Stimulates Dogs and Keeps Them BusyIn his brand new book Mon chien est heureux my dog is happy vet and canine behaviouralist Joel Dehasse explains that dogs are genetically programmed to have a specific job and inactivity leads to behavioural issues and psychosomatic disorders. Dogs need an average 6 hours of activity each day but this may vary from 3 to 10 hours depending on the breed and the individual energy level within the breed. Dogs need different types of activities feeding hunting social vocal locomotor chewing playing intellectual etc. If the animal is not able to meet these different needs he could develop one or several behavioural problems. It is important to give your animal the opportunity to perform various activities each day. If your pet spends an hour a day barking or gnawing on the table legs he is probably lacking stimulation. If you provide a variety of structured activities it is very likely that the undesirable behaviour will diminish. If your animal spends 30 minutes to an hour a day eating instead of wolfing his food down in 5 minutes he will have met a large part of his daily activity needs and will be less likely to destroy the couch or dig holes in your backyard.
