What we think of as a disgusting habit, a dog would consider it to be normal. Take for example a dog rolling in something really smelly, that act, if done by wild animal, is to disguise their scent from their prey during a hunt. It is merely a throw back to a dog's wild ancestors. Eating cat poop is one of the most yucky habits that us dog owners sometimes encounter. If they find it in the cat box, it is referred to "kitty roca." It is no more disgusting than people eating so much food that they have to resort to bariatric surgery to fix their bodies.
Of course many habits are brought about the dog's boredom at being confined. Digging holes or chewing through a fence is common for a dog confined to a backyard most of their lives. Dogs kept in the house often resort to chewing on anything and everything to combat boredom.
The habits a dog has is the result of either genetically wired in or the result of human related abuse or neglect.
