Dogs can't tell us what's wrong.
But behaviour gives us clues.

Tap a question to see the most common answer.

MOST COMMON

Normal dog behaviour

Many healthy dogs graze on grass now and then, often choosing fresh young blades. They may like the taste and texture. When the dog is bright, eating well and not vomiting, it is often just something dogs do.

MOST COMMON

Self-soothing or habit

Many dogs lick their paws to wind down, a bit like a person fidgeting. When it happens mostly in calm moments and the skin looks normal, it may simply be a habit.

MOST COMMON

Alert barking at sights and sounds

Many dogs bark at whatever passes the window or the fence: people, dogs, delivery vans, cats. It can feel like too much to you while your dog is doing a job it finds rewarding. The pattern often clusters at busy times of day.

MOST COMMON

Attachment and habit

Dogs are social and many simply prefer to be in the same room as you. Some breeds were bred to work close to people all day. If this has been the case since the beginning, it may just be who your dog is.

Each answer comes with what to try, common mistakes and what to watch.
