Many dogs have an interesting habit of tilting their heads to the side.
Pets often exhibit this behavior when they hear a human voice.
Many people wonder: “Why do our four-legged friends like to move their heads so funny?”
The answer is simple: it is connected with the peculiarities of animals’ hearing and vision.
The dog is trying to hear something
Dogs have excellent hearing. However, pets may have problems finding the source of a particular sound.
Turning the head helps the animal concentrate.
Perhaps the dog wants to understand what exactly is ringing/buzzing/cracking.
It is possible that the animal is trying to figure out what command the owner is saying.
The dog is trying to see someone or something
There is another possible explanation for the pet's funny behavior: perhaps the four-legged friend is trying to establish eye contact with the person.
According to one version, a dog that turns its head begins to see people's faces and the surrounding space better.
The dog attracts attention to itself
It is possible that the dog is demonstrating a desire to have fun.
Turning the head may be an attempt to let the owner know: "Pet me! Play with me!"
