Does it happen that your dog chases his tail, eats poop, or stomps around in circles before lying down to rest? Strange behaviors can be felt, and certainly not why they do as they do. But this is at least what many researchers believe:
Chasing the Tail
Most behavioral researchers are fairly in agreement that an adult dog that chases its tail performs a compulsive or stress-related behavior. It simply does not feel well. But there are also those who believe that it may simply be due to excess energy that must be expended or that it is disease-related. If it only happens a few times, it can also be because the dog is irritated in the back, for example, due to a wound or maybe a tick that has bitten itself.
Eat Poop
It’s not fun for someone who has a dog with this disgusting habit. That the bitch eats the puppies’ poop is completely natural and is believed to have something to do with the fact that she does not want to reveal to predators where the vulnerable little lives are. But if your dog eats poop otherwise, it may be because some nutrient, such as b6, is missing in the diet.
Goes in Circles Before Going to Bed
Here, many behavioral scientists believe that it is a surviving behavior from the dog’s ancestor the wolf. Treading down grass or leveling the ground simply makes it more comfortable to lie on the spot.
Slaughtering Their Toys
It can look violent when the dog shakes, tears, and breaks its toys, but think about what kind of animal the dog is. That’s right, a predator. The behavior is simply the dog’s natural that it performs to kill and eat its prey.
Afraid of Loud Noises and Thunder
Dogs can sense static electricity, which can explain why they become anxious when there is thunder in the air. Loud noises such as fireworks and firecrackers can be feared by anyone if you do not understand what it is.
Staring at You
Since the dog is a domesticated animal that was bred to cooperate with humans, it probably wants something from you. Maybe it’s hungry, wants you to play, take a walk, or help it solve a problem. Eye contact with your own dog is almost always good, especially when training, but be a little careful with dogs you do not know. It can sometimes be perceived as threatening.
