Real Meanings Behind 10 Odd Dog Behaviors

- In this video, we will talk about 10 awkward things dogs do and explain the meaning behind them.
Why dogs like squeaky toys
You might not realize it but your precious dog loves squeaky toys because they satisfy their prey drive. The squeaky sound of a toy taps into their instincts as it resembles the high-pitched sound that a small prey animal would make when it is attacked.
Your canine enjoys the instant gratification they get from repeatedly gnawing on a squeaker.
Picking up their food and carrying it away
You have probably noticed that your dog picks up its food from where you place it and carries it someplace else in the house.
In the wild, dogs run in packs. When they make a kill, rather than stay in the pack and fight for what is theirs. When your canine takes their food to a separate area, it means they need their privacy and want to protect their meal.
Why dogs wink at you
Dogs often wink when they have some irritants in their eye. The irritation may be from a physical item such as dust, dirt, hair, or even cleaning sprays.
Why dogs roll around in poop
Rolling in poop is an instinctual behavior, harkening back to the days when your dog’s wild ancestors would mask their scent to sneak up on their prey. Wolves, for example, have been observed rolling in the droppings of plant-eating animals or animal carcasses to cover up their own scent during the hunt.
Canines also scent roll as a way of communicating with their "pack". By rolling around in a smelly mess, your dog can bring information back to the rest of the pack about a new thing.
Remember that what you deem as a pleasant smell might be unpleasant for dogs. For example, the smell of scented shampoos on a dog’s fur may send them running outside to roll on the stinkiest thing they can find.
Creating hidden lair
Dogs’ wild ancestors had the instincts to hunt things and bring them back home to eat later. Our dogs today still retain these instincts. This is one of the reasons why your canine companion picks up random things such as their toys and takes them to a secret place in your house. After all, this is supposed to be their secret lair.
Why dogs bury bones
In the wild, dogs live from meal to meal, never knowing where or when they'll eat next. When they end up with a surplus of food, they save it for later by burying it in dirt.
Burying carcasses and bones helps the meat last longer as it keeps it away from direct sunlight. The temperature of the earth also decreases with the depth of the hole, keeping the food fresher longer.
Why dogs show jealousy when you pet another animal
Scientists believe dogs are capable of jealousy in relation to any type of social creature. A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that when dog owners displayed affectionate behaviors towards another pet in the house, the dog would show signs of stress and anxiety.
Why dogs lick you
More often than not, dogs lick you to show you affection and love. Licking is also a way for canines to bond with family members. When your dog licks you, it’s their way of grooming you and showing they care about your wellbeing. And if you have the taste of some yummy treats on your skin, then your pet might have another motive for their licking behavior.
Keep in mind that dogs also use their tongue to explore the world through scent and taste. Licking people and objects is their way of touching things like we do.
Why dogs stare at you so intensely
A dog stare is actually a form of communication in the canine world.
More often than not, dogs watch you to understand what you’re doing.
Dogs and humans have a special relationship. Dogs are naturally attached to their owners and they take an interest in what their favorite humans do. Watching people is how they gather information about our actions.
Sometimes they are waiting for us to do something that will impact them, like picking up the leash to take them for a walk. Or to perform a specific command like “Sit” and earn a reward.
Keep in mind that dogs also use eye contact when they want something from you. Finally remember that if your dog looks at you with longing eyes, it is a sign that they love you.
Why dogs eat poop
Dogs want clean spaces to play and live. Dogs often eat their puppies' feces to keep their home clean.
Eating fecal droppings is also a way of obtaining key nutrients.
While we may view poop as dangerous, it’s not as scary as we think. While eating poop from sick animals can be an issue as it can contain viruses, parasites, and bacteria, healthy poop often contains harmless bacteria, water, and some undigested food. Poop can be nutritious and help reset the gut bacteria to healthy levels.
Some dogs may also start to eat their own poop because of environmental stress or anxiety. Studies have shown that dogs who are kept alone in kennels or basements are more likely to eat poop than those dogs who live close to their people.
7:09 OMG DID THAT LADY FEED THE DOG A GRAPE? GRAPES ARE DEADLY FOR DOGS!
