Often referred to as 'scooting', this dragging is the only way a dog can, for want of a better term, scratch its bottom. There are a number of reasons for this dog behaviour, all of which are linked to a**l discomfort and/or irritation.

What's on your checklist of things for driving your dog into the country for a long walk? Boots? Check Lead? Check Water and bowl? Check For many of us that's about it other than a few snacks, perhaps. Dogs do have a habit of poking their noses into holes and gaps, though, especially when there are new smells to be investigated.

A lot of new owners struggle with how much they should feed their dogs, not least because most dogs will clear a bowl of food really quickly.

Remember that dogs originated as hunters and the instinct related to this drives the dog to eat whatever food is available, because there may be no more for some time. [ 275 more words. ]

We're all super-connected with mobile devices to the extent that many people are less connected with their surroundings than they are with social media. It sometimes seems as though people are making electronic cocoons to shield themselves from the world. So connected are we to everything internet that dogs on walks are often left to their own devices. As a result they take the initiative and lead the way. [ 264 more words. ]
