You Asked: ‘Why Is My Dog Doing THAT?’

When She Rolls In Stinky Stuff

Is there anything more annoying? You’ve just bathed your dog and she goes out to roll around in a patch of muddy grass! The reason they do this probably doesn’t surprise you once you think about it.

When dogs roll around grass or dirt, they’re not collecting a new smell any more than they’re trying to deliver their own smell. Rolling around is a way to mark territory and tell others where she’s been. Some believe it can also be a way to cover up a smell for predators.
