Dogs love exploring and that probably means they\u2019ve rolled in horrible-smelling things before now! While you\u2019re out, enjoying nature, your dog may be rolling in a pile of fox poo \u2013 and believe me \u2013 that is no fun to try and scrub off. If you spot them about to roll, call your dog in a high pitched, excited tone.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-id=\"271118\">Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/why-are-some-dogs-more-cuddly-than-others\/\">Why are some dogs more cuddly than others?<\/a><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"do-dogs-enjoy-nature\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_dogs_enjoy_nature\"><\/span>Do dogs enjoy nature?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dogs have many activities that make them happy and enjoy doing.

Many dogs and puppies resort to wood as a chew toy, especially if you play fetch with sticks.\u00a0 If not taught which objects are appropriate toys or treats, some may continue to find other objects to chew on, like your furniture, clothes, or hands. Dogs also chew to entertain themselves.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"do-dogs-actually-love-their-owners\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_dogs_actually_love_their_owners\"><\/span>Do dogs actually love their owners?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The truth? Dogs actually love physical affection and often seek it out from their favorite people. We\u2019re not saying you should pick up your dog and give it a super tight bear hug.
