While walking outside, a dog may, for some reason, put its head on the ground.

It is difficult for a person to find an explanation for such behavior.

What are the main reasons?

Submission and consent

If you notice this strange gesture from your animal at the moment when it was playing with its relatives, then this means submission to more dominant individuals.

In this way, the dog can make it clear that he is not in the mood for a fight or a showdown. The dog can behave in the same way if you raised it.

High level of anxiety

Experts note that people sometimes forget that dogs also have a nervous system, so they are capable of experiencing various emotions, including negative ones.

Physical condition
