@iamwillatherton: Ever wondered how your dog experiences time? ⏳🐾 They don’t see it like we do… no clocks, no sense of “I’ll be back in an hour.” Instead, dogs live in patterns. They understand life through routine, repetition, and what usually happens next. So when you leave the house, they’re not thinking “they’ve been gone 3 hours”… they’re just waiting for the moment things feel familiar again. That’s why structure is so important. Consistent routines help your dog feel safe, settled, and less anxious when things change. And it’s also why unpredictable days can lead to more stress or unsettled behaviour. Once you understand that, a lot of things start to make more sense. Your dog isn’t struggling with time… they’re responding to patterns. ##DogTraining #dogbehaviour #puppytraining #dogtips doglife
