Dogs do not produce sweat for thermoregulation. However, they do have sweat glands, called apocrine glands, associated with every hair follicle on their body. The exact function of these is not known, but it is suspected that these are meant to produce pheromones or chemical signals for communication with other dogs. These sweat secretions probably produce an individual odor signal that is recognizable by other dogs. Dog odor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
Perhaps, it's just there way of saying "Hi" to all the other dogs!

If you are worried about a cologne scent and the bad odor mixing, you could find a freshener that says it's an odor neutralizer.
