Every time a dog sniffs for a place before defecation, you always say that it's hard to find a satisfactory place, and it takes several turns to start a business. What, the shit is so ceremonial?
So what does the dog's behavior mean Is it really obsessive-compulsive disorder? Or are you just crazy? Let's listen to Xiao Ming, the veterinarian.
First, to be honest, the essence of a dog is actually a compass vet. Xiaoming has always been a materialist and firmly believes that everything can be explained by science. As for the strange behavior of dogs turning around before defecation, there is a program about dogs in the United States that explains this.
Through research, an interesting rule was found. Many dogs actually stand in the north-south direction when they poop. In other words, the dog spins its body quickly first, and then distinguishes between east, west, north and south according to the generated magnetic field.
Tell me, the essence of this dog is not a compass. What else can it be? Even poop is so particular about feng shui. However, experts also said that in some cases, dogs will not be so hairy and must find the direction of the magnetic field, because if the magnetic field is affected, tied by a traction rope, or in a corner, dogs will not be obsessed with the choice of magnetic field.
Second, there is no sense of security. As we all know, in fact, when a dog defecates, it is a time when it feels insecure. You know, in the past, when dogs lived in the wild, they began to defecate and eat meat when the first dog was on sentry duty. Therefore, dogs at this time will be worried about being threatened by other emergencies and will be very upset.
Then poop is a very cautious thing for dogs, so it is necessary to turn around a few times before it, in fact, to confirm whether the nearby environment is safe, uncertain and threatening.
Other studies have found that this behavior is particularly obvious in small dogs, but less common in large dogs, which proves that they are more alert because of their small size.
This also explains, by the way, why the dog always stares at you with warm eyes when the shovel officer goes to the toilet. Actually, I am worried about your safety.
Third, clean up the scene. Generally, most dogs will do this in the wild grass, and dogs are particularly interested in defecating on the grass. Another reason why dogs go crazy in circles before defecation is to prevent grass and branches from poking themselves, and by the way, they can drive away any bugs around their bodies. It can be said that stepping on the grass or mud, and then squatting down, has extremely high requirements for the defecation environment.
Fourth, in order to defecate more smoothly, although the dog's quirks seem a bit redundant and sometimes urgent, you still have to complete this sense of ritual first, but don't say that every time the dog rotates wildly and quickly, the defecation seems to be really smoother, and you can pull it out immediately.
So another reason is that I want to throw some poop out of my intestines by centrifugal force. ............................................................................................................................ ...................................: This is also because dogs can only speed up and run after defecation in order to shorten the defecation time and reduce the risk of being threatened.
