Where Does Man's Best Friend Sleep?

By: Ajeet Khurana

A dog is called Man's best friend for a good reason. Any dog owner will tell you that to own a dog is to love the dog.

A dog becomes such an integral part of your life. It waits for you to come home. Then when you do reach home, it gives the best welcome you can dream of. No family member can match the sheer enthusiasm and joy that a pet dog demonstrates when you arrive back from work or even from a brief five-minute excursion.

A dog is also some kind of a security system. Having a dog around means having a highly alert creature around you that would detect any movement in and around the house.

So, I guess I have established that a dog is really special. Now let us look at the other side of the story: How special are you to the dog.

There are two parts to being kind to your dog. The first part is taking care of your dog's physical needs. The second part is behaving nicely with your dog. Naturally you cannot but have the second part right. But going by basic theories in behavioral sciences, we must first think about the dog's basic necessities.

So what are these necessities? First and foremost is good food. A dog must get the right quantity of food with the right amount of nutrition at the right time of the day. A domesticated dog is dependent on you for this food. So, make sure that you do not fall short of your dog's expectations.

Another aspect of the dog's physical needs is a place to sleep. And I do not just mean a roof over the dog's head. I actually mean an appropriate place to sleep.

Of course it can be argued that the dog will sleep anywhere, on the floor for instance. Though that is true, it does not present the best scenario. Depending on the material of the flooring, seasons could cause it to get too hot or too cold. This would also depend on whether the dog is hairy or not.

Then again treating the dog's bedding requirement akin to a human's bedding needs is inappropriate. So let us see what the dog needs.

First of all the dog's bedding should be of the right size and should seem appropriate based on the size of the dog. Second the bedding should be of a size that you could locate it at the correct portion of your home. Some prefer that a dog sleep outdoors. Others prefer a dog sleeping inside the house. In either case, you will have to come up with the appropriate bedding situation.

You could actually go high tech and include some minor white noise, such as the ticking of a clock, especially if the dog is too small. If you live in a territory with extreme weather conditions, the dog's bedding could take care of the temperature need of the dog.

Make sure that there is no offensive smell, from the dog's point of view, in the dogs bedding.
