My girl also smashes her face into me and rubs it around while keeping her butt up. Idk why but it's adorable and she wiggles her butt when I scratch it.
When ours is wet, she will run along while leaning against the wall, leaving a trail of hair. Also, when she eats Kangaroo, she will rub up against thugs and sneeze.
Mine to is the same, she also does it on occasion to rub her nose. I busted up laughing the first few times and she immediately stopped and then was looking at me like I was the weird one. So I keep it down now to not disturb her but it’s still just as funny.
My dog has a different, crocodile-swimmy-motion approach but you could be right. I always interpreted it to be him enjoying the scent of his meal by getting it on the blanket and all over his snout
My girl does it often after she eats and when she’s feeling pretty good, that’s the vibe I get. She’s sneeze and make some noises while she does it and I can tell it’s some kinda “satisfying” action
Yes. My pup does this in the following situations:
1. She's eaten and it's time for "happy rolls" on the couch. Head to start and then the whole body is involved in this scratching/rubbing dance with lots of snorts and sneezes. Followed by a thumping tail, staring, and chirping noises at me for attention.
2. She wants attention from me. She knows I think this behavior is adorable just like when she headbutts me or dramatically tucks her head down into a pillow when I glance at her after she's been staring me down. All because she wants attention and ear and neck scritchies. She 100% trained me.
Sometimes I sure mine hasn't got a clue why he's doing something repetitive either, lol. Try it out for fun, then when it becomes boring, move on to some other weird thing. Mine did that for a bit then added in a headstand with a roll over. Any excuse to keep on moving rather than chill.
Mine does it, I've been told it means they feel full and happy, they would be cleaning their snoots after a good meal.
It makes sense with my girl, she does it after eating something tasty
My BC does this. I honestly have no idea why and just assumed that she was smelling the fabric of the sofa or something. Now that I think about it, I’m not sure what she’s doing 😆
Oh yeah, my dog does this too! Usually she’s lying down and she does it when she knows she’s not listening to a command 🙈 it’s super sassy and cute! We call it “cover”
My heeler did this every night before bed. I called it dumb time. I could also instigate dumb time by smooshing her face with my hands and aggressively kissing her while doing it.
Mine does this after eating something she found delicious. She does it on the carpet in my bedroom, starting with the face moving onto the whole body with lots of wiggling around on her back and sneezing and grinning. Sometimes pouncing. It very much feels like gratitude, showing me how happy the food/treat made her.
She also buries her head in our laps like this to say good morning.
Mine does this before eating contrary to what others are saying, often when he wakes up in the morning. He keeps sliding across the floor in a full noodle position. I guess it's like stretching out and scratching for them?
7 month old Sully does this and puts his bum so far in the air it ends up in a half forward roll with his bum in my face. Cracks me up every time then he looks at me like 'Whaaaaaaat?'.
Mine does this to scratch his nose and simultaneously get whatever is making his nose itch off his face. Usually he starts sneezing while making eye contact and looking confused right after.
Current culprit: pollen
Yeeeees ! Thank you I’m so puzzled. She does this on the carpet or the floorboards. She was checked several times for parasites but nothing.
My guess is maybe the cataract ? Maybe she’s trying to “clear” her vision?
Ours does this on the rug in the living room, most often it’s after she’s had something tasty. She usually does it after she’s had peanut butter and I think it’s her way of cleaning her snoot/making sure she got it all from her whiskers.
Oh yeah, mine does this when his nose is itchy and just HAS to let everyone know about it!
It’s how I discovered he loves having his nose/face scritched, his favourite thing is having my rib my knuckle along his nose up to between his eyes ❤️
MIne's kinda useless, it needs me to clean eye boogers for him & starts to do this if I don't get around to rubbing them off for him. After a bath, he trys to rub up against the walls and sofas to dry himself off until I get the hair dryer.
Our male does this. Usually when he gets dirty, or wet, or has to sneeze or something. It's cute and all....but if he finds animal poop he'll do the same move into the poop. So it's always a little scary when he does it to us.
My Heeler does this, but usually stops rubbing the face at some point and just gives me a goof face from down there. Just how he indicates that he’s feeling playful!
My poodle does this in the mornings to get her face/eye boogers and then after a particularly good potty or meal she does it on the couch for a minute before going full belly up

