Why does my dog do this

[BumpowderSneezeonAndSnot]

She's a very strange mongrel who loves a bum scratch only when you scratch her bum she automatically sticks her nose up her backside and furiously sniffs it while hopping in circles til she falls over. Every time.

Can anyone explain why she does this?

Can you explain why you touch your dog's arse?

Does she needs her anal glands emptied?

I dont and not entirely sure how you came to that conclusion I scratch her rump by the tail/back legs.

No other signs of needing her anal glands emptying tbh it seems to be when she's excited or having fun her go to is to sniff herself

Your post stated you scratched her bum did it not?

Bum troll

I'm afraid I read it as you scratching her arse too!

Out of interest, how do you know if they need their anal glands emptying? Never heard of that (proud new dog owner here!)

Since when has bum meant anus?!

One of the signs is they lick their bits a lot, more than normal, another is when they sit down they leave a smelly greasy mark behind

Since when has bum meant anus?!

umm, forever?

😄. Sorry op. I too am glad you’re not scratching your dogs bum.

So what do you call this then if not a butt scratch?!

Agree with the glands.

I call it bum scratch too. My dogs love them.

Great photo OP. My Lab loves a botty rub. Will reverse into us so we can oblige. Funnily enough, our vet confirmed this by asking if she had a preference for a botty rub or neck rub. It is definitely a dog thing!

I'll keep an eye on her then. She's not scooting, obsessively licking or leaking.

Alas that's not my dog a quick Google found the picture

to those thinking you would be scratching your dog's actual butt hole

I would say probably anal glands too

My dog has loved botty rubs all her life.....many, many years before her anal glands needed expressing!

Thats a rump scratch. Bum for dog makes me think arsehole and right next to it.

No idea about why though.

Could be skin irritation. Not all dogs are obvious about their glands needing doing. DDog1 will tell you. DDog2 will act like nothing is wrong and you wouldn't know at all.... his are often the fullest and worst. Get her checked
