@@MrJimibarrett Zoomies are the best arent they? Melts me everytime too...he comes in from his walk and goes straight into zoomie mode then gets his pig pal toy.....then 15 mins later he snuggles down into his nest and rests his little paws. xxxx
When my dog sits in front of me with her back towards me she is often sitting right on my feet. I always think she is telling everyone this is my person. It makes me feel special.
goertz I do think this a very protective stance I have seen other dogs do this with their owners when greeting them, its so lovely. xx A true blessing indeed. xx
We dont need 15 minutes to learn this. Here you go: "When a dog stretches when they see you, it's usually a sign of affection and comfort. This is known as the "greeting stretch," and it's a way for your dog to say hello."
This is the just another pathetic 'For Millennial Female Dog Owners' Video. 🙄🥴 Yet another Common Sense video for a group of Dog Owners who SHOULDN'T BE.
@@tubezzztube I fail too see what was so pathetic about an informative video that could be beneficial for all people to watch. Plenty of people don't have dogs but still are interested in their behaviors. While some explanations in this video may have been common sense, not everything was. I currently have a dog and have had or been around dogs my entire life. My very first family pet when I was a child, a Doberman Pinscher named Misty, was born only a few months before I was so we literally grew up together. I've had dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, chicken and other pets through out my life so I know a fair bit about caring for animals and still found the video interesting. I mostly just enjoyed seeing the different dogs in the video though. There's nothing wrong with people educating themselves especially when they're likely to come in contact with dogs at some point even if they don't have one. While I am a female Xennial with a dog, I didn't seek out this video or info. It just auto played after another video. I am sure though that there are plenty of people who have watched it that are not female Millennials. I'm curious as to what you have against them or why you assume they shouldn't have dogs. I know plenty of Millennial females who have dogs, including myself, that are great with them. It's rather sad that you're just making assumptions about people who may just be just trying to learn more about their pet, something all pet owners should do. Knowing how to decipher your pets different behaviors is vital to caring for them properly.
Dogs rule! And I could never imagine my life without one, and all the ones I’ve lost each one took a chunk of me with me them and I will love and miss them until the day I die.
If you're dog stretches, he's either ok with you and just needs to stretch, or HE THINKS YOU ARE A CRAZY MONKEY, and is getting ready to decide whethet you need to be put down.. You should trust him with this decision; as he has ways of deciding WHETHER YOU ARE EVIL!
The real excitement of owning a dog comes when you actually learn to communicate with each other. Did you know that the dog is the only animal that points and responds to your pointing? Both you and the dog exchange this complex information system and it is one of the things that makes the relationship between dog and human unique.
I have been a professional dog trainer and behaviorist for 2 decades. I have seen many informative videos online about dogs and their behavior, but this one is by far the BEST. 100% SPOT ON with the reasons behind the behavior. Nice job!
@@blck. I'm a professional behaviorist and trainer, 2 decades. I know the video took a while to answer the question but that's what UA-cam content creators want - they need you to watch minutes. The more minutes you watch of their content the better so they put the clickbait question at the very end of their video so you watch the entire thing instead of getting the answer in the beginning and then clicking off. It's not nonsense and fluff though. It's actually genuinely honest information that people don't understand and it's a good way of explaining why dogs do what they do. I've been preaching and teaching this for 20 years, so to have a content creator finally acknowledge the genuine truth about why dogs do what they do, it's pretty awesome to see that
I spent 4 months in Mexico during college. I had a Bichon Frise at the time, who I absolutely adored. My favorite memory of her, Paddy, was when I returned from Mexico on Dec 23, 1996. I hid on the side of the van and watched her happily greet my parents. Then I walked behind her and whispered, "Paddy!" I swear she did a triple take! Once she fully understood I was back, she spent a half hour doing Bichon Blitzes (zoomies, but for Bichons, lol), barking, jumping up at me, and more Bichon Blitzes. I spent that time trying to pick her up, laughing and crying. Eventually, she did let me pick her up, and I gave her a million kisses. She spent the next 72 hours not letting me out of her sight, and if I moved an inch to get more comfortable or something, she was up on her feet ready to follow me. It must have been very confusing for her when I went back to school after the holidays. Luckily, my school was only an hour away, and I would go home just to see her quite a bit. She was a great dog. I miss her so much.
My wife will occasionally ask me if i wished our dogs could talk??? I always tell her.... "there you go again, trying to ruin a perfectly good relationship!!!"
😂that's pretty funny. I had a boxer that went completely deaf the last year of his life. I did sometimes wonder if he knew he was deaf, or if he thought I just quit talking to him. 🤷🏻♂️
Dogs are by far the greatest love that we will ever know in this lifetime, and the most precious gift that we will ever receive from God. They are our children and our responsibility to keep happy, healthy fulfilled, and safe.
When our late poodle got extremely excited, he would somehow grab his collar (which he was wearing) in his mouth and do a sort of prancing dance. It was so cute. RIP darling Oliver.
I most definitely have a Velcro dog. He is almost always with me. I'm retired so Papi has me at home all the time. He goes to bed with my wife when she goes to bed but sleeps on my pillow waiting for me to come to bed. He was 11 months old when we got him from the shelter, but he had been abused by, I believe three different families. He tore up a lot of bedding before we got him to calm down. He will be three this coming April and he has changed and calmed down so much.
orioexplorer How blessed you all are. Dog kids are happiest when they have and know their routine, me and dog dad are always there for our dog son too, hes a confident kid, even goes to bed on his own sometimes and even knows what time it is during the day ie breakfast din dins and tea time, he lets us know if we are a little late with it too bless his paws. Love to Papi! xxx
When my best friend died, recently, her dog was given to me to take care of. The dog is very affectionate and seems happy, but she often stares into a corner of my dining room as if she is looking at something. Whatever it is, she is 100% entralled with it. She does not respond to me calling her or break her gaze for about 2 minutes. Then she usually runs over to me and seems excited (not scared...just kinda happy) She's doing it right now actually!
Mine does too, I’ve watched her stare at nothing in my room and follow it with her eyes across my bedroom. I used to have a little dog that would wake up in the middle of the night and shoot out from under the covers growling and barking at the foot of my bed, that one freaked me out!
Nah, my dog stretches because he's been asleep all day while we are gone...in other words, sleeping on the job (security)...i tell him every time he's busted 😅. We all stretch when we wake up.
