“…Dogs' sleep can be affected by several conditions, the most common causes of which are narcolepsy, behavioural disorder during REM sleep, and sleep breathing disorders (Mondino et al, 2021). Additionally, sleep disorders themselves can be a sign of an incipient disease.…”

“…Important causes of sleep disorders are cognitive impairment or chronic pain (Woods et al, 2020), which manifests itself primarily in the dominance of daytime sleep and night-time active wakefulness (Woods et al, 2020). However, insomnia has not been found for dogs (Mondino et al, 2021). Dogs' sleep is naturally affected by motor activity during the day, the general level of excitability, emotional load, training, as well as age and health status.…”

“…Physical activity throughout the day contributes to the improvement of sleep in dogs. An active motor loads lead to an extension of sleep time at night, a reduction in the latency of the first cycle and the number of awakenings (Mondino et al, 2021;Schork et al, 2022). Normalisation of sleep is facilitated by the ordering of the dog's daily routine, the absence of emotional events, maintaining normal temperature and illumination in the room (Mondino et al, 2021).…”

“…Reasonable and adequate interaction between humans and animals within the framework of the "Green Care" paradigm stimulate the mutual improvement of health and welfare. For both working dogs and companion dogs, animal welfare is determined by taking into account the characteristics of individuals, human attitude, behaviour, surrounding objects and the external environment (Mondino et al, 2021). From this position, the role of companion animals is to provide humans calming support, and to create a psychological balance.…”

Pets living in urban agglomerations are subject to numerous risk factors that provoke health problems. One of these factors is a violation of the “wakefulness-sleep” cycle. A sleep-deprived animal is in a state of serious stress, since this condition is more difficult to tolerate than food deprivation, making the animal more susceptible to health decline factors. Due to this problem, sleep hygiene plays an important role in ensuring the wellfare of pet dogs. The article provides an overview of modern studies on the specificities of the sleep-wake cycles in domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris L.). Modern data on the general physiology of mammal sleep, especially pet dogs, are examined. Methods to analyses the features of the sleep cycles of dogs and their possible disorders are given. Also, we discuss the influence of co-sleeping of a person and a dog on the quality of sleep of both.

“…Optimal rest and sleep are critical for working dogs. Sleep is associated with emotional state in sentient animals and is necessary for consolidation of learning, immune function, optimal performance and recovery to ensure longevity in working dog roles (139)(140)(141)(142). Remote monitoring of canine sleep can be used to alert staff to disruption or change from normal sleep patterns that might impact animal welfare (143).…”

The Animal Welfare Science of Working Dogs: Current Perspectives on Recent Advances and Future Directions

Working dogs are prevalent throughout our societies, assisting people in diverse contexts, from explosives detection and livestock herding, to therapy partners. Our scientific exploration and understanding of animal welfare have grown dramatically over the last decade. As community attitudes toward the use of animals continue to change, applying this new knowledge of welfare to improve the everyday lives of working dogs will underpin the sustainability of working with dogs in these roles. The aim of this report was to consider the scientific studies of working dogs from the last decade (2011–2021) in relation to modern ethics, human interaction, and the five domains of animal welfare: nutrition, environment, behavioral interaction, physical health, and mental state. Using this framework, we were able to analyze the concept and contribution of working dog welfare science. Noting some key advances across the full working dog life cycle, we identify future directions and opportunities for interdisciplinary research to optimize dog welfare. Prioritizing animal welfare in research and practice will be critical to assure the ongoing relationship between dogs and people as co-workers.
