Dogs are the best gift humans ever gave themselves. When early man took the friendly and docile wolf pups, bred them, and developed dogs, we made our best friends. Some dogs smell cancer. I loved my dogs and on walks the leash was loose and I let themselves smell to their hearts content.

@jimba6486 Год назад

As a husky owner, I can verify my dogs nose in a continuous “ON” state. The scent of objects clearly linger around him. Dogs don’t smell like we do. I always refer to my dogs nose as a little brain. That nose has a personality of its own. I don’t walk my dog.I take him out for smelling. Smelling makes him tired and takes a lot of mental energy. It is difficult to make this working dog physically tired

@Reloaded2111 Год назад

Dogs actually can tell time. They can measure the strength of your scent when you come home, so they start to wait for your arrival based on that.

@calvinjackson5306 Год назад

Not exactly telling time, i leave my house frequently for different reasons. So would be useless in telling time in my situation

@dredubz5825 Год назад

My dog is my best friend ❤ I let him choose our walking route each day and let him sniff as much as he wants. Sniffing is his favourite thing after food. The walk can take a long time, but my dog needs this. If he doesn’t get enough sniffing in each day, he gets very anxious and bored. This style of walking has also strengthened our relationship and bond tremendously.

I used to think my dog should be able to walk in my tempo but slightly behind. She was so active so I've never achieved that. But I've become a faster and more agile walker, she is always a good inspiration... Now that I kind of follow her and wait for her sniffing, I really feel better during our walks, and feel she's checking on me more often. We usually have rotten food or stray animals' poop on streets, so I am reluctant to let her have the time she likes.. That was a great video which made me all emotional on my commute, Just by listening...

Well said. Yes, makes me mad seeing people pull their dog away from smelling. Maybe we should give these people a donut and every time they go to take a bite, we pull it away. Fortunately, I live in the country and my dog has been on a leash for a total of about 6 minutes in the past 4 years. She is free to be as dog as a dog can be. Every day I have her take me for a walk. The command is "I follow you" and then she takes over and leads me to wherever she wants to go. It is a fascinating experience.

How I developed to walk my dog is to have a 6ft leach and I take him to the park and let’s him run as far as he can. If he stops in sniffs something, I stop and let him sniff. If we’re coming across another dog, as long as it’s okay with the owner, I let him hang out for a bit. Occasionally we get frowned upon by some dog owners that seem to think him having the freedom to run around and approach other dogs is not how your suppose to let your dogs be. Now to each his own and I understand needing to have some discipline and training, but I’ve gotten told this once and have never forgotten it. Someone whose dad was a dog trainer explained to me that your dog knows when your taking the time to allow them to do their thing. They actually appreciate the opportunity to be a dog and get out of the house, run, sniff, and pee one things. That they are even more incline to behave when they know theirs a mutual relationship between them in there owner. Much to your point in the beginning of the video.

@yo_its_devo Год назад

I think it's fine to train your dog to be very obedient as long as you balance it with plenty of fun time like playing or exploring. Many dogs like border collies are actually happier when they have jobs to do because they've been bred for it. Like everything in life it's all about balance. I can pretty safely say that you aren't going to be able to train out your pups desire to play any time soon :)

You don't have to erase your dog mate. Im in Australia, I have trained many dogs... My current girl, a Catahouls Leopard Dog has a strong inner "dogginess" but she is still well trained to sit, stay, wait for traffic lights, find objects etc....When we go for a walk it is 90% smells and exploration and 10% basic obedience. It is possible to allow your friend to be a dog, even dogs naturally live in a pack and have to conform to behavioral requirements...

Enriching our dogs with smells is so engrained in how I and my fiance treat our dogs, that the idea that anyone would yank their dog away from smells was a big surprise to me! I thought, wow, people do that? We even lower things we're holding for them to sniff because we know they'd like to be involved, and that smelling enriches them. For some reason they're always particularly interested in sniffing a fresh cup of coffee... our older dog loves sniffing it before she waddles back to lay down.

