I loved it.

Oh dear.

I really enjoyed this. I love the test they used. I'm looking at all these guys with the side eye now.

I do hope they do more.

Very interesting I loved it too!

Interesting. It makes sense that dogs want to be stimulated with challenges and outings. After all they are intelligent beings. Intelligent beings are never satisfied with sitting around doing nothing. They require stimulus a sedentary life-style does not provide.

I took my two out after reading that article...

Thanks! C:

Looks like a crackpot website, too. Wouldn't trust their data too far.

Doesn't look like the website is providing data, but commenting on the published paper: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168159113002426

I'm not sure that I agree with the conclusions of the study though. The other part, it's a no brainer that dogs prefer to do stuff, rather than to do nothing!!
