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.
This behavior can be noticed when loud and incomprehensible sounds are heard.
Physical condition
The most dangerous reason for strange behavior is the presence of some physiological problem. In this case, the animal should not be left without examination by a specialist.