My rescue is a velcro dog lol...if I stay in one part of the house, she comes to find me...I love her and she loves me lol...I've had her for 10 years...and I love having her on our lives....she's such a joy...I couldn't understand why anyone would want to abuse pets 😢😢😢
I had an interview to care for Peruvian Paso show horses. When I entered their home, I immediately got down on the floor and started playing with their Blue Heeler and Austraian Shepard. The wife said she likes the dogs, they like you, you're hired! From then on when the blue heeler saw me, he would bow. One day I delivered their mail to them and as my boss (Max) and blue heeler (Mitch) came ou to get the mail, I said "Bow Max" (I meant Mitch) and my boss bowed. We couldn't stop laughing! They were awesome people, made you a part of their family. I would have loved to stay on there, but they are now in an even better place. RIP 😢
Unfortunately I had to give up my Yorkshire Terrier because pups are not allowed in the apt. My eldest daughter knows what this pup meant to me. To the point where I wasn’t going to move. Well she took in my best friend, Because of the thought of losing the pup I went into a deep depression. A week later she came over to visit and my wife told her “ Daddy is in a bad way because of Nikko.” My daughter came into my room and told me Daddy, Kevin and I ( My son in law) want to take Nikko with us. You can’t let go and I understand. Nikko is a frequent visitor to my wife and I and I am in heaven. I couldn’t imagine a life without this pup. Thank you Nicolette.
Geez, don't people realize that you are simply suggesting the most likely cause. It is not the "be all and end all" on the subject. I think you did an awesome job explaining the most likely reasons. Some people seem to get a chip on their shoulder because they disagree with the tiniest of details No wonder humans are so stressed if they get worked up over such simple things.
@@tradeladder146 hmm, I had to go back and read my words again. I didn't remember. You may be right. After reading my own words, it sounds like I may have a chip on my shoulder and am stressed. I'm a "protective" person and so i don't like it when folks "talk shit". So (and I'm not being a smart ass here--I'm asking honestly). So what words would you have chosen if you had wanted to comment on the situation? How does one get across to others a comment about someone who is being rude? Please enlighten me. I'm GenX and so maybe you are much younger? I say this because my younger friends often think differently than me.
I'm a boomer and this is the first time i own a puppy, i learned so much on this videos and helps me explain a lot what happened .thank you so much for this video, like and subscribed. 😊
I don't ever want my dog to stop jumping for joy when I open the door, especially after my cat ignored me for years when I came home like I was an annoying roommate he had to tolerate!
I love having doggos jump on me too xD I’m training mine to know a stop command so if they do it on others and it’s not wanted I can stop them, but they’ll never once here me say stop when they’re jumping on me haha
Cats aren't dogs, humans aren't cats or dogs. Why do people continue to act as if see animals can communicate & understand humans? Worst yet, they treat them like humans, when they're not humans...
My dog is a terrier mix, and she likes to chase her tail. It is hilarious to see her do that. She always stretches when she sees me. I love her dearly, and I know she loves me. We do play a lot.
I use some dog behaviors myself on dogs which is speaking their language back to them. I've actually play-bowed for the same reason they do it. While I train "off", "leave it", or "no" for certain behaviors like not letting go of something or regrabbing it after letting it go, in pure playing situations, a high-yelp stops the behavior that hurts me immediately cuz dogs know that means ouch in canine. Sometimes it takes a little bit to get excited dogs to pay attention to human language. At those times, a high-yelp sends the message right away.
curiousmouse I imagined you doing this out in public....imagine the reactions 🤣🤣Jokes aside- I have tried some dog behaviors too to communicate so I know where you are coming from. An interesting one I have found is just using facial expression with no voice or action. He responds really well, from a happy smile to a bare showing of teeth really gets him every time 😂😂 When we have been in cafes and hes has been loud and naughty I have had to use the "Evil mum stare "with gritted bare teeth and its worked a treat. Just hope he doesnt ptsd from it 🤣🤣 xxx
I did that the other day. I said to my dog, “miss, (caregivers name) is coming. No, (mimic barking). If you know (mimic barking) you get, (drop cookie) “. She did good. She barked, maybe one time. And she came right back to me, and sat like a good girl.
Thank you, I am going to try a small yelp for a minor issue I am having. Playbowing with dogs is so much fun! I use miming when grooming one of my dogs to show what I want to do next, especially around her head. I mime a dog ear using my hand on my head or hold the scissors next to different areas on my face. I will also cup my chin with my hand then offer her my hand for her to rest her chin.
I'm already known by friends and acquaintances as the crazy dog lady. I also study what works for individual dogs under my care. After researching general Dalmatian characteristics when my normal techniques weren't working on a 9-month-old Dal with not a lick of training when my friend adopted her, I tried time outs - I put her into the garage sternly stating, "Time Out", closed the door and then went around the yard squeaking her toys, pretend talking and laughing for several minutes. It took all but 2 times for her to figure it out and from there all I had to say is "Do you need a time out" and she would immediately stop her misbehaviors. Like most Dals, she couldn't stand not being part of whatever was going on without her. But this only worked at her or my house cuz she knew I'd never leave her alone away from those places. Clever girl.
Two schnoodles don't make a schnoodle. 🎶🎶They make a schnoodlette (female) or a schnoodlaire (male). And my schnoodle does the 2-way stretch almost every time she gets up from laying down. Scratches after a poop, too. And barks at the air. Great dog.
Anyone who missed that moment (above), the most hilarious moment, put your cursor on 12.35. You need to be quick, but it's so subtle, yet also side-splitting two seconds on the whole, excellent mini-doco! Most highly recommended! P.S. This is the most informative "general" pod cast on canines I have seen, and I've watched many! Well done 'Happy Dogs Place'!
i have 2 greyhounds who are amazing..so intelegent.and clever both rescue dogs..ex racers ,they have come on leaps and bounds in the outside world they never knew..they do the zoomies too...amazing dogs and so lovable and my male dog is so velcro...5 years caged and now free..he would follow me to the end of the world...
Friends that had this breed loved them (as myself) their babies didn’t require much walks?? I’m looking for a breed that doesn’t require as much walking
My first guide dog, after a day of classes in college, would get his leash in his mouth, with me still holding it, and dance around. Silly boy. My second guide dog would lick my feet every night before we went to sleep. It was our little routine. Sweet boy. My third guide dog took seven months to drop her favorite toy in my lap, but gave me her belly a day and a half after I got her. Sweet girl. She's fourteen next month, and I get to see her soon. I'm incredibly excited. We've been apart for the longest time since I got her. It's been a long nine months! I wonder what guide dog number four will be like.
