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.

Hi, my name is Sparky. I came to live with my master one week after Shadow passed away. My master was so lonely that she could not bare to live without a puppy so she bought me and little did she know the terror I would cause. I am a feisty and very mischievious dog and like to tick my mommy off. I steal her shoes, her coat and any bags of goodies she brings home from WalMart. She loves me but I'm afraid she may really get angry at me some day cuz I am sooooooooooo naughty!
I love to lay on my mommy's bed at night and chew rawhides until she kicks me out and then I lie beside her bedroom door and wait until she wakes up. She loves me so much but I don't know why she doesn't like my rawhides! My best friend is Dayton! He and I can play for hours. I look forward to seeing him come home on weekends when we can play again. Please vote for me on this site and who knows..........maybe I will come and torment you some day!
