A Closer Look at Canine Nose Prints
Each dog’s nose print has a distinct pattern of ridges and creases. These can be used to accurately identify them, much like a fingerprint does for humans.
Some organizations and kennel clubs use nose prints for registering pets. This method can be as reliable as microchipping for pet identification.
Unlike microchips, which require a scanner, nose prints can be taken with a simple ink pad and paper or even a digital photo. It’s a non-invasive way to ensure your pet’s identity is secure!
Next time you look at your dog, remember their nose isn’t just for sniffing out treats—it’s their very own biometric ID! Have you ever noticed the unique patterns on your dog’s nose?
Why do dog’s zigzag?
Ever wondered why your dog zigzags instead of walking in a straight line? It’s all part of their natural exploratory behavior! Unlike humans, dogs prefer to follow scents and sights that catch their interest.
When out for a walk, dogs are not just moving from point A to B—they are reading the environment through their powerful senses. Each zigzag brings them closer to intriguing smells or potential “friends.”
Their travel pattern echoes their wild ancestors’ ways of tracking and hunting, where moving in straight lines is less common. This meandering path allows them to cover more area and pick up as much information as possible.
Next time you’re out with your furry friend, let them lead the way on their sniff-filled adventure. It’s their natural way of navigating and enjoying the world!

Having issues with your reactive dog? Did you know that obedience training is not always the answer?

If you didn’t get it the first time, this video is about personal space and the discussion surrounding this topic is usually complete BS. I’m not sure why every interaction with our dogs has to be viewed as a power struggle. This dog approaches the person for comfort (they are active witnesses to the other dog being comforted). There isn’t anything nefarious or underhanded about what this dog is doing 🙄 A dog that is comfortable with you isn’t going to have a sense of personal space. They don’t understand that their standing too close is an invasion on your bodily autonomy. Have you seen dogs interact? They will literally sit on top of each other with no malicious intent. Can we please stop creating content for contents sake? #dogs #dogsofinstagram #dogsdoingthings #wtfmemes #dogscience

This is ritualized aggression or ritualized behaviour. They are exaggerated forms of behaviour used in tense situations. I would definitely step in with this one simply because this behaviour is a mark of tension and with the competing signals that are not clear cut, it could lead to a fight. #dogs #dogbehaviour #dogtrainer #dogslife
