Some interesting dog facts!!
ummmmmm!!!!
Did you ever hear a dog continuously bark and wonder why they do that? Well, barking for a dog is basic communication and they learn that the louder they bark, the more attention they get. Sometimes they just do it because its fun to do. However, similar to whining. A dog will continue the behavior if you reward that behavior. Sometimes ignoring the whine or the bark and rewarding the beautiful sound of silence will help the dog curb the bad noisemaking.
Why do dogs like to sniff each other’s butt? Ewww! Well, a dog can learn a lot from another dog’s rear end. From the secretions at that end of the dog, they will determine the sex of the other dog, what foods the dog likes as well as the social status of the dog. Dogs can also nuzzle the faces of each other to learn some of the same info, but the dogs have to be on pretty friendly terms to go for the face stuff.
When I was starting this entry, it was because I wanted to know why dogs had whiskers, but I found so much other cool stuff that I just wanted to pass it along. However, dogs have whiskers because they act
as a sense organ and help the dog understand and familiarize themselves with their surroundings.
