\u201cSadly, naps are blank pages in a journal that should be bursting with\u00a0adventures.\u201d<\/p><\/div>Another day, another stupid dog study: \u201cEveryday household noise stresses dogs out.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Is that true? Your dog can’t snooze through the vacuum cleaner or the dishwasher? Every new thing is a dragon to your dog \u2013 and to your toddler \u2013 but toothless dragons get ignored in due course.<\/p>\n

What does the study actually study: Are dogs uncomfortable with random sounds in laboratories that look, smell and feel like the vet’s office? No one observing an adult dog at home could draw these stupid conclusions. Only childless and probably dogless Ci academics would ever imagine they could assess a dog or a toddler from a laboratory.<\/p>\n

Here’s the news, no useless Ph.D. required: If your dog is snoozing through anything \u2013 from house-cleaning to the football game on TV \u2013 he is telling you by his tells that he does not give a shit: Not threatening, not rewarding, not interesting. If your dog is at peace while you are getting other things done, that’s just exactly right. Dogs and toddlers are pack animals, and sleeping near you, where the night-watchman can still hear you, is participation with the pack.<\/p>\n

Want to stress your dog out? Leave him alone \u2013 at the vet, at a kennel, at an academic’s laboratory or just at home. If you want to know how that feels to your dog, imagine doing it to your toddler.<\/p>\n

Stop listening to academics: They can’t even keep a houseplant alive. Instead, recognize that your dog is never not a toddler and respond accordingly.<\/p>\n
