior and psychology agree that specific dog breeds aren't naturally aggressive - individual animals are made aggressive by bad breeding, socialization and handling.

That is only partially true because different breeds have different personalities for example the terrier family allthough master dominated is agresive and instinctivly chase smaller animals because that what they was bread for. im not saying that there is primary aggressive breed but incertain situations different breeds will react in different ways regardless of there breed.

most dog that have the bad reputations i.e pit bull, staffishire bull terrier etc have the most potential to be dangerouse but are the easyer trained dogs were as at the moment sausage dogs hold the records for most bites, poodles and dalmations also snap alot. I would say that the Yorkshire terrior is another one of the most likely breeds to be agresive (little man syndrome lol). Btw its not true that dogs aren,t natyrally aggressive that's wishfull thinking they share 99.9% of their DNA with wolves they also share the same instincts and behaviour. So they arent made agressiv but if their behaviour/instincts arent corected there primative side may show.

No, humans do not have tails. During embryologic development the embryo develops a tail, but it regresses prior to the fetal stage of development. However, humans have the last little vestige of the first bone of a tail. This is the coccyx bone and it is fused to the last sacral vertebra in the fused pelvic girdle.

No, using vinegar on a laminate floor will not stop a dog from urinating on it. It's important to address the underlying reason why the dog is urinating inside, such as marking territory, anxiety, or a medical issue, to effectively address the behavior. Regular cleaning with an enzymatic cleaner designed to eliminate pet odors can help discourage repeat accidents.

Schnoodles are a crossbreed between a Schnauzer and a Poodle. They are typically intelligent, affectionate, and hypoallergenic dogs that make great family pets. Schnoodles come in a variety of sizes and colors, depending on the specific traits inherited from their parent breeds.

the size of a persons bummy varies. you can minimise your bum size through dieting and excersize.

Dogs may scratch at the bedding as an instinctual behavior to create a bed or nest-like area before lying down. This behavior can also help them to mark their territory with their scent or to adjust the bedding to make it more comfortable.

I've never heard that it's bad for a dog to eat while lying down - they do it all the time in the wild and dogs regularly chew on bones and toys while lying down.

Sometimes, a very large dog will have trouble reaching a bowl on the floor and raising the bowl a bit higher will make it easier on their joints and help them swallow. Elderly dogs may have the same problem.

It may be more important that they don't eat too fast, or drink a lot of water after eating a large quantity of dry food.

This seems a very odd problem, if your dog is having a problem lying down and eating, give your vet a call.

Using an elevated dog feeder will remedy the problem: If a dog lies down to eat it is because its dog bowl is too low. Many larger dogs tend to behave like this. It is not healthy for a dog to have to bend down to reach its food: They might develop neck and muscle pain.Oh my! We love the Whiner & Diner dog feeder. Our poor rescue Husky had been laying down on the floor to eat because his bowls were not the right height. Your beautiful stand has solved this AND looks amazing.Thank you so very much!

For now you will have to restrain your dog, but it's highly advised that you work with your dog with a professional trainer. Your dog has bad habits. The own of the dog is suppose to be the 'leader' and the dog obeys when given commands. Please seek professional help soon before the dog harms someone and is put down.
