In today's world, dogs of various breeds often find themselves in situations that are far removed from their natural predispositions and historical tasks.

Despite their rich heritage and special skills, dogs are often forced to live in conditions that are inadequate to their needs.

The frustration of our four-legged friends may be perceived as "bad behavior." As a result, neither we nor our dog are happy.

The Malinois is known for its extraordinary intelligence and willingness to work. In the past, it was used as a shepherd dog to herd sheep - nowadays it is often trained in the army, police, and even anti-terrorist units, which proves its extraordinary abilities and predispositions.

In many cases, instead of tracking down bad guys, this lively canine genius often has to settle for eight hours on the couch. The lack of opportunity to develop its extraordinary predispositions can definitely affect the mental well-being of our pet.

Are you fed up with the fact that your beautiful, biscuity Labrador won't miss any opportunity to roll in every puddle it encounters? Maybe you're trying to discipline him for it? It is worth remembering that humans selected this breed specifically for bringing back shot ducks.

Therefore, it is in the nature of a Labrador to love water, swimming and fetching. That's when he's happy - not when he's sitting at home all day, seriously overweight.

Akita Inu is a warrior born, or rather created through genetic manipulation. Breeders selected it because they needed an animal useful for hunting large game, including bears. It can therefore be assumed that it must be an exceptionally brave dog. If we are looking for a docile and gentle dog, this will not be a good choice for obvious reasons.

Due to their small size, Yorkies were used for catching rats in mines, not for carrying in a purse. Unfortunately, nowadays some owners forget that dogs of this breed are not toys and can and even need to walk on their own. The inability to satisfy their natural needs often leads to stagnation or excessive nervousness in this breed.

It is widely known that the husky in its natural habitat was used to pull sleds across vast areas of tundra. However, it is also worth remembering that it was used for extreme tasks.

In 1925, a sled pulled by dogs of this breed travelled over a thousand kilometers at temperatures below 50 degrees Celsius to deliver the serum needed to stop the diphtheria epidemic in Alaska. These dogs can do a lot.

Currently, they often live in limited spaces, often in blocks of flats, and are taken for two half-hour walks a day, which easily leads to frustration and excess energy, which can be released, for example, by digging holes in the ground.
