Of course they do, they don't know where or what the boundaries are until its pointed out to them or they learn from interaction with others

Why does discipline need to kick in to point out they have exceeded a boundary? Does not make them happier at all, but it does make them informed.

Not at all, you don't discipline dogs. You encourage and develop and reward the behaviour you do want, not discipline the behaviour you don't.
That way you develop keen dogs always seeking to excel and please.
Bit like children I reckon.
