Yup, they don't only love it, they need to be mentally challenged by a leadership figure to expend mental energy and maintain a calm submissive state.

Just walking a dog every day, and making sure it stay on your side 100% of the time, is a great mental outlet for the dog (it takes concentration for the dog to match your pace) and defines the human as the leader from the dog's POV.
