Why does your dog do that?

Just like humans, animals have their own little behavioural quirks. But what are the reasons behind why your dog does the things they do? Here we explore some of the top behavioural traits that most dogs share.

Why does my dog like to ride in cars with his head out the window?

This is an unusual one. Most dogs will react unfavourably when a person blows in their face yet, for some reason, they find it perfectly acceptable to stick their head out the car window and into the wind. The fresh air inundating them with interesting new scents is what makes your dog want to ride with the windows down. But be careful; debris flying past could damage your dog’s eyes or face.

Why does my dog eat grass?

Dogs eat grass when they have an upset stomach or digestive system. Although usually carnivorous, eating grass alleviates this sick feeling. If you see them eating grass a lot, a trip to the vet may be in order.

Why does my dog go through the garbage?

They probably smelt something in there they want to investigate further. Dogs are curious animals and like to be at the forefront of the action; unfortunately this is why your garbage is now strewn everywhere! Make sure your bins are secure and that anything that could emit an odour is out of reach of your dog.

Why does my dog get dirty as soon as I’ve washed him?

Sorry to say but this one is a basic instinct and won’t be trained out easily. Dogs roll in the dirt in order to mask their scent and make them less susceptible to predators.

Why does my dog chew my shoes?

If your pooch is a puppy, it may be teething and needs something to chew on, like a human child. Or your dog could just want attention from you, even if it’s negative. Put your shoes in a secure place, buy your dog some actual chew toys and give them some more attention; maybe praising them for not chewing your shoes.

Why does your cat wash your hair or face? The first thing a kitten experiences, even before it can see, is its mother licking and washing. Grooming is a demonstration of love and caring.

Why does a cat go to the visitor who doesn't like cats? When one cat is threatening another, it stares boldly, sometimes hisses, and frequently moves in toward the other cat. Usually, the person who doesn't like cats avoids looking at it, doesn't talk to it, and sits quietly, hoping to be ignored by the cat. The cat, therefore, sees the person's behavior as "cat-friendly" and practically inviting.

Why does your cat push its head against you? This is called "head butts". This is a cat's way of showing affection. Some cats will turn their head, and push it against a human (or another cat).

Why does a cat do a stiff-legged hop/touch against a human? That is the cat's body language of saying, "hey, hi there, how ya doin'?"
