Some instinctual reactions can be a source of annoyance to humans and even regarded as abnormal or perverse behavior. Pups often engage in sex play, mounting and clasping another pup even of the same sex, or a person. They are not homosexuals or sex maniacs. They are simply acting naturally. Such behavior can be inhibited by simple discipline.
Most dogs like to roll around in obnoxious and smelly materials.
Being so smell-oriented, putting a little perfume or aftershave lotion on the dog will often satisfy and therefore inhibit the dog s need to roll. Neutering will greatly reduce this drive, lessen the animal s frustration, and make him easier to control. Dogs kept in backyards often like to dig holes to alleviate boredom. But sometimes they re making themselves cool pits to lie in during the summer heat. Eating grass is a natural instinct in both dogs and cats.
