| Rolling around... Tron is 9.5 months. Every once in awhile... he rolls around outside like he's trying to smash bugs on the ground or something. Now it seems like he does it every time he goes out! The other day... it was right on top of another dog's "pile". Is this normal? How can I get him to stop? |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | All of mine will roll in "dog perfume"...the smellier....the better. In the wild dogs try to hide their own scent....so they could sneak up on prey undected. As far as stopping it....I try to find the poop or dead animal first. It's a natural behavior for them and I wouldn't punish them for something that is instinctive.

| Glad to hear it's "semi" normal. He didn't get punished... just a nice scrub in the tub! (and a good scrub to his cloth harness). Thanks! |