@prawncrisp5951 6 месяцев назад

Wonderful that you not only allow them free reign to engage with the smells around them - to me too, this has always seemed like an obviously good thing to do - AND you also bring equally-interesting but less-accessible smells to them at their nose level! I love to see people interacting like this with their dog & cat friends (for me, one of the best things about RU-vid), and appreciate learning all the ways to be a good, thoughtful friend & guardian to one’s critter pals.

She showed me recently that she can be a "alert dog." My elderly husband started to cook and walked away from the pan on the stive and it started to burn. She came to me in bed, jumped on me and would not give up. She was alerting me to something burning. Now that winter is here in Michgan, I have been lighting a candle in the morning. She is now alerting me within a few seconds that this has been lit. The more she sniffs the smarter she gets. Brilliant!

If a call him he will come straight away and walk next to me till I say go be free, I keep him next to me only if a car is passing by or people that are afraid of dogs (we go every where, city, forest, parks, concerts we even ride on big bike together). Being free, being able to be a dog that he wants to be made him into something special, he understands everything without any training, wherever we go all eyes on him because of his sprit and endless energy. Give them freedom give them love and some food/water its all they need from us rest on how to be a dog they know way better then we do.

I do this in a similar fashion but with one of those very loose coil 12 foot leashes. She's a schnauzer and I'm absolutely certain that she would go straight into a passing truck tire if there were a squirrel on the scene. Lost a precious terrier this way 3 years ago. I'm not judging... only presenting that different breeds have different drives. I see a difference in our schnauzer's responses when my wife always walks with a super restrictive tight leash... while I'll simply let Luna be "in charge" loose leash setting the pace with her nose. She always comes to me with walk requests and not my wife

Great video! Every dog owner needs to see this & hopefully learn from it. I completely agree with letting dogs stop & smell whatever they please, of course being cautious of harmful things such as chemicals or the dreaded foxtail grass seed. I take my girl for a walk daily in a couple large parks & I let her lead sniffing her way around. Her route varies on a daily basis. Also when socializing it’s perfectly normal for dogs to sniff genitals & butts. Since it’s not acceptable in our society people tend to get embarrassed & try to prevent the act. I like to take the opportunity to let them know it’s normal dog behavior similar to people shaking hands & engaging in conversation. I’ve witnessed how shaming a dogs natural behavior can have a negative effect. My sisters dog would sniff the rear end of females & sometimes try to mount. She would always scold him for it. When she decided to breed him he couldn’t bring himself to do it because of the years of punishment for acting normal. Sad. Dogs are complex creatures that should be treated with respect & dignity.

Awesome video. I always do my best to let my dog sniff as long as she wants but sometimes she will stay in the same exact spot for like 10 minutes lol. Im like WHAT IN THE WORLD COULD BE SO AMAZING ABOUT THAT SINGLE SPOT OF DIRT? Wish they could talk to us so we would know for sure. Maybe some day elon musk will make a neurolink for dogs too =D

He didn’t mention it, but if you google the size of the human olfactory bulb (brain compartment with neurons just for differentiating and associating smells) compared to dogs or rats it’s WAY smaller

and yet, when I dressed as Santa one year, my dog couldn't apparently smell me and got terrified lmao

Dogs, most of us think, have the best noses on the planet. But a new study reveals that this honor actually goes to elephants. The power of a mammal's sniffer hinges on the number and type of its olfactory receptor genes. Perhaps not surprisingly, given the length of its trunk, the African elephant has the largest number of such genes-nearly 2000, the scientists report in the Genome Research. In contrast, dogs have only 1000.

They have the smell version of perfect pitch 😉

I sure needed a dog today. I meet two moose in the forest today and they were gone before I could take photos. I could not track them even though they left me the upwind advantage.

His book, An Immense World is really worth reading.

Human Species have five senses. Including smell. Dogs have a superior sense of smell. Since my maternal grandfather raised German Shepard dogs, our family always had a dog in the family, while growing up. The senses, no matter how superior, can only provide what has long been known as or illusion. There are more interesting aspects to the illusion, itself, such as how the illusion is created. Oh well individuals are all on their own Path of Knowledge.