IKR I SAW THAT TOO
Yes they're bad for them, yes they can be deadly, no you should never feed a dog grapes, with all that being said, animals just like people are shockingly resilient. I've also heard never to feed your dog cooked chicken bones and it will kill them, so when I had my friend's dog come visit and live with me over Christmas and he ate a fried Chicken bone, I was mortified, but my mom told me that my Grandpa has been feeding his Border Collies chicken bones since about 1958 and unless they got hit by a car, all lived full happy lives. What I'm trying to say is, it's not like they're made of arsenic, one single grape will likely not kill your pooch especially if it's a full-size dog.
Never give grapes to dogs
@Noxti! Really? Maybe I'll have to use that trick on some of my barn cats then, there's about 2 bakers' dozen of them out there and I can't even afford to feed them in this economy, and that's when you can even find food!
7:09 An old woman gives a grape to a dog!? Grapes of all varieties are toxic for dogs
I actually went back to rewatch that bit because you never give dogs grapes
My cousin made this mistake. He was a truck driver and took his fur baby. He was munching on grapes and gave her some. He called me crying saying she pooped nonstop. I asked what did he give her to eat that day. Grapes 🙈
So much truth here. Thank you.
My dogs do all of these - they forgot this one: dog taking over the bed and pushing me off
been there already done that
@@kristinvanbuskirk5573 MI
Whenever I'm at my friend's house, if his dog needs to go out, she immediately finds me and just looks me in the eye with a very specific look on her face, the second I ask if she needs to go outside she runs to the door. Every single time, it's like she knows I can read her better than my buddy lol
1:52 WHY WOULD THEY BE FLIRTING WITH ME-😭🤚
Thanks for all this information
Very informative! Explains a lot about our golden retriever. Thanks!
Thank you for the information given...❤lots..
Lol I had a dog with a favorite squeek toy. That one he was always gentle with, also his first toy, he kept it safe until he passed at 13.
Mine chewed all of her toys up 💀
My moms dog had a stuffed Eeyore like this my mom has it on top of his urn now on her shelve
oh, mine is 14 rn
I love dogs!
Great tips👍
i hate dogs!
🐶 😉
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for that Information..and the lovely präsentation
Jaw Dropping Facts, these videos are truly wonderful. My husband and I found your channel about a week ago, and I have been practicing much of what I should do to keep my dog happy, and I already get more affection from him!!!
Please don`t place too much store in what you see here. @7:09 they clearly show a woman giving a dog a grape.
If you don`t know what grapes can cause to dogs, I suggest you look it up. Never feed grapes to dogs.
@@georgerubypoppy1063 And cherries, avocados all toxic for dogs.
I love these animations 😂❤
I literally started laughing at the end. You can't say poop that many times and expect me to not giggle like a school girl.
I'm so glad my dog never eats or roll in poop
Obi my boy got into a territorial hissing fit with another animal and sprayed urine indoors! Yuk!
U and me both. In fact my dog avoids even being around his own poop. The only rolling around he does is after a bath on top of the bed. Never seen him even rolling on grass.
Me to
My daughter's German Shepherd doesn't do this either.😅💩
Ur so lucky lol
Thanks for ur knowledge 😂😇😌😊💜❣️💛🥰🤗
I didn’t think I could learn anything more about my dogs but this was a pretty cool video I learned a thing or two I’m shocked lol
Outstanding
One time when I was petting a cat my puppy was so jealous she started to bark and one time I catch her chasing that same cat i pet
She is so jealous ❤❤❤😂😂
thank you, i learned a lot about dogs .
THE LADY FED THE DOG A GRAPE WHATTTT🤣🥲

Yea I feel you grapes are highly toxic to dogs
And raisins toxic death
So helpful and informational. Thank you arf arf!😍☺️ ~Pepper the Husky
Cool and thanks
I can't believe that lady gave her dog a grape at 7:10!
yep, I gasped as well. She probably followed it up with a piece of chocolate
Ik it’s poisonous why would they do that omg!
and deer droppings. My gawd, my two Labs love the deer pewp!
My dog kept staring at me. You won’t believe i was seriously shy. Like it was too much🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When I give my maltipom a snack, she usually will pick it up and bring it to her koala and put it on his mouth or belly, that's her favorite stuffed animal, so darn cute!!! ❤️😍
Hello Eva how are you doing today
I have 6 dogs, and let me tell you, jealousy is a very real thing among them!! Two of mine are incredibly jealous and will try to push any of the others out of the way any and every time that we're trying to give them attention. Two of them are semi-jealous, and will always come running when the others are getting attention, but only sometimes do they push the others out of the way. And two of them, one being the one we've had the longest and the other being the one we've had the least amount of time, very rarely show jealousy and both usually just let the others fight for the attention. They're both timid in character and very "chill."
