Pregnancy hormones - dogs know I'm in the building?

[skihorse]

I have a question for the doggie experts.

Wednesday night when I got home from work my bf was in the park with the dogs.

I entered the building via an electric gate at the back of the building. I parked my car 2 floors underground. I took the lift from minus 2 directly up to the 6th floor and walked to the flat.

My bf said the minute the dogs got in to the lobby they went "mental" - they ran over to the lift I went up in and sniffed at the doors.

He took them up in the other lift and got them up to the 6th floor and they just went crackers racing up to the front door. They knew I was home, this is not the first time they've done this.

Am I giving off mega-preggo hormones? Are they really aware I'm in the building even though I've not visited the lobby and the lift doors didn't open at the lobby?

Now that is a new business opportunity stuff clearblue just let my labrador have a sniff!
dogs tell if I am pregnant

I can't verify the link just found it on google

Entirely possible, I should think. A dog's sense of smell is many times more sensitive than ours, and they are able to sniff out tumours, so why not HCG too? They are also able to signal when a person is in danger of going into a diabetic coma or an epileptic seizure.

Yeh I know they will know I'm pregnant... but to know I'm in the building the minute they walk in to the lobby and I've not been in the lobby for 12 hours?

dogs never cease to amaze me.

I was training an assistance dog and he was quite happily putting his front legs onto my lap to put on and take off a hat. However his new wheelchair owner contacted us to say that he just would not do it for her. So we went back to basic training, the dog would do it to me and other people but not her new owner. We decided to leave it and taught her to put her feet onto the back of the owners chair and remove her hat from there.

A few weeks later we were told that the owner had a tumour in her thigh just where the dog would have stood.

Awesome.