Dogs are simply amazing and deserve love and attention, proper training, walks, playtime, grooming, and medical care. Some breeds require much more exercise than other breeds, so be sure to get a dog that will fit your lifestyle. I know someone that currently has 4 dogs she calls rescues.. she got them from the shelter. All 4 are small breed dogs and spend 10 hours daily or more alone while their owner works. None are potty trained and even when their owner is at home the dogs do their business in the house and this has been going on for a few years. They do have a large fenced yard to play in when their owner is at home but will still come back inside to do their business. This person constantly boasts on social media about having 4 rescues and posts pics of her dogs in outfits, etc. as if she is this great dog mom.. Those dogs got more attention and exercise at the shelter than they do now. If you own a dog and have to work, that is understandable, but if you have no one else at the house to let the dogs outside, and or to walk them, you should hire someone to do it... the dogs deserve it. In my opinion.
My "velcro dog" currently has his head resting on his favourite pillow, my foot. He is not anxious nor has he ever been neglected. I have bought him up since he was born. He is never further than a few feet away from me when I am at home, he sleeps st my bedroom door, he lies at the front door and waits for me to come home. He is a typical blue heeler cross, not anxious.
My dog does the downward dog stretch to show me she needs to go outside haha that was the main difference from your video. To show me she wants to play she does this hilarious spin thing and makes this howl sound it’s so funny. She also talks cause she’s a husky. Also every morning as soon as I stir she jumps on my chest and gives me a huge hug and says I love you in 3 distinct syllables it’s adorable. Jumps up and gives me hugs when I come home. Paws at her bowl when she’s hungry or paws at me like she tapping me saying “hey, hey, hey, hey - feed me”. She always cuddles in the curl of my legs cause I’m a side sleeper so we look like yin and yang. It’s adorable love her to death I’m sure she does other things too but those are the ones that came to mind
When I go to let Sammy in the house I bend down to unhook his leash and he always stretches down so I have to bend over even farther. He thinks I'm lazy. I'm retired and got a dog for exercise. But he takes his job too seriously. He is very athletic. I wanted a personal trainer. I got a Marine Corp Drill Instructor.
It sounds more like he has a negative association with this action. Perhaps it sounds bad (jingling, crunching), or pulls his fur, maybe he was trained with force (leash jerks, prong collar). Or it isn't a negative association and he is naturally following the downward movement of your hand. Whatever the reason, it will be easy to fix: pair removing the leash with giving a little treat. He is reaching up to you, plus gaining a positive association with removing the leash 😊
I am heartbroken to discover that since Covid, I rarely see other dog walkers, when I used to see lots. Walks are vital for dogs, and they are pretty good for humans!
@@rogerward801 The walk is pretty special. Just saying. Mine loves it when we do the woods, and I just turn him loose to chase and come back over and over, which he seems to be very proud of, proving his recall like that. But that walk seems to mean just as much. I don't know why. It's good for both the dog and the owner.
Something I heard recently about Chihuahua's. I was told that they are the dog with the best hearing, and as you mention here, all dogs hear much more than we do. This is one of the reasons the little tykes bark so often, seemingly at nothing. So, you want security, get a Doberman and a Chihuahua.
Frito Feet!❤ That smell comes from having a lot of grains in their diet, carbohydrates. When they eat more protein and veggie rich or grain free foods, that smell goes away. Grains can also be more difficult for them to digest. My dog has to have rice in his foods, though. We have Frito Feet here!❤
@@MamaPinks thank you for letting me know this valuable piece of information.Im going to incorporate more brown rice n veggies n stay away from the grain👍🐾🎯
Great video! Thank you! New Subbie here! We have 2 dogs we rescued from the shelter. We’ve had the a year and a half. The girl, Hippie, is half Holden Retriever and half Pitt. The boy, Smokey, is full Pitt! They are wonderful and we love them so much!! Animals are such blessings!!❤
My two shih tzu does zoomies, especially after I bathed them. There’s me thinking they loved it. Love the video, it certainly opened up my eyes to dogs behaviour 👍👍
In general a tired dog is a good dog. Tiredness can be achieved through exercise or training or hopefully both. Most if not all bad behaviors cease or greatly diminish with a tired dog that gets enough attention.
A long story about a dog stretching for anyone board. I use to have a neighbour who ran a pretty large junk yard. I ran my own body shop just up the road and over the years we traded work and did a lot for each other. If I needed a deck truck or wrecker he let me borrow his free of charge, some times I would do the odd run for him as well. One day I needed a truck to deliver a car I had finished as it wasn't registered, inspected or safetyed yet. He told me I could use ut but it had a large six cylinder diesel he had just swapped out of his pay loader on the deck that needed to be dropped off at another junk year first. No problem, it was about half an hour away so an hours round trip and I could make my own delivery. So when I got there it was after closing but I had been there many times and knew where they kept their loader to lift it off the truck and most of these places leave the keys in their machines for just such a reason. Now unlike my friends place this place had junkyard dogs some of which were tied and some not. He had all shepards which I love and find to be an amazing breed of dog very smart with good instincts. As I walked up to the shop where the loader sat parked I noticed some very large paw prints in the mud bigger than any shepard I had ever seen. Over on the earth hill used as a fence sat half a dozen shepherds watching me but it never phased me as I had never had any problem with them before. Little did I know they were just picking a seat for the main show. As I walked straight on towards the loader I looked back to my right away from the shepherds and saw a single sleeper taken off a highway tractor, I caught movement of what I knew right away was a Rottie who stirred and was watching me. I thought what a good calm pup and even spoke to him. He still didn't exit the sleeper until.......until I passed the halfway point and was in his zone where he felt comfortable catching me. He slowly stepped out of the sleeper stretching so as to not hurt any muscles in the calalminity to come. That made me stop. Then I noticed the chain the dog was secured to the ground with. It was transportation grade 3/8th link chain. The time you use for lifting thousands of pounds. I had used for tying down tractors at my previous job. I turned and started running back and the dog started running at me the same time. I didn't stop to look but that chain was roaring as it rubbed on the lip of the sleeper until it all came out and then was rubbing on the ground. I swear I felt it's hot breath on my back when the chain went taught. I was so angry by what happened, the Shepherds were yipping and moving around but never left the hill, they were not getting involved in this. I went back to the truck and grabbed a hold down chain with the big long axel hook and turned to deal with the Rottie but calmed down realizing he did his job and really could not be blamed. Personally I think having dogs like that around a business is just asking for a law suit but that's a personal opinion. To this day I don't trust Rotties who are not socialized regularly or any dog not use to being around other dogs, people and or animals. I have seen guard dog rotties mangle people up over innocent situations some will never be right again. Dogs are our best friends in the whole world of species out there. They thrive in healthy two way relationships with humans and we do as well. I can still say to this day I have not been bitten by a dog, even supposedly cross ones if you pay attention to what they are telling you and respect it.
