My daughter & her boyfriend were visiting his sister. My daughter's dog smelled the sister with much greater gusto than usual, then he refused to leave her side. A short time later, they were mixing drinks but the sister "didn't feel like having a drink." Their eyes met & a lightbulb went off. Yes, she was pregnant but wasn't ready to tell the world. The dog alerted them that something had changed (since he had last seen the sister) and the refusal of alcohol confirmed what the dog had indicated.

The rolling in smelly things reminds me of a story a comedian once told, where his dog, during a walk along the river, had intensely rolled in dead fish washed ashore. He brought her home and started giving her a good shower. She didn't want to be showered, however, so she shook herself and got a lot of the smelly mess on him, too. So he thought, while he already was at it, he'd just take of his clothes and get into the shower, too. A moment later, his cleaning lady, who was too early for her job, opened the apartment door unexpectedly, and was greeted by the following scenario: An angry dog, shaking and howling, coming out of the bathroom, followed by a completely naked man saying: "Yes, my dear, I know that you don't like it, but you just have to endure it." He's now looking for a new cleaning lady.

My dog would grab a six pack of soda bottles and set it on my lap when she was little. The poor thing used all her energy to make sure I had enough to drink.

My vet told me that the reason dogs sniff butt is that they can tell just about everything they need to know about someone or another animal by sniffing their butt. What they eat, if they have dog friends, how old they are, how healthy they are, do they live indoors or out. etc. etc. He also said not to waste your time trying to break them of it.

Just get a Dog and love it, make time to watch them grow. If you are wise enough, you will come to understand exactly what your Dog is saying to you and your Dog will Understand what you are saying to them. Trust comes from understanding; Trust turns to love. Get it, all just a circle. Give a Dog love and you will understand them.

My dog used to protect me , and never leave me unguarded unless she had too, rip Bella, who died when I was only 4, Rip.

My dog likes to stare at me while he's eating. When he crunches his kibble, he looks up at me like he's saying--"hey, this is pretty good. How come you never eat it?"

My dog rolled in soil or sand when we made the mistake of washing him with perfumed baby shampoo. He must have hated the smell so he found the only way to neutralize it. RIP Robin you were an awesome dog. :)

I legit always thought dogs kicking after they poop meant they were trying to bury their poo. Even on a hard surface.

When I was a kid we had German Shephard. We lived next to a wooded area and used to let him run free at night. One night he did not return. When I got up for school the next morning, he was sitting proudly on the front porch with 6 dead possums lined up in front of him like a gift.

Lil homie isn't alone 😩

I love your videos. You help me out so much! You deserve more subscribers :)

I've always interpreted when they were tilting their head sideways as their way of saying what.

My mom used to have a dog that was hunting for chickens and then he was bringing them dead onto the porch. For humans it does not sound pretty and no one was happy about this. But from the dog's standpoint it was clear that he shared his prey.

Your videos are always so helpful.

My brothers dogs kept eating his poop for awhile and we really couldn't get him to stop, we had to bring him to the vet like 3 different times before we figured out what's wrong, basically he's the equivalent of a diabetic for dogs bc his body can't break down his food normally so he was always hungry because he, despite being fed 2 times a day both wet and dry food, got no nutrition from it bc of his condition. It was truly hard seeing him so skinny and people telling us to feed our dog more if he was in public bc he was nothing but skin and bone but there wasn't anything we could do until the vets figured it out and sent us the medication he needs to be able to eat

When we had our dachshund we had one of those plastic carriers (for a larger dog) that we established as his safe zone. We all in the house knew to leave him alone when he was in the tote. Every now and then my wife would clean out the tote, wash his bedding, and discover all kinds of stuff hidden under his bedding. Socks, underwear, matchbooks, candy wrappers, snowballs(fluffy toys) and other assorted things...kind of his stash of things to play with when we were gone from the house. We once found our spare set of keys hidden in there.

I took my male chow chow to a company get together. He managed to walk through a croud of 20 guys to find the only woman in the room and he immediately sniffed her butt. All the guys broke out laughing. He followed her around all night. 😅

My dog brings my shoes, their dog toys, all sorts of other things, but especially toilet paper. I have no idea how they find it !😊

love the vids your vids are great

I learned from my dog the reason they go in circles to lay down. As a long legged pup she would just plop down, always sounded like a rough landing. By watching her, I figured out that her legs needed to be synchronized to lay down gently. She was abandoned at two days old. The animal shelter trained her pretty well. A Belgian Malinois, I wouldn't recommend one for children! They need to work!

1:45 There is a cute video of a baby that tries to eat a lemon and gets this really cute "sour" face. Everyone laughs, the baby smiles, then puts the lemon in his mouth again. It's very funny and the kid grows up liking to eat lemons but has no idea why.

