Dog Behavior Explained: What Your Dog Is Trying to Tell You

Dogs may be humans’ best friends. But they’re not always great at communication. And a lot of things your dog might do can seem weird or strange. So here’s a list of common dog behavior explained in simple terms…

Eating Tissue Paper

If your dog regularly eats tissue or toilet paper or anything else that isn’t food, it could be a sign that they’re suffering from a compulsive disorder called pica. It’s worth watching out for this behavior and taking them to a vet if it gets serious.

Whimpering While Asleep

If your dog whimpers or kicks while they’re asleep, don’t panic. This is just a sign that they’re dreaming normally. They’re probably not having a nightmare, and it’s not a good idea to wake them up as they’ll end up being disoriented and could bite you out of surprise.

Chewing Their Feet

If your dog is chewing their feet, it could be a sign that they have a food sensitivity that’s manifesting in an unusual way.

There are plenty of food options available for dogs with weak tummies, and it’s worth investigating these before you have to clean up after some unfortunate bowel movements.

Sneezing While Playing

Don’t worry, your dog isn’t allergic to themselves. Sneezing while playing is basically a dog’s way of expressing their happiness and excitement. It’s totally normal behavior, and it means you’re doing a good job caring for your pet.