Having a big pack is a constant love-filled adventure!!
We have 4 American Bulldogs. Mom, Dad, biggest son and runt daughter who was born blind/ no light perception.
Definitely jealous...
3 packs...Dad and runt, Mom, Son.
The blind runt, Helen Keller was just diagnosed with liver failure.
Idk what her Dad is going to do when she passes (6 months or so).
Helen is the smartest of course. Very sad. But she and the other 3 know what's up. They knew before we did. She's taking it well. We give her an IV bag of fluid every other day. She's worried about me more than herself.
Constant Love-Adventure, agreed.
Just tells you how smart and intelligent they are. And not just dogs, all the animals.
My dog does almost all of this lol
My dog is so clean she never goes near dirt she cleans herself and everything and she’s only 11 weeks old😂
thank you for this information cuz i recently bought a dog from a guy and it's gonna come at sunday-monday
@8:49 My dog ate a stool once.
He then went on to eat a sofa, one armchair, a chaise lounge and my grandmother's old rocking chair whilst she was out playing bingo.
😆😆
Ha ha very funny
So that’s why I see so many dog toys under my bed 😂😂😂
I have a dresser where the front of the bottom drawer fell off. One day i couldnt find him and went into a complete panic. That dresser is actually behind the door when you walk in the room. I somehow found him in there. Since that day, i gave up that drawer for him. Its his hidey hole now.
I have two dogs, sisters, pugs, they’re not interested in toys, being 12 years old. They sleep all day, visitors are welcome, they’re well adapted and never feel threatened in their own environment. They display none of the instincts you mention. At bed time they both come in for the best cuddles of the day. They are the sweetest more adorable and loving pooches with so much patience. I would fully recommend adopting two or more from the same pack, they have continuity, companionship of their sibling/s and the additional love from their adoptive parents and have a greater life expectancy as a result of that level of support. Mine have lost their parents and the other siblings that were adopted singly, mine are thriving together as a result of their familial kinship and love and support and mega cuddles each day 🥰
Because these dogs have been genetically modified so that they are more distant from their natural instincts. Hence why pugs do not look like wolves.
@@jacqueslee2592 agree, they are nothing like wolves. I wouldn’t want to live with a wolf personally.
All of this information is very interesting 🤔 so anyways God bless everyone who comes across this comment 🎚️🎚️🎚️🎚️
When you were speaking of poop I automatically thought of my puppy yesterday eating goose poop on our walk and was going to ask my vet about it but you answered my question thank you also wanted to add my puppy 11 weeks old since 6 weeks has been obsessed with ripping up our lawn not digging necessarily just laying there and pulling up the grass like dental floss maybe it feels good between her teeth? But she actually eats chunks of mud if they lift for her constant mud eating is starting to worry that her diet isn't so good she's already been to worms checked for parasites and all of that . She is on carnivore dog food so she's definitely not missing any nutrients that I can think of I also change up the flavor I use to give her a variety of protein and meat
Then you should give your dog homemade dog food. It tastes better to them and there's recipes on TH-cam.
My dog loves chicken poop. It must be like candy to them.
@@shakeandbaked1 😂😂😂 I know right same with cat poop even when it's covered in litter and they don't care I'd rather a dog poop in my yard because at least my dog won't eat it when cats do she's all for it 🤢🤢
I walk with a friend with our lurchers mine a greyhound/whippet cross, his a saluki/whippet cross, they literally vacuum up rabbit poo out in the fields, both of them love it! My dog I’m afraid to say also manages to locate every bit of fox poo and rolls all over in it, to her it’s Chanel No 5! She comes back, so happy wagging her tail, like ‘look what a good girl I am mum’ 🤣
holy poop
For me, one of our dogs likes to nudge her way under your hand if you’re petting another dog.
Good Info BUT at 7:12, lady feed the dog a grape.
Do NOT give your dog grapes.
Grapes are TOXIC to dogs.
Keep pups safe!
“Poop can be nutritious!” Yeah my stomach thanks you!
