Pet Tip
Dog is a Crotch Sniffer – Pet tip 245
Most dog owners are aware that dog noses are extremely sensitive. This is due to the quantity of olfactory or ‘smell’ receptors in a dog’s nose. Whereas humans have around five million olfactory receptors, dogs have two hundred and twenty million. This makes their noses exponentially more sensitive than a human’s. Most times a dog’s sensitive nose works to our benefit. All kinds of dogs are used as service dogs to help humans find missing people, sniff out explosives, drugs etc. They can smell people coming from quite a distance and alert us to their presence. There are some embarrassing occasions however, when a dog’s nose is just too sensitive from our human perspective. Most notably this occurs when dogs try to sniff humans in their private areas.
This behaviour is a common one in dogs and equally common is the fact that it upsets most dog owners. The reason some dogs sniff at a human’s private parts is the same reason they sniff the private parts of other dogs. We know that when they smell other dogs in this way they can tell the sex, rank (is the dog more dominant or submissive) age and other information about the dog.

It is his belief if it is 7 AM and he is up, everyone else should be too and he will do whatever it takes to ensure this, including but not limited to the wet cold nose in the face trick, nibbling on your chin, and if all else fails pulling the blankets right off of you. He will only eat his food if it has cottage cheese in it, yes I admit that is solely my own fault. He loves to play with other dogs from a distance, if they get to close he becomes anti-social. He will lay directly in front of the exit of any room, just to make sure you can't sneak out and leave him behind. He can be quite manipulative at times. His best friends are two cats, whom he is more than happy to allow to groom him and play tag ( yes...he runs from them too), he would never admit this though. When you get home from a long day at work, he insists on telling you all about his day, through a series of woos and grumbles. All in all he is a pretty amazing dog that 100 words can't even begin to describe!!!
