Here's what you need to know to give your dog a long and satisfying life
The problem with this statement is that it gives the impression that love is a one-way street, and our dogs love us no matter who we are, what we do, or how poorly we treat them. Actually, no:A soft bed and nutritious and tasty food are essential basics. But as I argue in my book, dogs need a lot more from us. Dogs rely on us for intellectual and emotional stimulation and social support. To really give our dogs what they need, we must understand who they are.
To do this, Bekoff says, we must become ethologists-in-training. All of us can strive to become more observant of our dogs’ behavior and can make a concerted effort to learn about the natural history, biology, and behavior of our best friends. We need to try to see the world from a dog’s perspective so that we can provide them with an interesting and meaningful life.
As a small example, we may think of a dog walk as providing physical exercise to keep our dogs fit and slim. But dogs also need to be able to exercise their senses, particularly their sense of smell. On average, a dog will spend about one-third of her time sniffing, if given the choice. So we might consider making about one-third of each dog walk about letting our friend explore with his or her nose.