They like squeaking toys bc it sound like the pray screaming help
whys people saying first or third you literally dont even get something for it
Lmfao so true

Now I learned about dogs. Thanks for sharing this with me
Ooo now I know why my dog rolls around the house soon as I let him out of the bathroom after the shower
gotta change the shampoo
7:07 grape is no good to the dog.🥵
I love dogs!
My k-nine always takes his bone somewhere else so my other 2 dogs dont take it😅
What about when my puppy gets a treat and she decides to roll her head and body all over it or toss around in the air LOL
7:10 -Woman giving her dog a grape.. Grapes can be very harmful to dogs!
Is the food a lady giving the black labrador in 7:13 a grape?!?! Don’t grapes kill dogs??
I used to have a Jack Russel Terrier & I regularly had to get poop out of his mouth whilst out on walks 🤢.
My dog only stares at me when she wants to go to bed. She paws at me and just stares. It’s kinda funny honestly. She also pleasures herself and then chases her tail, barking and growling at it. My family’s dog inhales her food and doesn’t take it anywhere else. Mine takes a few kibbles and eats it, does it again, and then eats the rest in front of her bowl. Once my niece attempted to wipe herself and threw it in the trash, well my dog decided to roll on the wet wipe. I didn’t have glasses on so I couldn’t see what it was. I immediately gave her a bath and almost threw up on my own dog it was so rank.
roflmao! My dog thinks used pads are an awesome toy, so don't worry.
My dog will do this weird thing when we are playing, he'll freeze and lower his head and stare at me, and i do the same. And after a few moments of doing that , one of us randomly starts running and the other chases.
That's a call for play. (•‿•)
My pup takes a chunk of meat out of the bowl and goes to eat it slowly meanwhile my older dog chows through hers and ends up eating the pups bowl too 🤣🤣🤣
My dog loves to stare and side eye me a lot lol but he also loves to lick my feet especially after a shower its so annoying sometimes. I have to put socks on. He does the stare when he needs to go poop lol 😆 if I don't get up the first time he goes and stops at the door and looks back and then comes back to me and stares until I get up lol.
Also if your dog eats your other dog's poop, it could be a sign of jealousy. My oldest family dog would go out of her way to eat the youngest dog's poop to the point of getting sick because she didn't like her and hated that she got attention too. It was kinda like her way of erasing our youngest dog's territory since they would go in the same area
Woe!!!😳👊🏻THATS so interesting!! Wow, the big dog ate the small dogs poop ur saying?? N it was from jealousy or distain? THATS just trippy! 😳 never heard of it bfor either. Neat tho...dogs r just absolutely amazing to me, i really really love the dog
@@dionnedunsmore9996 you found that interesting? I find it pretty disgusting. Dogs are disgusting.
@@warondogs8199 no their not just bc they things differently doesn’t mean it’s disgusting 🤢 it’s just differ
@@madamfroggy4387 so you wouldnt have a problem if a person did that?
@@warondogs8199 that’s not our nature it’s other animals nature to do that
Regarding "rolling in erm, stuff...My first dog a b/c x lab. she loved winter because the local park had football pitches marked out. For some reason she loved rolling in the white lines...My last dog a full b/c just had to roll in the smelliest stuff ever, fox poo, just before a vet's visit...
our dogs does strange things but they always go crazy when they see a another dog what do that mean?
Play my dog 🐕 loves playing with other dogs
the dogs at my uncles house become aggressive when they meet someone new💀
I kaugh at the idea of a dog rolling in death and telling his friends to smell him.
I have a dog who used to eat her poop because she can smell food in it. After much research we changed her to a raw diet and this habit disappeared in 24 hours never to return. Hope this helps someone!
I am going to try it. Mine litter-box surfs. We have 11 cats. It is so disgusting.
why did that lady give her dog a grape???
Can i ask..my 2 month old Pomeranian bite me idk if its teeth is itchy or something :(
I wonder if dogs also eat poop to hide the scent of their breath from prey. I had two dogs and one was more of a hunter and the other was a harmless lab, the lab never ate poop but the hunter did daily on walks. They had the same diet. Btw that reason for why they love squeakers was disturbing lol. Whats weird is my hunter dog hated squeak toys but loved to hunt little animals, yet my harmless lab loved sqweakers and rarely went after small prey.
My family has two puppies one named Bowser and the other one named Koopa…. Bowser has been eating poop lately and he is only 7/8 months old! We always wondered why but now I know
Our yellow Labrador has a fixation on eating out of the cats litter box. We had to put up a fence that the cat can climb.
