1) The study collared over 100 dogs across six remote Australian communities to track their movements using GPS and quantify their roaming behavior. 2) The results showed that most dogs had small core home ranges of 0.2-0.4 hectares centered around the owner's house, but some individuals roamed much further with home ranges up to 104 hectares. 3) Younger dogs and seasons were found to influence roaming behavior, while factors like breed, genetics and use as hunting dogs did not have a significant effect. Understanding dog movement patterns is important for modeling disease transmission like rabies between dogs and humans.
