The reasons why dogs like to den are as follows: 1. Instinct needs: Dogs are social animals, and they are born with the instinctive need to find a safe and warm nest. In the wild, such nests can provide shelter and protect them from predators and harsh weather. At home, the dog’s nest becomes their “den”. 2. Comfort: Dogs will think that their nest is a comfortable and safe place. They like the smell, feel and temperature of the nest, so they are willing to burrow inside.
3. Sense of security: Dogs feel safe and protected in their dens because it is their own territory. Therefore, when dogs feel anxious, scared, or lonely, they will want to return to their nest. 4. Guarding instinct: Dogs will think that their nest is a place that needs to be protected, so crawling into the nest is also a manifestation of guarding instinct. In the wild, dogs will regard their den as their own territory and will protect it from other animals. Similarly, at home, dogs will regard their den as their own territory and need protection.