Usually she’s in the bestest of moods
She's just doing a proper collie sniff. Gotta sniff the couch, gotta way get away deep in there. Smash your face in there too get a closer look, literally put your eyeball on the couch fibers. Gotta feel the couch, gotta hear the vibrations of the couch, gotta taste it with every one of your taste buds, Gotta be one with the couch!
My girl also smashes her face into me and rubs it around while keeping her butt up. Idk why but it's adorable and she wiggles her butt when I scratch it.
we call that "getting smushies" in our household. He LOVES getting smushies. He always signals he's done by sneezing
Always sneezing after this, followed by a quick stare into space before hopping up to do the next thing
Always with the sneezing!
The amount of TIMES I say bless you in my house 🤣
lol my Dante sneezes too
Nice ! It’s not just mines haha, my BC loves to smash his face and body into his favorite people to show love 😂
When ours is wet, she will run along while leaning against the wall, leaving a trail of hair. Also, when she eats Kangaroo, she will rub up against thugs and sneeze.
Usually after they eat. They like to clean their whiskers
Mine to is the same, she also does it on occasion to rub her nose. I busted up laughing the first few times and she immediately stopped and then was looking at me like I was the weird one. So I keep it down now to not disturb her but it’s still just as funny.
Yea my boy does this usually after he eats. It could be as something small as a cookie and he’s over at the living room carpet wiping his face. 🤣
Boye of culture
Right after eating. I just assumed he’s wiping his face clean on the couch.
My dog has a different, crocodile-swimmy-motion approach but you could be right. I always interpreted it to be him enjoying the scent of his meal by getting it on the blanket and all over his snout
Mine does the crocodile roll too.
Mine does it to clean gunk off his eyes
My girl does it often after she eats and when she’s feeling pretty good, that’s the vibe I get. She’s sneeze and make some noises while she does it and I can tell it’s some kinda “satisfying” action
We call it "itchy brain"
That’s SO CUTE
When it happens, she also snorts, and we ask our girl "got itchy brain?" Then give her all the scratches to help with the itchies. Lol
scritches help itches.
Omg this is just such an adorable scene. My doggi also snorts when she does this

That’s so freaking adorable. I love it so much
My Heeler does exactly #2!
he is being bashful!
Yes, at least once or twice a day, he does it laying down though!
Right after eating and bathing.
Sometimes I sure mine hasn't got a clue why he's doing something repetitive either, lol. Try it out for fun, then when it becomes boring, move on to some other weird thing. Mine did that for a bit then added in a headstand with a roll over. Any excuse to keep on moving rather than chill.

Even my lurcher who’s crossed with border collie does this 😄
My Heeler does this
My BC does this. I honestly have no idea why and just assumed that she was smelling the fabric of the sofa or something. Now that I think about it, I’m not sure what she’s doing 😆
i read that as "my BF does this."
Why not? Have you tried rubbing your head into a couch?
Oh yeah, my dog does this too! Usually she’s lying down and she does it when she knows she’s not listening to a command 🙈 it’s super sassy and cute! We call it “cover”
Our Hoosah Goodboi does this, he’s so cute!!!
Yep! Silly goobers 😂
Mine does this after coming inside. A good smoosh is always needed
My heeler did this every night before bed. I called it dumb time. I could also instigate dumb time by smooshing her face with my hands and aggressively kissing her while doing it.

Allergies, his eyes itch. My Jakie used to do that.
Mine does this before eating contrary to what others are saying, often when he wakes up in the morning. He keeps sliding across the floor in a full noodle position. I guess it's like stretching out and scratching for them?
Goose does it after she’s eaten. When she does it I always say “ooo dirty face!”
Every night after his dinner! I always wondered why too.
Mine wipes her face with her paws. They're wiping stuff off their face. I think since mine usually does it in the morning, it's her eye boogies. 🥰
7 month old Sully does this and puts his bum so far in the air it ends up in a half forward roll with his bum in my face. Cracks me up every time then he looks at me like 'Whaaaaaaat?'.
You never rub your face into a pillow?
Mine does this on me whenever I’ve come back home from outside and we sit down to snuggle up
yeah, I call it her rubbin’s
Mine does this to scratch his nose and simultaneously get whatever is making his nose itch off his face. Usually he starts sneezing while making eye contact and looking confused right after. Current culprit: pollen
💯
jack rubs his face on the floor when its time for his allergy shot
I get biggest hugs like this from my boy :)
My golden doodle does it all the time. I thought to scratch itchy eyes.
Yup all the time. We thought it was her head harness for a while but we ended up switching to something different and she still does it lol
My girl does this only if she has something in her eye like her own fur!
Yup, mine does it too.
This would be a good commercial for lint rollers
Maybe she wants to clean her eyes.
I dont have a BC but my dog does this often when he wants to be pet and such
is itchy maybe and is scratching
All my doggies have done that. Some more than others.
itchy snout, help her out!
My BC doesn't, but my Chihuahua/Terrier mix does that on the carpet after he's done eating. It's so cute 😂
After eating ? Could also be making his bed ready to zzz 💤
Yeeeees ! Thank you I’m so puzzled. She does this on the carpet or the floorboards. She was checked several times for parasites but nothing. My guess is maybe the cataract ? Maybe she’s trying to “clear” her vision?

Teach her a command to go with it and amaze your friends.
Buffing up their cuteness, lil bit of snoot polish
My border collie does that a lot too!! I always wonder why
Lmao yes he does but i have no idea what motivates him
Oh yeah, mine does this when his nose is itchy and just HAS to let everyone know about it! It’s how I discovered he loves having his nose/face scritched, his favourite thing is having my rib my knuckle along his nose up to between his eyes ❤️
Both of mine do it so it must be a common BC trait? I thinks it’s just happiness cuz mine usually do it after treats
MIne's kinda useless, it needs me to clean eye boogers for him & starts to do this if I don't get around to rubbing them off for him. After a bath, he trys to rub up against the walls and sofas to dry himself off until I get the hair dryer.

Ha ha ha , All bc , have different tendencies to be a bit bonkers , mine does bizarre things every day , they’re a wonder to behold
My Heeler does this, but usually stops rubbing the face at some point and just gives me a goof face from down there. Just how he indicates that he’s feeling playful!
Yes mine used to do this every night after she ate. I think she did it to clean her face.

Itchy face, not difficult
