Why does your dog spin in circles before lying down?
The act of spinning before sleeping is one of the purest examples of what ethology calls a Fixed Action Pattern. Even if your dog has never seen tall grass or a wild forest, its brain's software runs a survival program installed thousands of years ago. This behavior proves that domestication has changed the appearance of dogs, but it hasn't erased the wolf's operating system. In addition to warding off pests and checking the wind, as mentioned, this ritual is intrinsically linked to the vulnerability of sleep. In nature, sleep is the most dangerous time for a predator. Spinning prepares the ground for the final position: the compact ball. By spinning and curling up, the dog instinctively protects its viscera and vital organs located in the abdomen, exposing only the spine and thickest fur to the elements or a surprise attack. Another curiosity derived from this behavior is the act of digging in the sofa or bed before spinning. Many owners scold this, but biologically, the dog is trying to regulate the temperature of its nest. In nature, the topsoil is warm in summer and cool in winter; digging a few inches reveals soil with a more stable temperature. So when your dog obsessively spins around on a down comforter in an air-conditioned apartment, he's not confused. He's simply honoring ancestral wisdom that ensured his ancestors survived the night so he could be there with you today. _________________________ SEJA MEMBRO DESTE CANAL E GANHE BENEFÍCIOS: / @virtualbookseditora VEJA O CATÁLOGO DOS E-BOOKS GRÁTIS PARA MEMBROS, EM 6 IDIOMAS https://tinyurl.com/yvcvcz4s _________________________ PROMOÇÃO E-BOOKS JURÍDICOS \ SEU TCC EM E-BOOK PDF EM 03 DIAS ÚTEIS.
