Certain behaviors displayed by dogs can leave their owners baffled and confused. Even if you have shared your life and home with a pet dog, your pet may display certain body language and social cues that don’t make any sense. Here are some canine behaviors deciphered:

Tail-chasing

Many dogs just love chasing their tails; it’s a fun way to exercise and burn excess energy. But persistent tail-chasing can be an important indicator of flea allergy dermatitis. Dogs with anal gland problems may also display the behavior. It may also be an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Licking humans

Licking their humans is a dog’s way of showing affection, or it could possibly be an attention-seeking behavior. Some experts also believe that the behavior is also used as a sensory tool to investigate something. It’s actually a social behavior that puppies learn when they are still with their mother and other littermates.

If you suspect that your dog has a medical condition, you should speak to your veterinarian Moore, OK.
