1 Answer

Answer :

answer:If you watch closely, and it has hurt enough, you will most likely see small signs of discomfort. Some dogs will tongue-flick in response to sudden pain, shake themselves, or yawn. The “zoomies” actually work to relieve stress that’s why a dog who just had a bath will often gallop around the entire house, dripping wet. From your dog’s point of view, resuming zooming makes perfect sense – it feels good! EDIT: I wrote a poem for you: Resuming zooming… …less… …stress.