My dog likes too hide his food lol.
Is it me only when my dog winks at me I thought they was flirting 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅
The other day my dog winked at me and I winked at him back 🤣🤷♂️
That woman at 7:10 fed the dog a.... GRAPE. Gasp.
My dog walks with me off-leash each night on the golf course we live on. Twice a week he will find spot suddenly and stop , drop &roll like he's on fire.. Smh
Dogs eating poop can turn into quite quitr tricky situations, especially humsn poop. We have a dog in a large city downtown and our dog found a particular enjoyment in eating poop of the street/park and get hight of whatevers left in that from the humam who left it outside... Our trainer told us that dogs can get adducted to human poop, especially if it's from junkie's. So he careful and don't dismiss it as the wholesome answers you got on this video. Which poop they eat is very important here. One they start eating human poop, they will started to look for it intentionally.
My dog loves cat poop 😂
7:11 the woman was giving the dog 🐶 a grape 🍇 (that’s toxic to them)
I saw that too ….. not the best dog advice 😅
Our dog ears them.notcmany but she's fine
@@judyfloyd6668 grapes can sometimes contain fungie that can kill them. Giving your dog a grape is like playing russian roulette!
Did the lady at 7:08 feed that dog a grape?
Why my dog is always running out if i want go job for example?? He is puppy 4months old
I knew most of these habits from previous dogs I've had, but the eating of poop is something completely new with our Golden Retriever. She only does it in winter when it's thoroughly frozen into "poopsickles". The main difference between this one and the previous 3 female dogs I've had in my life is she's the only one that ever had puppies.When she gets scolded she just chomps down faster then comes running looking for praise. Makes me sick but I have to tolerate it.
Poopsickles 😂
The problem with it is they can get sick or even parasites. That is what happened to one of our small dogs. He would never stop but was always getting sick from it.
@@davidmacy411 now she's having seizures. Don't know the true cause. Heard it's common in Goldens.
@@mikemcgown6362 I honestly have no idea. The only exposure I had to a GR was a grandparents dog. Hopefully its nothing serious.
@@davidmacy411 we ended up putting her down because of the seizures getting worse and changing her whole behavior. No more seizures, no more suffering. Sad day.
What about dogs who pick out the blueberries, put them in a pile & eat them for “dessert”??
My Pyrenees eats poop if I don’t get it picked up fast enough. When I come home from our son’s house next door I get the full body smell from my girls. He has four dogs.
In the video that lady gave that dog a grape! 😨
What is the name of the cartoon dog? the one rolling on the dear
My dog drops his toy with a squeaker if it squeaks, and looks so surprised. I think he believes he's hurt it😆.
My black lab had a big heart just like your fur baby! It was a Halloween glow in the dark screamer ball. She'd run to it but it would make a noise, so she'd leave it and run back to me. She'd play fetch as long as you threw the ball!
My chihuahuas are scared to death of squeakers.
On the last one… look all I know is I had a puppy once who almost dies. COULD NOT eat or drink anything. After a couple days I starting insisting on water from a medication syringe. The pup threw up it’s own shit that it ate and started immediately feeling better. Coincidence? I’m not a vet but I’d never allow it.
7:07 did she just give that dog a grape? Grapes are deadly to dogs!
Is the dog at 7:10 getting grapes?? You really don’t have much food you shouldn’t give to your dog (I would say 4 types total) but grapes are definitely on the list.
Kalokohan mo maniniwalakpa Ako kung sa Putikan MANONG 😅😂🤣✌️
My old dog would eat alone in the kitchen, but she would still bring it out to the living room. I thought she wanted to eat with us 😩
I'm glad my dog doesn't eat or roll in poop but smells poop😆
My precious dog most definitely is not a predator! How dare you 😤
I certainly hope this is a joke.
Omg that old lady gave her dog a grape?!?
Am scared of everything my dog do
i had a dog once
Hi
WHAT IF SHE WHINES WHILE IM AT THE STORE OR SITTING ON OUR COUCH
why did the girl give her dog a grape! Well at least it looked like one...
Hello Fiona how are you doing today
My puppy eats her poop during weeks of intense training with her favorite treats😭 lol
Did I just see that woman give her dog a poisonous grape at 7:10/9:12 😮
Both my GSD's like to snack on deer poop. Oh well.