I had a cocker spaniel that would grab one of your shoes (and he KNOWS... lol) walk in and drop it just far enough away from you so you can't reach him or it without actually getting up and soon as you stand up he takes off with it lol.

When I was 6, I couldn't find one of my socks. I went up to my uncle's dog, showed him the sock I could find, told him to go find the other sock, and he brought it back to me.

The dog in the clickbait photo isn’t sniffing her butt. He’s doing the same thing that I’m doing. Admiring the heck out of her back pocket! 😂

thousands of years ago dogs were very advanced creatures, each came with a detachable bumhole. whenever they entered a building they left their bumholes outside. one day when all the dogs were meeting in the great hall they were attacked by their enemies the wolves. in their desperation to get into the fight each dog grabbed the first bumhole he could find. the dogs won that day but at a cost, non of the dogs now had their own bumhole. to this very day whenever dogs meet they have a sniff to see if the other dog happens to have their bumhole. true.

Solid! Top KEK! Peace be with you.

Great Thumbnail!👍🏻🤣

I always attributed the paw thrusting after relieving themselves to celebration. Like an end zone dance. No, I never actually believed that but, out of hope, didn’t rule it out either.

Excellent! How fun!

2:05 Dogs love to eat cat poop. A few years back I had a neighbor that was a vet tech. I asked her about this. Her explanation was that cats don't absorb all the protein from their food, so some of it goes out in their poop. Dogs can smell that protein and they want it. It doesn't hurt them, but it does give them horrible bad breath. My sister used to have 2 dogs and three cats (they live in the country), and the dogs would go through the cat litter box looking for what my brother-n-law called "pecan sandies". Their vet confirmed what my neighbor explained.

One theory is when they circle, they are aligning with the earth's magnetic field. Fox's ate way more successful hunting through snow when aligned with magnetic north.

Once my dog brought an entire trashbag

I learned this in a documentary: Wolves will rub into grass to pickup scents so when they go back to the pack, they all can learn about what they found.

Deer walk in circles before they lay down, they are pushing down the grass to make a soft bed to lay in.

Dogs sniff butts to check health and mood. They're also crazy smart.

Greatest thumbnail ever!

A colleague of mine lost her dog because they’d left an empty crisps bag on the counter. An easy mistake to make with horrible, sad and irreversible consequences.

I think they tilt their heads to determine distance and source of sounds. Same reason they twist their ears. In the video many of the dogs doing it had floppy ears that are not twisted as well as on a ancestral gray wolf.

interesting and tastefully done

I don't even give my dog bones anymore. Scares me, When I was child our female dog Janet, a beautiful female mix that we rescued with a great personality was hanging out with me one evening and she was making some strange head movements and paying around her mouth. On fist inspection I didn't see anything in her mouth. The behavior continued so I grabbed a flash light and pried her jaws open again. She had a pork chop bone that some gave her that fit the top of her mouth sideays like a glove. It looked like part of the roof of her mouth. I got a hold of it with my fingers in the back of her throat and pulled it it and it was stuck pretty good. She was so happy she had the zoomies once it was out., Thank she didn't dislodge it and try to swallow it, That would been a real mess and surgury.

My moms dog brought her a dead mouse and later did it again. Brought it from outside and dropped it at her feet like it was a guft.

I came to the conclusion about fifteen years ago that dogs sniff butts in order to learn several things about another dog. They have extremely sensitive noses. They can smell thousands of distinct smells at a time while humans can only smell hundreds or dozens. For example you might smell stew cooking on the stove but your dog smells carrots, celery, beef, potatoes and all the individual seasonings. So my theory is dogs smell butts to find out what the other dog is eating, and if it is sick or healthy etc. This also helps them decide social hierarchy and how they know which dogs from other packs are leaders or followers by the quality of diet, whether they eat the organs and good parts of the best prey, or the leftover scraps of carrion.

My pooch, Baby, stomps up and down on her bedding with her front paws while circling around prior to laying down. I don’t know why. She also will retrieve my bandana from the table and then lay down with it under her head for a pillow. My other dog, Rat, used to take my wife’s panties from the clothes basket and chew the crotch clean out of them. I couldn’t blame him because I did the same thing except for when I did it she was wearing them. I also had Fly. She would greet me or anyone she knew with a very wide and very large smile that was completely apparent to the eyes and she would wag her nub of a tail at the same time. I really miss Fly and Rat terribly but they had lived life like Riley. I rue the day when it’s time for Baby to go through the pearly gates. My belief about our pets, such as our dogs, is that God takes them before He takes us so they won’t be without us as their caregivers and be left to their own devices or to someone else who doesn’t have the same bond as we do and possibly be neglected. Dogs are miracles with paws. They are as innocent and helpless as babies are. They should be loved and shown that love unconditionally and we can never, ever be angered by them. Sorry for the long rant, but I’m very passionate when it concerns man’s best friend

My dog literally brought a sheep leg from the woods i followed him and he was with wolves😂

When I was a kid, had a close family friend that had MD, and she had with a black lab mutt mix. With her limited mobility, the basement wasn’t entered often…expect by the dog; she decided to make the basement her trophy room, complete with a 3 foot high pile of squirrels!

