Clearly we have some exhibitionist dogs here!
I would suspect that the dogs are enjoying themselves. Just like some dogs figure out how to open cabinet doors, some dogs are bound to figure out how to "pleasure" themselves. In all seriousness, it sounds like it might be an x-rated self-calming ritual. That would explain why it's in front of company. Do strangers make him nervous? Maybe you just need to try the old standbys to de-stress your dog: exercise, mental stimulation, etc.
As I've said, Thor is almost always a perfect gentleman, but his manhood does perk up occasionally, especially after a nap. I wonder if he's dreaming of an entire basket of white bears! |
