Dogs received a lot of physical exercise and mental stimulation while performing their tasks alongside their human handlers. Nowadays, people still take their dogs to work – but the setting is more likely to be an office rather than...
Why Do Dogs Shake Off?
Dogs shake off after being wet, but why do they do it when dry? Our dogs are smarter than we think. They often shake off after they wake up from sleep or just after stretching.

This causes them to produce synovial fluid that lubricates their joints. If your dog stops shaking off, you should be concerned. If he sustains an acute injury to one or more joints, he may suddenly stop shaking. Senior...