Dogs have access to an entire world that we are essentially blind to. Most people know how superior their senses of smell and hearing are. Many folks aren't aware of the power of the vomeronasal organ. Look it up. When dogs are sniffing you anywhere, not just your butt, they are gathering all sorts of information about you. Ponder this fascinating fact. A dog's sense of smell is so good, that it gives them a sense of time as well as other information. In other words, not only can a dog tell you've been in the house after you've left, they can tell *how long ago* you were in the house!!

My dog has done a lot of weird things like rolling in a carcass of another dead animal, but not poop and finding a bone in our stream bringing it along I looked at it and it was a fossilized bone cool! My other dog, following me on my afternoon walk was carrying a baby rabbit in its mouth not harming it, but the rabbit had a parasite on its neck Guess he wanted me to check it out.

8:40 finally gets to the video title explanation

Wait I get nervous and lick my lips...

I don't have a dog, but I found this interesting. Thsnk you!

Anyone else had a dog that would spin around furiously excited to go out for a walk?

8:30 Cats are the same way. You're in "doing business" and the want to join you. If the door is closed they will sit out there and meow to be let in, and they will try pawing under the door.

My dog once brought me someone elses dog.... Of course I returned it but I still think it was funny

If people could get away with sniffing butts without the stigma that follows, I think a concerning amount would actually do so. 😐

Another reason why dogs lay on their back and expose their tummy is that they are hot and want to cool down. Dogs have a hard time regulating heat because they don't sweat, so this is a way for them to quickly dump built up heat. You will probably notice them doing this after they run around a lot.

Dr. Klinghammer (and now that he's gone, I'd imagine his successors) used to demonstrate scent rolling by wolves at Wolf Park. It's very reproducible. Howl to call them over, spray perfume on the ground, and one of them will roll on it, get up, and then the rest will sniff that one's back. It's saying, here, smell what I found. Of course it's also possible with public demos like this that the animals learn the routine. Dr. Klinghammer said there's nothing hedonic about the behavior, that they'll sniff irritating stuff that makes them sneeze and you'd think would be aversive. Butt sniffing is usually aimed at the perianal sacs, and appears to be a conserved behavior at least in carnivora, because I've seen cats do it too. Besides the reasons given in the video, head tilting seems also to be highly conserved and even more widely distributed, even in humans, as it's recognized as an endearing or flirting gesture. The behavior is not an instinct (a complex nonlearned behavior) in humans, but children learn it quickly because our reaction to it is instinctive.

Another reason i have seen dogs roll around in smelly things is to hide their scent prior to hunting. Sure your average dog living in the suburbs isnt going to find much in the way of prey but i have seen plenty of dogs in rural areas roll in horse & cow poo & then going slinking off into the bush only to return with a rabbit/small prey animal. My dog likes to do it & then bring me back birds (still alive). He is a german wired pointer so its in his genes. It was never a taught trait.

Dogs also circle to get their bearings cause they like to go on the north south axis even though sometimes they’re offkilter a little bit

I remember my parents dog once brought a dead bunny to us when we were at our neighbours barbecue party haha. She was so proud...

2:06 me and my depression.

I always theought the head tilting thing was when they were confused/curious about something.

Your underrated

I have a dog and a cat, and both are very interested in my desktop computer. Interacting with it to the best of their abilities. It's something I find curious.

Dogs have large developed olfactory nodes in their brain. They interact with the world in a different way than us humans. They get ten times (or more) information from their nose than we do.

They have a little satellite dishes. That’s why they tilt their head lol.

Cats often roll around and probably for a similar reason. One difference I always notice is that cats are often silent and hiding somewhere because that is how they would hunt rodents outside. One thing I like about cats is when they do their business outside they burry it. That is nice because I don't think I ever stepped in cat $hit yet!

If we ask our dog if he wants to go out, he’ll bring a toy to indicate yes! Adorbs

Dog's strongest sense is their smell so licking their lips when thing's are happening around them is them smelling out the area or "radaring" their surroundings. When you are making food they are also trying to getter a better smell of what you are making.

well right off they go to saying "might" and "may". The experts are always wanting to be in command, but more often than not they don't really know what motivates dog and cat behavior. Getting to know and communicate with your dog or cat doesn't take the experts. Be around them a lot, interact a lot, be very observant, you'll catch on to how to communicate with each other, even though you may not really understand exactly their body movements and quirks of behavior. It is an eye opening and joyful experience to really, truly get to know your pet(s) on an intimate level.

