| DOGS UNDERSTAND: 5 THINGS YOUR DOG KNOWS ABOUT YOU-Dog Training Tips free |
Have you ever wondered what's going on behind those adorable dog eyes, naughty smile and wet muzzle? Have you ever considered the idea your dog really understands what you are saying? Well, research shows that your dog really understands you.
According to USA Today, a new study has found that dogs are able to make eye contact with their owners and listen to their signals, just like an infant. You know that cute head tilt that your dog sometimes does when you're talking to him? That head tilt can actually be a sign that your dog is perceiving your facial expressions and gestures.
Dogs look at our eye contact and body language to find out what we want them to do. This study looked at the behavior of many different dogs after watching two different videos. In each case the dogs reacted almost identical to the infants who were studied with them. The researcher, Topal, believes that dogs pick up on these human-like tendencies after forming relationships with humans.
It is surprising how much a dog can understand the bus by looking at our facial expressions. Here are 5 things a dog can tell about you.
1. Your dog can understand when you are sad. Have you ever had that moment where you are about to cry - but suddenly your dog comes and hovers next to you? They do this because they can understand that something is wrong. Dogs provide comfort during rough times and their unconditional love is inspiring.
2. Your dog knows when you are being inappropriate.
A study in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that dogs will become distressed and anxious when they see you paying more attention to other pets at home.
3. A dog can tell when you have a new set of priorities.
For example, when you bring a new baby home, your dog will pick up on the fact that it is no longer getting the most attention. This can often cause depression for your dog and sometimes he or she will start to resent your child. Get a baby sound CD to familiarize your dog to do this process smoothly.
4. Your dog will know when you are crazy.
Dogs hate despair and can understand the emotions and body language that comes with a troubled "parent". When you are upset with your dog and he gives you "sweet puppy dog eyes", he knows that you are upset and are expecting things to change. Instead of disciplining your pet, why not count to ten, take a deep pause and then feast your dog. Once the tension goes away, grab the dog leash and dog collar and take your pets on a nice long walk. Odds are that both of you will feel a little better.
5. Dogs make sense when you are afraid.
Your dog will pick up on the fact that you are acting fearfully. Some types of dog breeds may react by trying to protect you, while others will probably be as intimidating as you. But almost all dogs can quickly understand when an owner is feeling afraid or anxious.
The next time you're talking to your dog in public like that child, don't be that voice conscious because your dog knows if you want him with that accent. He associates that tone with talking to you. So, people are disregarding when you feel weird and tell them that your dog really understands you, and scientists believe the same!
If you are bringing a new dog home, there are always new ways to bond with your pet. For new dog owners, we recommend taking a few minutes to investigate the top 3 mistakes that new dog owners make. This article can help you avoid some of the pitfalls that may arise.
