Can a dog tell time?

2 Answers
ANSWER

One of the ways a dog can judge the passage of time is by the decay of scent, over time smells dissipate and a dog is able to tell time by changes in the strength of odors.

Dogs have neurons in their brain that activate when they're waiting for an expected outcome. They aren't so much telling time, as judging time. Dogs sense when it's time for a walk, dinner, or sleep. Circadian rhythm, a 24-hour cycle, helps them figure out when it is time to do different things.
