What is it with dogs peeking in the bathroom while your doing business?

Have you had this problem before: Yes

Oh, the classic bathroom invasion by our furry friends! It's like they have an unwritten rule that privacy is overrated. I swear, my dog acts like he's auditioning for a role in a canine spy movie every time I'm in there.

And speaking of dogs and bathroom shenanigans, did you catch that episode of Supernatural? There's this skinwalker who goes all Peeping Tom after transforming into a dog. Talk about unexpected plot twists! It turned out the guy-slash-dog was harboring some serious feelings for the woman who thought she adopted him as a furry friend.

And then there's that Dean Winchester moment. He takes a potion, starts understanding dog language, and just when we're about to uncover the deep, philosophical reasons for dogs' existence, bam, the magic fades. Classic Supernatural move! It's like the universe conspiring to keep us from unlocking the mysteries of the doggy mind. Maybe there's a secret canine council plotting to keep us humans in the dark about their grand purpose on Earth. Who knows? The mysteries of the bathroom and doggy wisdom the universe's best-kept secrets!

This is a leftover instinct from being a wild animal, actually. When wild wolves do their business it usually leaves them in a very vulnerable position, so they would have a couple of other pack mates on standby nearby to keep a lookout. Your dog knows you’re doing your business, they’re just following the instinct that says you’re in a vulnerable place and they want to help make sure it all goes smoothly.

They're watching your back... Pooping is a vulnerable position for dogs. They tend to watch each other and their surroundings while they or some other dog in their pack poops to stay aware for potential threats. This is the same reason dogs tend to watch you while they poop. They will take a dump and eyeball you the entire time because you're their lookout. If you see trouble and flinch, then they know they need to hurry up and prepare for whatever is coming at them. So they return the favor to you and try to watch your back while you take a dump.

Good to know

I had a cat that would scratch and pound on the door until I let her in. Then she’d jump on the counter and stare into my eyes. She only ever did it to me so I don’t know the significance, but it was kinda creepy at first lol.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

My pup hated being alone, so I always took him with me when I was showering, I was playing with him while I was showering, he grew to love water and showers.

He lives with my mom now and my mom often thanks me for him loving to bathe.

Since he was freely allowed anywhere I was at, he never had to peek.

[Rosietheriveter]

That’s so sweet unfortunately my dog is two small for the bath

[Dinklex3]

I took this when I was using the bathroom in 2020. Featuring; My roommate’s dogs. I had zero privacy with these cuties, they’d just bust in and make themselves comfortable.

I don't know. They probably just want love and attention whenever they can get it. Especially when we leave and come back from work.

[Rosietheriveter]

Wow such lovely golden retrievers

[Beckybooboo]

Dogs are perverts! They watch you go to the bathroom, at times eat other dog’s, you know what, smell places on a person’s body that I wouldn’t let anybody sniff unless he at least bought me dinner and do it all without having a guilty conscience. They basically look at you with a smile. If they were human, there wouldn’t be one of those evil bastards that haven’t done time!

[Rosietheriveter]

When a person is a pervert they are sometimes called a dog.

[Rosietheriveter]

It came from a verse in the Bible I believe

[Rosietheriveter]

Now what was it again…

[YesterdaysChild]

Maybe they are wanting to sniff your butt as dogs do. There was once a meeting of all the dogs in the world and they all hung their assholes on a hook by the front door as they went in. Then there was a fire and they all ran out to escape the flames and grabbed an asshole from a hook. Now they roam around smelling other dog's assholes to see if it is theirs.

[Kori1236]

Dogs are pack animals when they’re outside and pooping or peeing they’re vulnerable. So they make eye contact and rely on their owners to watch out for threats. And return the favour by standing guard and watch when you’re in the washroom. If you’re taking a particularly long time they might peek their heads in to be like all good there bud need a suppository?

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Our dogs do that but I don't see that as problem.

Usually, they want something and looking around looking for someone to look after their needs.

[Rosietheriveter]

I like to teach my puppy to be polite and wait until I get out of the shower

[Rei13]

My cats follow me into the bathroom when I do my business and they will cry at the door if I lock them out. They just want to be near you that’s all

[AviatorTom]

My dog often comes in when I'm in the bathroom doing my business. Dogs are curious, and the unusual sounds and smells attract them. Once my dog notices what's happening, she just leaves.

[FreyaRed]

Dogs try to understand where human's poop and pee disappears and why they can't sniff on it. Silly humans

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yeah, my Maltese, Marilynn Monroe, sometimes tries to peak in at me in the bathroom. I got to watch because she will have accidents anywhere.

[Fireguy17]

they have to see what they are missing, could be food treats, a captive audience to pet me, anything.
My cat sit there and meows, so I open the door, she will look and the toddle off.
Go figure.

[RavVid]

My cat would see me go and decide he should go to. He is very bonded to me but I moved the litter.

[ChicoFromThe305]

It's like they know you don't want them staring lol

[Anonymous]

You watch him while he goes when you take him for a walk... what's the problem? 😆

[purplepoppy]

They want to roll in it.

[Joker_]

they're watching your back

[Avicenna]

They wonder what their owner is doing

[LavLavLuv]

I don’t have a dog…👁️👃👁️

[Rosietheriveter]

Do you have a cat?

[LavLavLuv]

I do

[Rosietheriveter]

I used to have a rescue cat before she passed away of old age.

[Drumlin2001]

I have this with my toddelrs

[noohair]

Dogs work on smell, they are just checking it out.

[Rosietheriveter]

That makes sense

[Iron_Man]

I have no idea

[RedInnocent68]

Cats too…

[In_Trance]

Mine doesn't do that

[Tstrbrainer]

Peeping toms

[fuddly]
