Dog Blog

You know that dogs roll over on their backs when they meet each other because they are surrendering, right? If you don't know that, that's good because it's not true. Let me tell you what is. Dogs roll over on their backs when they meet so it's harder for the other dog to bite the back of their neck. Also the dog is in a good position to spring up and bite the underside of the other dog's neck. It would make sense that the smaller dog would roll over on its back but actually the size doesn't matter... But you'd be happy to know that 90% of dogs are defensive, 10% offensive and 0% submissive or surrendering. Now you know your dog's not always surrendering all the time.

  2. I think it's really cool how, when a dog meets a dog they have never seen before, it goes into defense mode.
