How to understand your dog?

Dogs are man’s best friend. The most amazing thing is that there are a huge number of dog breeds in the world, each with its own amazing characteristics. Along with this, the behavior of dogs is very different, each breed may or may not like a different type of food. All these features make our friends unique and unrepeatable, which is why we love them so much.

However, humans can quite often have trouble understanding their pets. They have some strange habits that can leave a person in a daze, or at least make one wonder why they behave that way. However, one must realize that every behavior, even the strangest, always has a reason. Some of them may be surprisingly simple. Within this material, we will try to look in detail at the most surprising habits and behaviors of our pets, as well as tell you what these habits may be caused by.

Why does a dog’s paws twitch after going to the bathroom?

This habit is probably noticed by every owner of a furry friend who at least once went for a walk with him. Almost every dog, after going to the bathroom, strangely twitches his paws and beats himself on them. Many owners think that this is how they are trying to hide their poop, but in fact it is far from that.

By wiggling their paws they secrete pheromones that mark their territory. This is how one dog lets another dog know that the territory belongs to him. And this is why your dog may be so interested in sniffing other pets’ feces. It’s all about how they communicate.