Disabled and my pups make me move. Good thing and inside weather by 7 pm zoomies and wall bouncing. 12 lb and 18 lbs. they move furniture. My buddies and they know whos first for next walk. Disregard and they know and don't like. Love a pup!
It’s to stretch out real good so he can tear up every shirt I own when I get home. He is a proud dog mommy can’t cut his nails without a whole day of wasted fussing & fighting around without nothing getting done. Or that is their own excuse anyways .
Stretching for dogs is primarily about releasing energy or tension... not always negative energy or tension, but more wound up energy that the dog needs to get out. Dogs yawning does the same thing. It's body language too, telling other dogs their state.
I don't ignore my dogs, I will sit down and let them and give them all the attention they need, then I go about my chores. Eating dog poo, dirt, grassk can also be a nutritional deficiency, this is something my vet told me. I have been rescuing dogs for over 40 years and have a lot of research under my belt. I have worked with conventional and homeopathic vets. Don't let them lick your feet, if you have athlete's foot of discolored nails - you have a fungus and the dogs can get that, ask a vet.
One of the two cats I'm sitting always has a big stretch when he approaches me for a pat. It's like he knows what's coming - he always looks at my hands - and he wants to be feeling "just right" when he gets his scrombles on the head and neck. Yes, when a cat - or a dog for that matter - likes running your knuckles over their head etc. I call those scrombles :)
Some of these things apply to cats as well, I had wondered why my cat who wouldn't let anyone but me touch her, would come into the bathroom, but would turn away from me and sit at the door, I figured she was protecting me. That wasn't hard to figure out when I thought more about it, but initially I didn't get it.
You're sure about the ghost thing? There was this one time when I was walking my dog on our usual route we've done for years. We were walking by a utility post that's always been there when she stopped and started barking at it even though there was nothing there. Since she couldn't talk she couldn't tell me what her problem was. She never did that before and never has again since. So if it wasn't ghosts why was she barking at the post?
Dogs will react to small changes that we ignore. Maybe there was a cricket or cicada making noise that freaked her out. Or possibly she saw something which she thought was so important, a piece of trash for instance, that you would have completely ignored but she took to be a big deal.
Dogs do react to ghosts/spirits, but only of they feel it is a threat. The post most likely had a scent on it they disliked - like another dog they feel could be a threat to you.
I went through that with a dog in 82. We had a ghost in the apartment. My dog always let me know what room it was in and what part of the room. We had to move.
This also helps by holding their paws.. it helps to normalize holding so nails and touch is expected. We have had our dogs chill the moment we just hold their paws if we do this as they grow. If you get a dog older this takes time to learn
You mentioned in order to discourage dogs from jumping all over us when we get home just try to ignore them, and that's sad and can hurt them emotionally they are just trying to love you, and express their excitement, can you imagine if our family or friends try to ignore us because we are showing too much love and joy and excitement
Why does my dog rub her face on my comforter, fleece throw,and pillows? I used to think she had something in her eye but she does it every time she’s on my bed at night. I don’t remember other dogs doing this.
She knows she is yours and she knows those items are yours and she is marking them with scent her scent even though you probably can't smell her. Michael Timmons DMV Wyoming
My best guess is because they all have your scent on them, and your pup is trying to collect that scent. My dog does the same thing to my pillow, and I take it as a sign of love from him.
Dogs also eat poop (generally their own, but can be other animals' poo) in order to reset gut bacteria... or just because it tastes good the second time down. My one dog never eats his first poo of the day, or one sitting out for over an hour... but take him for a walk or to do park, and his (usually 3rd+) later poos are eagerly eating like candy before I can even get over to it (I do use a cane, so am not fast). They also like rabbit, squirrel and chicken poos I have found.
Im a plain out dog lover. I cant see myself with small dogs...but who knowsin the future. I do well with the big ones. I learn the language dogs give. Makes caring for them a breeze. I didnt watch the video...i hope it was good!
My 5 year old Doberman is definitely a Velcro dog. Got her when she was 2 & she quickly became one the first year I got her but at the same time she doesn't have separation anxiety.

Don’t you love it when they steal 15 mins of your time before coming to the point? Thanks!
Thank you. My dog is 16 years old and I'm pretty sure his stretches are because he needs to.

Dogs rule! And I could never imagine my life without one, and all the ones I’ve lost each one took a chunk of me with me them and I will love and miss them until the day I die.
💅
Same here. They bring one so much joy, but it hurts so much when it's their time to go.
If you're dog stretches, he's either ok with you and just needs to stretch, or HE THINKS YOU ARE A CRAZY MONKEY, and is getting ready to decide whethet you need to be put down..
You should trust him with this decision; as he has ways of deciding WHETHER YOU ARE EVIL!
PS: your CAT can tell TOO! (,if you are evil)
You left out mention of their feet secrete their scent. ,(& btw/ they ALSO bury EVIDENCE!)
Every morning I wake up. I say good morning to Marley. She LOVES it.
Then I stretch and she does.
If I yawn she does too.
I love it lol.
My Tucker also gets really excited when I say "good morning!" I think he feeds off my energy and knows I'm happy to see him.
I love my dog so much. He's been the best gift in my life. I would do anything for him ❤
The real excitement of owning a dog comes when you actually learn to communicate with each other.
Did you know that the dog is the only animal that points and responds to your pointing? Both you and the dog exchange this complex information system and it is one of the things that makes the relationship between dog and human unique.
I have been a professional dog trainer and behaviorist for 2 decades. I have seen many informative videos online about dogs and their behavior, but this one is by far the BEST. 100% SPOT ON with the reasons behind the behavior. Nice job!
Chatgpt knows its stuff
Are you a bot?
This video is absolutely nonsense and 13 minutes of fluff before answering the only question people had when they clicked on the video.
@ me? Nope, I am a real person. Why is it nonsense and fluff?
@@blck. I'm a professional behaviorist and trainer, 2 decades.
I know the video took a while to answer the question but that's what UA-cam content creators want - they need you to watch minutes.
The more minutes you watch of their content the better so they put the clickbait question at the very end of their video so you watch the entire thing instead of getting the answer in the beginning and then clicking off.
It's not nonsense and fluff though. It's actually genuinely honest information that people don't understand and it's a good way of explaining why dogs do what they do.
