Why do dogs like to roll on the ground? I believe that many dog owners want to know. A question. After helping them take a bath, or taking them for a walk, some dogs often like to roll on the grass or mud and make a mess, which makes many parents a big headache. So what is the reason why they often roll on the ground? Let’s analyze it.
Everyone knows that dogs’ senses can be up to 1 million times higher than those of humans. Recently, the concept of fragrance and odor in our stupid senses may be very different for dogs. Childish and simple. We are used to bathing dogs to remove dirt and odors from their bodies. We use various shampoos or hair conditioners to make the dog's coat look the way we require, bright and smell good. These are all It is to satisfy our aesthetic taste. Naturally, dogs will be happy when they hear others praising their beauty. However, bathing and scenting themselves are not out of the dog’s conscience. When it is stained with strange things, It will feel uncomfortable after changing the taste, and instinctively let itself return to the original taste as much as possible.
In the past, dogs also lived together with other wild animals, and rolling on the ground or even being contaminated with the feces of other animals was probably to bring this smell to the center of the dog group, so that the companions could understand the surroundings. There is prey, or it may be using mud to cover up its own scent to protect itself.
Why dogs like to roll on the ground may be because of the remaining habits from the past. The purpose is to cover up the smell on the body and make it safer for itself.