1:57 Pica is an uncommon disorder in which they may want to eat many things they shouldn't be eating. Dogs naturally like to *chew* on things, and this is not pica. If your dog is chewing on things that may be harmful to them, the best treatment is often to give them official chew toys or other safe things that they will prefer to chew on. This can also help to prevent chewing on furniture or clothing. Eating poop is called coprophagia and it is unrelated to pica. Coprophagia is a common disorder in dogs. It is natural to them to be interested in butts and poop, and so it isn't much of a stretch for them to consider poop to be a treat. I don't know how to deal with it other than keeping the poop away from them and avoiding any face licks, but fortunately the dog isn't in very much danger from coprophagia since a healthy dog's gut microbiome is well-suited to handling fecal matter.

😂😂😂 Sorta embarrassed by all the info about me that can be gathered by a "butt sniff". 😂😂😂😂😂❤

I always wondered if dogs sniff butts because they can discern what the owner of the butt has been eating, and if it's been eating well, which would be valuable information in its survival.

My landlady is an extreme hoarder. She has dozens of trailers on this property stuffed full of anything and everything. My dogs must have found a big box of stuffed toys. Every time they would go adventuring they would come home with a toy. At one point there were over 20 toys in the yard. Including some squeakers.

I had a very traumatized rescue dog and she gave me a bird she had caught when I first brought her home.

I am well what time does brought a massive stick because of like rakes for a thunderstorm, and I got knocked down some branches and couldn’t get in the door like he couldn’t go through the door so I came out and threw it as hard as I can be with one anywhere I’m surprised with how we even picked it up😅

I had a Min pin that brought me a baby opossum when we were outside on the patio. It was alive and she was very gentle with it.

my mate has a covid dog and it gets bad seperation anxiety. its eaten socks when left alone a few times

Every one of those puppies are cute.

A friend stuck an Oxo cube in his shower head, when you shower the steam blocks you from smelling and you cant smell it after, but other people will and dogs will sniff you everywhere like a big bone... Too funny..

Gizmo always brings me a shoe, which is hilarious bc i wear an 11.5 and he weighs 6lbs but thats his "i gotta poo" thing

My dog always brings me dirty socks when I come through the door 😂❤

I had a Dachshund that LOVED single malt whiskey with a passion. She would pester me to no end, until I shared a few drops of what I had in my glass with her. She lived to the ripe old age of 16 years. She also insisted that food tested better on the living room rug, than on the hard kitchen floor and would NOT take a walk with anyone else than me, because she knew I had all the good routes.

My dog lays on the bed sheets (where I’ve been laying) if I don’t pull the covers up.

I read somewhere that another reason dogs circle is because their ancestors would do this before lying down to pat out bugs (cause the bugs to vacate).

My black lab rolled around on his back one day when I took him for a run, When we got back home and I could smell him he smelled like a skunk. I had to bath a 70 lb mature black lab in the tub. It was cold out side.

Here's a funny one... My cats and dogs get along VERY well. But,,, When the dogs get a bath... The cats hiss at them until the dogs reassure them that they won't hurt them. I'm sure it's because after a bath, the dogs don't smell lie themselves anymore.

My dog licks his lips to tell me he wants a treat or food. Cracks me up.

That's happened to me in supermarkets and not with dogs. I don't think it happens in every country but you know...

flies bees lizard and pillow stuffings & more.

I always thought dogs scratched the grass after pooping to cover up their business, so that predators dont pick up their scent as easily.

My reasons for doing it are weird too!

Lol, my dog would rather run out in front of a truck than lick herself down there. We've had her since she was 7 weeks old ( paper trained already I might add ) and she's 6 years old now. I have never, ever seen her do that. I usually take a warm washcloth and clean her up when need be. Anyone who doesn't love dogs has no soul!

What I can never understand is, if a dog has such a sensitive nose why does it have to get so close to the item it’s smelling.

if I ever get an apartment i'll get a dog, but how much are vet bills in canada? then there's the food i'd adopt an older dog from the shelter the one who doesnt wag his tail and sits in his cage not even looking at you, that's the one that needs love the most

lol. the first video, the dog lifted that guys ass right up.😆

We humans sometimes underestimate how stupidly powerful their sense of smell is ☺

I always thought dogs tilt their head to be able to see you better, because a dog’s vision is on the horizontal plane to see their prey better on the horizon, but humans are more vertical, hence tilting of the head.

A bunch of many possibilities as to why they do these many things that we already knew could be a possible reason.