I've been preaching and teaching this for 20 years, so to have a content creator finally acknowledge the genuine truth about why dogs do what they do, it's pretty awesome to see that
@ no, i am just a professional canine behaviorist and trainer (with a master’s degree and 20 years in the business)
Its taken 3 years but my jack russell mix finally fell asleep BELLY UP on my feet yesterday & it made me so happy i had to show my husbsnd. ❤
I spent 4 months in Mexico during college. I had a Bichon Frise at the time, who I absolutely adored. My favorite memory of her, Paddy, was when I returned from Mexico on Dec 23, 1996. I hid on the side of the van and watched her happily greet my parents. Then I walked behind her and whispered, "Paddy!" I swear she did a triple take! Once she fully understood I was back, she spent a half hour doing Bichon Blitzes (zoomies, but for Bichons, lol), barking, jumping up at me, and more Bichon Blitzes. I spent that time trying to pick her up, laughing and crying. Eventually, she did let me pick her up, and I gave her a million kisses. She spent the next 72 hours not letting me out of her sight, and if I moved an inch to get more comfortable or something, she was up on her feet ready to follow me. It must have been very confusing for her when I went back to school after the holidays. Luckily, my school was only an hour away, and I would go home just to see her quite a bit. She was a great dog. I miss her so much.
My wife will occasionally ask me if i wished our dogs could talk??? I always tell her.... "there you go again, trying to ruin a perfectly good relationship!!!"
😂that's pretty funny. I had a boxer that went completely deaf the last year of his life. I did sometimes wonder if he knew he was deaf, or if he thought I just quit talking to him. 🤷🏻♂️
😂
Dogs are by far the greatest love that we will ever know in this lifetime, and the most precious gift that we will ever receive from God. They are our children and our responsibility to keep happy, healthy fulfilled, and safe.
Im so glad to see others feel the same as I do in this matter.
When our late poodle got extremely excited, he would somehow grab his collar (which he was wearing) in his mouth and do a sort of prancing dance. It was so cute. RIP darling Oliver.
We lost our toy poodle last year at 15. Poodles are special. ❤️
They certainly are. ❤@@eileenmcchrystal8471
My terrier mutt is named Oliver 😢
I'm so sorry 😢
I most definitely have a Velcro dog. He is almost always with me. I'm retired so Papi has me at home all the time. He goes to bed with my wife when she goes to bed but sleeps on my pillow waiting for me to come to bed. He was 11 months old when we got him from the shelter, but he had been abused by, I believe three different families. He tore up a lot of bedding before we got him to calm down. He will be three this coming April and he has changed and calmed down so much.
❤
I AM HAPPY THAT HE NOW HAS YOU!
Thank you for caring so much for him you are definitely the best daddy he got. Mine is a velcro dog too he is 12 already and i am like his oxygen 😂
What breed is he?
orioexplorer How blessed you all are. Dog kids are happiest when they have and know their routine, me and dog dad are always there for our dog son too, hes a confident kid, even goes to bed on his own sometimes and even knows what time it is during the day ie breakfast din dins and tea time, he lets us know if we are a little late with it too bless his paws. Love to Papi! xxx
Extremely helpful! I've been with dogs, mostly strays I've taken in for over 20 years - I'm now 75!
Dogs can sense spirits.
When my best friend died, recently, her dog was given to me to take care of. The dog is very affectionate and seems happy, but she often stares into a corner of my dining room as if she is looking at something. Whatever it is, she is 100% entralled with it. She does not respond to me calling her or break her gaze for about 2 minutes. Then she usually runs over to me and seems excited (not scared...just kinda happy) She's doing it right now actually!
My dog knows I keep my vodka in the kitchen cupboard, and whisky in garage ,
Yes, mine senses them.
And cats 😂
Mine does too, I’ve watched her stare at nothing in my room and follow it with her eyes across my bedroom. I used to have a little dog that would wake up in the middle of the night and shoot out from under the covers growling and barking at the foot of my bed, that one freaked me out!
The cat looking at the dog scooting across the floor 😂😂😂
Cat is like, "WTF ??
Nah, my dog stretches because he's been asleep all day while we are gone...in other words, sleeping on the job (security)...i tell him every time he's busted 😅. We all stretch when we wake up.
😂😂😂
Just make his water bowl look like a shallow coffee cup. 😆 😊 🐕
@@SarafinaSummers 😂
This is so true. We try to humanize animals way too much. They are just stretching becuase they just got up lol 😂
It stretches hoping to stroll around outside with you ...
My rescue is a velcro dog lol...if I stay in one part of the house, she comes to find me...I love her and she loves me lol...I've had her for 10 years...and I love having her on our lives....she's such a joy...I couldn't understand why anyone would want to abuse pets 😢😢😢
I had an interview to care for Peruvian Paso show horses. When I entered their home, I immediately got down on the floor and started playing with their Blue Heeler and Austraian Shepard. The wife said she likes the dogs, they like you, you're hired! From then on when the blue heeler saw me, he would bow. One day I delivered their mail to them and as my boss (Max) and blue heeler (Mitch) came ou to get the mail, I said "Bow Max" (I meant Mitch) and my boss bowed. We couldn't stop laughing! They were awesome people, made you a part of their family. I would have loved to stay on there, but they are now in an even better place. RIP 😢
Unfortunately I had to give up my Yorkshire Terrier because pups are not allowed in the apt. My eldest daughter knows what this pup meant to me. To the point where I wasn’t going to move. Well she took in my best friend, Because of the thought of losing the pup I went into a deep depression. A week later she came over to visit and my wife told her “ Daddy is in a bad way because of Nikko.” My daughter came into my room and told me Daddy, Kevin and I ( My son in law) want to take Nikko with us. You can’t let go and I understand. Nikko is a frequent visitor to my wife and I and I am in heaven. I couldn’t imagine a life without this pup. Thank you Nicolette.
Geez, don't people realize that you are simply suggesting the most likely cause. It is not the "be all and end all" on the subject. I think you did an awesome job explaining the most likely reasons. Some people seem to get a chip on their shoulder because they disagree with the tiniest of details No wonder humans are so stressed if they get worked up over such simple things.
Some people seem to lack common sense and understanding. I tend to try and avoid those people as they’ll piss me off too much lol.
Including yourself it would seem. 😂
@@tradeladder146 hmm, I had to go back and read my words again. I didn't remember. You may be right. After reading my own words, it sounds like I may have a chip on my shoulder and am stressed. I'm a "protective" person and so i don't like it when folks "talk shit". So (and I'm not being a smart ass here--I'm asking honestly). So what words would you have chosen if you had wanted to comment on the situation? How does one get across to others a comment about someone who is being rude? Please enlighten me. I'm GenX and so maybe you are much younger? I say this because my younger friends often think differently than me.
