What Is Corn Cobbing?
If you don't have a dog, you might be wondering — what exactly is corn cobbing anyway? And why do dogs do it?
Corn cobbing, or nibbling, is caused by several different reasons. The first is their natural instinct to herd. Dogs might nibbling or use light bites to get people or other animals to move.
Some dogs nibble out of boredom or stress. If your dog has a lot of stress or anxiety, they might nibble to let that energy out. There are lots of things that can trigger that stress; whether it's a change in their routine, loud noises, or separation from their owners. If that's the case, nibbling or corn cobbling is a way to alleviate those feelings.
Dogs also corn cob as a compulsive behavior when they're feeling anxious or frustrated. It also might be a sign of underlying medical issues. Finally, dogs might corn cob when they're teething or having mouth issues. It can also be the way they explore.
Whatever the reason, you can manage the corn cobbin' with changes to your dog's sleep or exercise routine. It's not all bad, however. Corn cobbin' is certainly adorable. And it's not so bad for the corn cobbee too.
