Why does your dog get up from a perfectly comfortable bed just to follow you into another room?
You walk into the kitchen, and your dog appears behind you. You head towards the bathroom, and familiar paws follow along the hallway. Even when nothing interesting seems to be happening, your companion often insists on coming along. But what is your dog really doing?
Why Dogs Follow Us from Room to Room explores the fascinating science behind one of the most familiar behaviours in everyday canine life.
Drawing upon research into dog behaviour, attachment, learning and social cognition, Rowan Vale reveals how familiar footsteps become meaningful, why some dogs choose one particular person, and how curiosity, routine and the expectation of something rewarding can turn an ordinary household journey into an event worth investigating.
From puppies that become constant shadows to older dogs seeking familiar company, the book also examines the important distinction between healthy companionship and genuine separation-related distress.
Accessible, engaging and grounded in scientific evidence, this is a thoughtful exploration of the relationships dogs build with the people who share their homes.
Your dog may follow you everywhere. Understanding why will change the way you see those familiar footsteps.