Thank me later...Does Your Dog Stretch When They See You? @13:02

I'm a boomer and this is the first time i own a puppy, i learned so much on this videos and helps me explain a lot what happened .thank you so much for this video, like and subscribed. 😊
A couple of dogs under the blankets are great in the winter time when you don't have heating. It's as cozy as a fireplace.
Hence the phrase "It's a three dog night."
It's so cold I had all three dogs on the bed to keep warm. And where the band got its name.
My Murfy chases tail only when super excited and I love it
I don't ever want my dog to stop jumping for joy when I open the door, especially after my cat ignored me for years when I came home like I was an annoying roommate he had to tolerate!
So funny! 😂❤
Cant blame kitty
I love having doggos jump on me too xD I’m training mine to know a stop command so if they do it on others and it’s not wanted I can stop them, but they’ll never once here me say stop when they’re jumping on me haha
Cats aren't dogs, humans aren't cats or dogs. Why do people continue to act as if see animals can communicate & understand humans? Worst yet, they treat them like humans, when they're not humans...
#1 is smell mail is why dogs love go on walks to check out their smell daily mail. And if they are any strange animals around.
we call it reading the paper , when our dog is out to walk but gets busy reading all the news of the day😊
I call it “reading the doggy daily drama “… And my dog loves it. 😆
We call it "Pee Mail" 💌
My dog and cats have zoom time every evening together.
My 12 year old dog can still jump on sofas and zoom up the stairs. This makes me happy 🥲
Enjoy and cherish the time that you have with your furbaby.
They stretch for the same reason we do. It feels good.
My dog is a terrier mix, and she likes to chase her tail. It is hilarious to see her do that. She always stretches when she sees me. I love her dearly, and I know she loves me. We do play a lot.
I use some dog behaviors myself on dogs which is speaking their language back to them. I've actually play-bowed for the same reason they do it. While I train "off", "leave it", or "no" for certain behaviors like not letting go of something or regrabbing it after letting it go, in pure playing situations, a high-yelp stops the behavior that hurts me immediately cuz dogs know that means ouch in canine. Sometimes it takes a little bit to get excited dogs to pay attention to human language. At those times, a high-yelp sends the message right away.
curiousmouse I imagined you doing this out in public....imagine the reactions 🤣🤣Jokes aside- I have tried some dog behaviors too to communicate so I know where you are coming from. An interesting one I have found is just using facial expression with no voice or action. He responds really well, from a happy smile to a bare showing of teeth really gets him every time 😂😂 When we have been in cafes and hes has been loud and naughty I have had to use the "Evil mum stare "with gritted bare teeth and its worked a treat. Just hope he doesnt ptsd from it 🤣🤣 xxx
I did that the other day. I said to my dog, “miss, (caregivers name) is coming. No, (mimic barking). If you know (mimic barking) you get, (drop cookie) “. She did good. She barked, maybe one time. And she came right back to me, and sat like a good girl.
Thank you, I am going to try a small yelp for a minor issue I am having.
Playbowing with dogs is so much fun!
I use miming when grooming one of my dogs to show what I want to do next, especially around her head. I mime a dog ear using my hand on my head or hold the scissors next to different areas on my face. I will also cup my chin with my hand then offer her my hand for her to rest her chin.
😂
I'm already known by friends and acquaintances as the crazy dog lady. I also study what works for individual dogs under my care. After researching general Dalmatian characteristics when my normal techniques weren't working on a 9-month-old Dal with not a lick of training when my friend adopted her, I tried time outs - I put her into the garage sternly stating, "Time Out", closed the door and then went around the yard squeaking her toys, pretend talking and laughing for several minutes. It took all but 2 times for her to figure it out and from there all I had to say is "Do you need a time out" and she would immediately stop her misbehaviors. Like most Dals, she couldn't stand not being part of whatever was going on without her. But this only worked at her or my house cuz she knew I'd never leave her alone away from those places. Clever girl.
Two schnoodles don't make a schnoodle. 🎶🎶They make a schnoodlette (female) or a schnoodlaire (male). And my schnoodle does the 2-way stretch almost every time she gets up from laying down. Scratches after a poop, too. And barks at the air. Great dog.
All I can say is, I loved every second of this video!!!!!!!
Ralphie
Thanks, great video. Tells me our dog is super happy and we know he is healthy.
I call the stretch, "Puppy Yoga" 💞🥰💞
Great video. I LOL'd when the cat was looking at the dog scooting on the rug! 12:34
Anyone who missed that moment (above), the most hilarious moment, put your cursor on 12.35. You need to be quick, but it's so subtle, yet also side-splitting two seconds on the whole, excellent mini-doco! Most highly recommended!
P.S. This is the most informative "general" pod cast on canines I have seen, and I've watched many! Well done 'Happy Dogs Place'!
Excellent video!
Explains alot with the stretching there's always playtime after 😂👍🏼
i have 2 greyhounds who are amazing..so intelegent.and clever both rescue dogs..ex racers ,they have come on leaps and bounds in the outside world they never knew..they do the zoomies too...amazing dogs and so lovable and my male dog is so velcro...5 years caged and now free..he would follow me to the end of the world...
Friends that had this breed loved them (as myself) their babies didn’t require much walks?? I’m looking for a breed that doesn’t require as much walking
@@juliakegg8683 greyhounds dont take much walking,they just like to sleep,so a short walk is enough for them...
@ that’s what I thought. Thank you for confirming
A good video for people that do not know anything about dogs, and that are thinking of purchasing one
I’ve never had a dog as a pet but really love them. Good video❤️🇨🇦
My first guide dog, after a day of classes in college, would get his leash in his mouth, with me still holding it, and dance around. Silly boy.
My second guide dog would lick my feet every night before we went to sleep. It was our little routine. Sweet boy.
My third guide dog took seven months to drop her favorite toy in my lap, but gave me her belly a day and a half after I got her. Sweet girl.
She's fourteen next month, and I get to see her soon. I'm incredibly excited. We've been apart for the longest time since I got her. It's been a long nine months!
I wonder what guide dog number four will be like.
Dogs are simply amazing and deserve love and attention, proper training, walks, playtime, grooming, and medical care. Some breeds require much more exercise than other breeds, so be sure to get a dog that will fit your lifestyle. I know someone that currently has 4 dogs she calls rescues.. she got them from the shelter. All 4 are small breed dogs and spend 10 hours daily or more alone while their owner works. None are potty trained and even when their owner is at home the dogs do their business in the house and this has been going on for a few years. They do have a large fenced yard to play in when their owner is at home but will still come back inside to do their business. This person constantly boasts on social media about having 4 rescues and posts pics of her dogs in outfits, etc. as if she is this great dog mom.. Those dogs got more attention and exercise at the shelter than they do now. If you own a dog and have to work, that is understandable, but if you have no one else at the house to let the dogs outside, and or to walk them, you should hire someone to do it... the dogs deserve it. In my opinion.
