WHY DO DOGS LOVE MUD?

Rolling in the mud is probably one behavior which dogs do not share with humans. You cannot possibly separate dogs and dog puddles, especially when out on walks. This is probably the reason why humans always wonder why do dogs love mud at all. Rolling in the mud leads to a bath eventually which is a hassle for both the guardian as well as the pup unless the pup is a bath lover.

There are a wide variety of reasons behind your dog exhibiting such behavior. Some experts are of the opinion that dogs have a genetic programming to love mud. Your dog may roll in the mud because he likes it or it maybe because he is trying to cover his own smell to avoid danger. However, this does not indicate that every time your dog rolls in the mud, he is sensing the presence of danger nearby. Whatever be the reasons behind why do dogs love mud, in this article, each and every reason will be uncovered and you will also know how you can correct this behavior.

Some dog guardians prefer to punish their pup for exhibiting this behavior. This should be strictly prevented at all costs.
