Why does my dog do that?
1. You’ve got questions. We have the answers.
by the
AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB
WHY DOES MY
DOG DO THAT?
2. Why Does My Dog Do That? | 2
Dogs exhibit all sorts of bewildering,
funny, sometimes worrisome, quirky
behaviors.
Here are some of the most common
and mysterious canine habits, and the
reasons behind them.
3. Why Does My Dog Do That? | 3
WHY DOES MY DOG
CURL UP IN A BALL
WHEN HE SLEEPS?
It might seem like your
dog would be more
comfortable sprawled
out on the couch than
curled up in a little ball
in the corner—and he
probably would be! But
some dogs sleep curled
up nonetheless. Why?
Blame evolution!

4. Why Does My Dog Do That? | 4
Dogs in the wild will dig a nest to sleep in, and
curl up in it—especially if it’s chilly. This will
help keep them warm and also keep their most
vital organs tucked away from predators. So
there are two good reasons why dogs devel-
oped this behavior. If your dog stretches out
when he sleeps, he’s either really hot or he feels
safe and secure.
5. Why Does My Dog Do That? | 5

You might want to get your dog a small, round dog
bed that he fits in, which will make him feel cozier.
Or you could give him a blanket and let him “dig” his
own little nest.
6. Why Does My Dog Do That? | 6

WHY DOES MY DOG EAT GRASS?
First of all, despite what you may have
heard, dogs do not engage in this behav-
ior to make themselves throw up. Dogs on
well-balanced diets and in remarkably good
health regularly eat grass, and many dogs
can routinely eat grass and not vomit. Re-
search has revealed that most grasses will
not make dogs throw up, and other studies
have shown several wild canid species who
also commonly eat grass.
So the idea that dogs eat grass because they
are missing something in their diet does not
stand up under scrutiny for a variety of rea-
sons. Likewise, the notion that grass is used
by dogs needing to vomit cannot be proven.
7. Why Does My Dog Do That? | 7
Why do they eat it then? As gross
as it sounds, some dogs might just
like it—just as they savor the flavor
of dirty socks and underwear. Hey,
there’s no accounting for taste. But
be careful when you dog does this,
particularly teething puppies—ex-
cessive ingestion of leaves, sticks,
grass, and other plant material can
lead to a blockage.

WHY DOES MY DOG BEG WITH HIS EYES?
The pleading gaze of a begging dog can be irresist-
ible. And this is no accident. During his long part-
nership with man, the dog has perfected cunning
methods of exploiting the human neurosis that
associates food with affection. In prehistoric times
semi-domesticated canines first cultivated human
beings as a food provider. As the two species grew
closer, dogs modified begging behaviors to maxi-
mize results: The more pathetic a dog seemed, the
more scraps were tossed his way. Dogs have since
refined this approach into a low-risk, high-reward
hunting technique.
9. Why Does My Dog Do That? | 9
It’s a deceptive way to hunt, but don’t be fooled:
Begging is not an emotional crisis or a test of your
love. It’s what scientists might call an evolutionary
survival strategy, or what the rest of us might call a
scam. Allowing your dog to “guilt” you into over-
feeding him, or serving him a steady diet of table
scraps in a misguided show of affection, can have
harmful or even fatal results.
10. Why Does My Dog Do That? | 10

So don’t take it personally when the
little con artist under the table goes
into the old whimper-wheedle-and-
whine routine. Simply ignore it, and
find healthier ways of bonding with
your pet.
Otherwise, you risk loving your dog
to death.

WHY DOES MY DOG LICK ME?
As you might have noticed, dogs
just love to lick humans! Why all
this licking? Well, the behavior is
deeply ingrained in a dog. It’s visi-
ble early on, when puppies will lick
each other as a way of interacting
and of grooming each other. They
sometimes lick their moms as a
way of asking for some milk. When
dogs are in packs, they will lick a
dominant dog to ask for permis-
sion to eat communal food. So
sometimes your dog wants some-
thing when he licks you.
12. Why Does My Dog Do That? | 12
But there are other reasons for this
slobbery behavior. Sometimes your
dog just wants your attention.
At other times, he might lick you as
a way of playing with you (instead of
biting you, which is how he plays with
other dogs). Some researchers say that
licking is just another way that dogs
explore their environments.
One thing’s for sure: The more you
respond positively to your dog’s licks,
the more likely he is to lick you. It sure
is one way of getting your attention!

16. THE AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB
But the AKC is so much more! Here are just some of the ways we support and enrich the lives of dogs—purebreds and
mixed-breeds alike—and their families. We:
n Created the AKC Humane Fund, which supports breed
rescue activities, assists shelters that permit domestic-abuse
victims to bring their pets, and educates dog lovers about re-
sponsible dog ownership.
n Offer the Canine Good Citizen® program: A 10-step test
that certifies dogs who have good manners at home and in
their community. Over 725,000 dogs across the United States

resolutions recognizing the program’s merit and importance.
n Founded AKC Reunite, which has brought more than 400,000
lost pets back together with their owners.
n Created the AKC Canine Health Foundation, which funds
research projects and clinical studies. Since 1995 the AKC has
donated over $24 million to the CHF. (The AKC is the only
registry that incorporates health-screening results into its per-
manent dog records.)
n Conduct thousands of kennel inspections annually to mon-
itor care and conditions at kennels across the country and
ensure the integrity of the AKC registry.
n Offer the largest, most comprehensive set of DNA programs
for parentage verification and genetic identity to ensure reli-
able registration records.
n Support one of the world’s largest collections of dog-related
fine art and artifacts at the AKC Museum of the Dog, and we
have the world’s largest dog library at AKC headquarters in
New York, both of which are open to the public.