Of course they do 😢
Oh my... the smell in that house..I cannot even imagine
My "velcro dog" currently has his head resting on his favourite pillow, my foot. He is not anxious nor has he ever been neglected. I have bought him up since he was born. He is never further than a few feet away from me when I am at home, he sleeps st my bedroom door, he lies at the front door and waits for me to come home. He is a typical blue heeler cross, not anxious.
Love this video, thank you!
Thats so cool they got the dogs to tell people all this amazing info!
This was great and very helpful.
My dog does the downward dog stretch to show me she needs to go outside haha that was the main difference from your video. To show me she wants to play she does this hilarious spin thing and makes this howl sound it’s so funny. She also talks cause she’s a husky. Also every morning as soon as I stir she jumps on my chest and gives me a huge hug and says I love you in 3 distinct syllables it’s adorable. Jumps up and gives me hugs when I come home. Paws at her bowl when she’s hungry or paws at me like she tapping me saying “hey, hey, hey, hey - feed me”. She always cuddles in the curl of my legs cause I’m a side sleeper so we look like yin and yang. It’s adorable love her to death I’m sure she does other things too but those are the ones that came to mind
I just love these videos ❤ 😂
Pika is pronounced, "pie-kuh". This is a great video that answered some interesting questions.
When I go to let Sammy in the house I bend down to unhook his leash and he always stretches down so I have to bend over even farther. He thinks I'm lazy.
I'm retired and got a dog for exercise. But he takes his job too seriously. He is very athletic.
I wanted a personal trainer. I got a Marine Corp Drill Instructor.
😅😅😅
😂😂😂Sameeeee
Brilliant 😂
That is awesome ..thank you 😂
It sounds more like he has a negative association with this action. Perhaps it sounds bad (jingling, crunching), or pulls his fur, maybe he was trained with force (leash jerks, prong collar). Or it isn't a negative association and he is naturally following the downward movement of your hand.
Whatever the reason, it will be easy to fix: pair removing the leash with giving a little treat. He is reaching up to you, plus gaining a positive association with removing the leash 😊
Great information. Thank you.
I am heartbroken to discover that since Covid, I rarely see other dog walkers, when I used to see lots. Walks are vital for dogs, and they are pretty good for humans!
Best thing to do during COVID. Get out with your dog and exercise
We rarely take our pup for walks but go to a dog park for him to run as much as he wants
@@rogerward801 The walk is pretty special. Just saying. Mine loves it when we do the woods, and I just turn him loose to chase and come back over and over, which he seems to be very proud of, proving his recall like that. But that walk seems to mean just as much. I don't know why. It's good for both the dog and the owner.
This is a wonderful video, thank you so much. I shared it on my social media.
Thank you so much for your sharing an amazing canine behavior tips. God bless. 🙏✌
Something I heard recently about Chihuahua's. I was told that they are the dog with the best hearing, and as you mention here, all dogs hear much more than we do. This is one of the reasons the little tykes bark so often, seemingly at nothing. So, you want security, get a Doberman and a Chihuahua.
Very interesting explanations for a lot of the behaviors I wondered about, thank you!
This video answered allot of my questions about dogs
Great video. Miss my dog, 8 years since he passed. 💔
This video answered so many questions I've had...THANK YOU! I just subscribed ♥️
My dog's paws smell like popcorn--I love it.
My dog's smell like fritos
Mine smells like Fritos 🤣
They say it from yeast but we bathe her all the time
it is true use vinegar and water on paws.@@audrealambert9583
Frito Feet!❤
That smell comes from having a lot of grains in their diet, carbohydrates. When they eat more protein and veggie rich or grain free foods, that smell goes away. Grains can also be more difficult for them to digest. My dog has to have rice in his foods, though. We have Frito Feet here!❤
@@MamaPinks thank you for letting me know this valuable piece of information.Im going to incorporate more brown rice n veggies n stay away from the grain👍🐾🎯
Great video! Thank you! New Subbie here! We have 2 dogs we rescued from the shelter. We’ve had the a year and a half. The girl, Hippie, is half Holden Retriever and half Pitt. The boy, Smokey, is full Pitt! They are wonderful and we love them so much!! Animals are such blessings!!❤
Our cat does alot of these habits 😊
My two shih tzu does zoomies, especially after I bathed them. There’s me thinking they loved it. Love the video, it certainly opened up my eyes to dogs behaviour 👍👍
In general a tired dog is a good dog. Tiredness can be achieved through exercise or training or hopefully both.
Most if not all bad behaviors cease or greatly diminish with a tired dog that gets enough attention.
100% good approach
A long story about a dog stretching for anyone board. I use to have a neighbour who ran a pretty large junk yard. I ran my own body shop just up the road and over the years we traded work and did a lot for each other. If I needed a deck truck or wrecker he let me borrow his free of charge, some times I would do the odd run for him as well. One day I needed a truck to deliver a car I had finished as it wasn't registered, inspected or safetyed yet. He told me I could use ut but it had a large six cylinder diesel he had just swapped out of his pay loader on the deck that needed to be dropped off at another junk year first. No problem, it was about half an hour away so an hours round trip and I could make my own delivery. So when I got there it was after closing but I had been there many times and knew where they kept their loader to lift it off the truck and most of these places leave the keys in their machines for just such a reason. Now unlike my friends place this place had junkyard dogs some of which were tied and some not. He had all shepards which I love and find to be an amazing breed of dog very smart with good instincts. As I walked up to the shop where the loader sat parked I noticed some very large paw prints in the mud bigger than any shepard I had ever seen. Over on the earth hill used as a fence sat half a dozen shepherds watching me but it never phased me as I had never had any problem with them before. Little did I know they were just picking a seat for the main show. As I walked straight on towards the loader I looked back to my right away from the shepherds and saw a single sleeper taken off a highway tractor, I caught movement of what I knew right away was a Rottie who stirred and was watching me. I thought what a good calm pup and even spoke to him. He still didn't exit the sleeper until.......until I passed the halfway point and was in his zone where he felt comfortable catching me. He slowly stepped out of the sleeper stretching so as to not hurt any muscles in the calalminity to come. That made me stop. Then I noticed the chain the dog was secured to the ground with. It was transportation grade 3/8th link chain. The time you use for lifting thousands of pounds. I had used for tying down tractors at my previous job. I turned and started running back and the dog started running at me the same time. I didn't stop to look but that chain was roaring as it rubbed on the lip of the sleeper until it all came out and then was rubbing on the ground. I swear I felt it's hot breath on my back when the chain went taught. I was so angry by what happened, the Shepherds were yipping and moving around but never left the hill, they were not getting involved in this. I went back to the truck and grabbed a hold down chain with the big long axel hook and turned to deal with the Rottie but calmed down realizing he did his job and really could not be blamed. Personally I think having dogs like that around a business is just asking for a law suit but that's a personal opinion. To this day I don't trust Rotties who are not socialized regularly or any dog not use to being around other dogs, people and or animals. I have seen guard dog rotties mangle people up over innocent situations some will never be right again. Dogs are our best friends in the whole world of species out there. They thrive in healthy two way relationships with humans and we do as well. I can still say to this day I have not been bitten by a dog, even supposedly cross ones if you pay attention to what they are telling you and respect it.
