Dogs are social pack animals. And research concludes that dogs and wolves evolved from a common ancestor between 9,000 and 34,000 years ago, before humans transitioned to agricultural societies, according to an analysis of modern dog and wolf genomes from areas of the world thought to be centers of dog domestication.

Now, let's look into what dogs do in the wild. Wolves are migrating animals. It simply means they travel hundreds or thousands of miles with the pack throughout their life span.

Now we know wolves walk in a pack. Next when they walk and they become hungry, they will hunt. Once they successfully hunt and eat, they will rest.

While resting, some will play around, and some will mate. And they will eliminate as and when needed.

These are basic instinctive needs for a wolf to survive.

They live in a pack and in a pack, they have clear hierarchies of who leads and who follows. A pack can have more than 1 leader.

The establishment of leadership constantly will be challenged all the time and the leaders of the pack will always stay calm assertive,and his body language is so composed and sturdy all the time. If the leader becomes physically weak, or mentally not strong, a fight for leadership will take place and the one that is strong physically and mentally will win and becomes the leader. And this cycle goes on throughout the wolf's life until they die.

Since wolves and dogs have the same ancestors, we can use this guideline to establish safe and healthy ways of co-existing with dogs in a domesticated environment. Next, we will look into types of stimulation for best dog up-keeping.
