Dogs naturally sniff people's crotches to gather information on age, sex, and mood via pheromones.
Dogs sniff people's crotches as a natural behavior driven by their acute sense of smell, which is 10,000 times more sensitive than humans. This sniffing helps dogs gather information, such as age, sex, and mood, from pheromones released by sweat glands in those areas. The American Kennel Club advises against trying to curb this instinctive behavior, as it is normal for dogs to use their noses to learn about new people.