Please walk your dog lots. .good for you too! They love to be with you all the time do not have a dog when you are gone all day!
Take them with you all the time 🐾💖
❤
Disabled and my pups make me move. Good thing and inside weather by 7 pm zoomies and wall bouncing. 12 lb and 18 lbs. they move furniture. My buddies and they know whos first for next walk. Disregard and they know and don't like. Love a pup!
Stretch so they are warming up muscles in preparation to play. Inviting you to play with them and have lots of fun 😊❤😊❤😍😍🥰😍❤❤❤❤❤
frankie Ive always thought my pug son does his stretches to get ready for tummy time....hes not wrong 🤣 Hubby is the same 😂😂
It’s to stretch out real good so he can tear up every shirt I own when I get home. He is a proud dog mommy can’t cut his nails without a whole day of wasted fussing & fighting around without nothing getting done. Or that is their own excuse anyways .
It's a dopamine release at your presence
My dog does the "Play Bow" all the time! Cool!
Good info. 😊👍
Stretching for dogs is primarily about releasing energy or tension... not always negative energy or tension, but more wound up energy that the dog needs to get out. Dogs yawning does the same thing. It's body language too, telling other dogs their state.
I don't ignore my dogs, I will sit down and let them and give them all the attention they need, then I go about my chores. Eating dog poo, dirt, grassk can also be a nutritional deficiency, this is something my vet told me. I have been rescuing dogs for over 40 years and have a lot of research under my belt. I have worked with conventional and homeopathic vets. Don't let them lick your feet, if you have athlete's foot of discolored nails - you have a fungus and the dogs can get that, ask a vet.
One of the two cats I'm sitting always has a big stretch when he approaches me for a pat. It's like he knows what's coming - he always looks at my hands - and he wants to be feeling "just right" when he gets his scrombles on the head and neck. Yes, when a cat - or a dog for that matter - likes running your knuckles over their head etc. I call those scrombles :)
New subscriber! 👍
Some of these things apply to cats as well, I had wondered why my cat who wouldn't let anyone but me touch her, would come into the bathroom, but would turn away from me and sit at the door, I figured she was protecting me. That wasn't hard to figure out when I thought more about it, but initially I didn't get it.
thankyou
I knew this about the scratching on the ground after going to the restroom, Tail chasing, zoomies. We don’t let ours jump on anyone affection or not.
You're sure about the ghost thing? There was this one time when I was walking my dog on our usual route we've done for years. We were walking by a utility post that's always been there when she stopped and started barking at it even though there was nothing there. Since she couldn't talk she couldn't tell me what her problem was. She never did that before and never has again since. So if it wasn't ghosts why was she barking at the post?
Probably some male dog marked that post with his scent and she was being territorial.
Dogs will react to small changes that we ignore. Maybe there was a cricket or cicada making noise that freaked her out. Or possibly she saw something which she thought was so important, a piece of trash for instance, that you would have completely ignored but she took to be a big deal.
Just like we do before taking a run, be prepared!!!!
Dogs do react to ghosts/spirits, but only of they feel it is a threat. The post most likely had a scent on it they disliked - like another dog they feel could be a threat to you.
I went through that with a dog in 82. We had a ghost in the apartment. My dog always let me know what room it was in and what part of the room. We had to move.
Thanks for sharing.. Very helpful 🙏❤️
good info
This also helps by holding their paws.. it helps to normalize holding so nails and touch is expected. We have had our dogs chill the moment we just hold their paws if we do this as they grow. If you get a dog older this takes time to learn
You mentioned in order to discourage dogs from jumping all over us when we get home just try to ignore them, and that's sad and can hurt them emotionally they are just trying to love you, and express their excitement, can you imagine if our family or friends try to ignore us because we are showing too much love and joy and excitement
Great just great thanks ❤❤❤
Why does my dog rub her face on my comforter, fleece throw,and pillows? I used to think she had something in her eye but she does it every time she’s on my bed at night. I don’t remember other dogs doing this.
She knows she is yours and she knows those items are yours and she is marking them with scent her scent even though you probably can't smell her. Michael Timmons DMV Wyoming
She's probably cleaning her face. My dog does it especially after she's had a treat, like she's rubbing her mouth off.
My best guess is because they all have your scent on them, and your pup is trying to collect that scent. My dog does the same thing to my pillow, and I take it as a sign of love from him.
My two dogs do most of the things you mentioned. Now I now why 👍👍👍
Dogs also eat poop (generally their own, but can be other animals' poo) in order to reset gut bacteria... or just because it tastes good the second time down. My one dog never eats his first poo of the day, or one sitting out for over an hour... but take him for a walk or to do park, and his (usually 3rd+) later poos are eagerly eating like candy before I can even get over to it (I do use a cane, so am not fast). They also like rabbit, squirrel and chicken poos I have found.
My dachshund loved cow poo! She would chase a cow until it pooped then dive in and eat it. Once she rolled in it!
Im a plain out dog lover. I cant see myself with small dogs...but who knowsin the future. I do well with the big ones. I learn the language dogs give. Makes caring for them a breeze.
I didnt watch the video...i hope it was good!
My 5 year old Doberman is definitely a Velcro dog. Got her when she was 2 & she quickly became one the first year I got her but at the same time she doesn't have separation anxiety.
My Velcro dog is my baby, my oldest dog has to scout out for me❤❤I luv them so much🥰
I have had dogs all my life. I never heard the term "zoomies" I guess it is new day speech.
Ive always known of the term zoomie as meaning a crazy figure of 8 chase around the house. I think zoomies is a new term of phrase though. xx
