Is it wrong to grant human emotions and motivations to our dogs? Dogs really more humane than some of us are willing to believe ??
Recently, the dogs have become the darlings of the new cognitive science, research and explore the range of emotions dogs and cognitive capacities are growing at an exponential rate.
Among the many human characteristics attributed to dogs is the concept of guilt. It's not unusual for the dog owner to the state, "he knew he had done something. Has to" look guilty. "We all know that glum expression dog guilty, but you really prove that dogs feel shame? If not, what behind it? a group of researchers at Barnard College University in New York to answer a few of these questions.
guilty dog Experiement
in a study by Alexandra Horowitz, assistant professor of Barnard College, put the dogs in a controlled environment where they and their owners preparing to make the dogs guilty appear innocent on them, and vice versa. the dogs that the owners ordered to leave the tasty treat alone, then the owner left the room.
after I left the room owners and offered some dogs treatment prohibited by the researchers, which they ate, while others obediently waiting for the return of their master. he said researchers owners about the behavior their pets often are not linked to the events that happened in their absence.
owners who honestly told that the dog had disobeyed them by eating the treat, which then scolded the dogs, the dog received a guilty look. However, when the researchers falsely stated that the dog had eaten the treatment in the absence of its owner, innocent dogs that were rebuked for treating eating it did not consume, guiltiest showed a look of all the dogs in the experiment.
This suggests that look guilty stems from a reaction to the rebuke and lack of guilt or innocence is true dog. However, referring to the more research there may be more of a look guilty that what I gather from this experience in the first blush.?
What are the dogs really respond to. What do dogs think and feel in relation to human care providers?
genius dog
According to Brian Hare co-author of the book genius dogs: How dogs smarter than you think , "the genius of dogs is that they probably used the most powerful tool on earth to solve human problems. at one point in the evolution of the wolf, I decided a pack of wolves to take advantage of humans and it was really successful because of it. "
by hitching themselves to humans, became dogs and one of the most successful species in the world. Domesticated dogs themselves in the process where the dogs are more tolerant, attentive and less aggressive best with new companions. In the process of 18,000 years, it has been the revision of the brain and the sensitivities of the dog to cope better with men. It seems that dogs have developed a number of coping skills that we observe in the human young children.

a lot of dog owners refer to their dogs as "children of dogs." But are adult dogs really like human children? The researchers sought to Lisa century, Ludwig Huber, the term Frederick and intelligent dog laboratory to determine whether dogs, like human children, the "secure base effect." Basically a secure base in young children refers to the impact of the bond facility where the child refers back to the caregiver of tranquility while exploring the world. The existence of care provides a sense of security, a secure base.
in human tests, children perform better in cognitive tests when their own care are present in the test environment. Researchers set about this experience dogs up to four terms of solving the problem of the use of the toy dog that is distributed is treated as a model for a test of knowledge. I left the dogs with a game in one of the four scenarios: alone without human presence, with a stranger, and with the active encouragement to the dog owner to interact with the game and finally, with the owner in the case of negligence
[left dogs alone with forced game interaction with a minimum of that. Dogs left with strangers a little more interaction with the game. And those who suffer from the present owners interacted statistically more with the game whether the springy game or not. This shows the effect of a secure base marked with their caregivers. One adult dogs to retain throughout their lives, but one that the normal human children eventually grow.
It seems that these links between the parent / child mutual. Ocytocin is a neurotransmitter that is essential in the bonding process in all types of mammals. It is essential for the development of the bond / child and parent as well as peeling bonds in the pairings.
In the experiment, and asked pet owners to complete a questionnaire that described the bond they feel with the dog. Then they were asked to give a urine sample, and then to play with the dog for 30 minutes. Following their play session, they made again on the urine sample. And it showed samples were analyzed before and after those with strong ties to their pets may also increase oxytocin levels in urine samples following the course to play with the dog. Ocytocin increased levels correlated with their level of attachment wrote suffer with their pets. It seems that we are biologically bonded with our dogs.

dogs are more like the US United more than other primates do we
research over the past 10 years is turning some surprising facts about dogs. their ability to follow the gesture or the man's vision is unparalleled among others species, including the chimpanzee . If we fix our attention on the object, by pointing or looking at them, the dog will also repair his interest in the object. If I point at an object, a cat or a primate will look at my finger, but the dog will often follow the gesture to an object I am referring in time itself.
this unique ability to understand the visual and auditory commands, and linking them with the required procedures we allow dogs to herd stock, recovery and training courses agility with a split second reactions for our orders or, in some cases, simply because our field of focus. Large bags and lightness of movement directed their dogs through the course by aiming their bodies in the next obstacle. Processor error occurs when the handler pulls the dog accidentally error derailed because his body was aimed at the wrong Aqaba.
dogs are also the only species that has shown the ability to learn words on the same old human level for two children; with the average dog to be able to learn between 150-250 words.
even more remarkable, and dogs used deductive strategy that employs the principle of exclusion. Dogs learned are specific things can be inferred, by excluding audio / Faces known associations, the new voice belongs to the new object, which was added to the mix of objects to be recovered. Only human children have shown that ability yet.
Beyond that, two border collies have demonstrated the ability to iconicity. These dogs can show a two-dimensional representation of the body, and then this object refund based on the symbol or icon represented in the image.

Do dogs have human feelings?
laughed: We know that dogs bark for joy, but can laugh too? Researcher Patricia Simonet from Sierra Nevada College and her team discovered that "some of the breathless, excited evaporation" can be a canine version of laughter. Team record sounds made by dogs in a local park to play in that. Fred discovered exhalation, which did not differ from the normal rush. When the team play this audio recordings and other dogs, and they also began to play when he was "laughing pant" audible. In addition, they found that playing recordings of pant laughs helped calm shelter dogs under pressure.
Are dogs grieve?
Researchers have found in multiple experiments, the dogs do experience grief when a member of the family passes away. Dogs suffer lethargy, loss of appetite, sleep disturbances, just as people do, the loss of the human family members or pets. Normally these manifestations of grief will last two weeks, but can be extended as long as six months.
Canine jealousy and sense of fair play
dogs are taught to shake hands for intermittent rewards will stop shaking hands if they saw that another dog receives bonuses for each handshake. This shows the spirit of fairness, as well as a feeling of injustice. Dogs do not become jealous when they feel another animal is treated better than they are.
dogs can empathize and feel jealous.
dogs can experience empathy?
sympathy, was seen as the ability to experience the thoughts and feelings of others for a long time a unique feature of its kind between the monkeys a higher level. Dogs can experience our emotions?
not only yawns contagious among humans, it is between humans and dogs, too. The study by Teresa Romero and colleagues from the University of Tokyo found that the dogs yawned when they yawn, both strangers and owners. However, they responded with reciprocal yawn more frequently to yawn owner of those strangers. Dogs are much less often also responded to the fake yawn.
yawning is important because it demonstrates the ability to empathize, and I've shown to correlate with the level of social attachment in several species of primates. The fact that the dogs differentiate between real and fake yawn and respond accordingly is intriguing. Dogs empathize with real human act, it is to ignore the fake one to a large extent.
Thus, Do dogs feel guilt?
Conventional wisdom says dogs can not feel emotions such as shame or higher guilt. These expressions are generally attributed to fear or confusion guilty.
, but in the study, 74% of dog owners think that their dogs saw the guilty when they know they have transgressed. He said 60% of the owners of these dogs that guilty expression resulted in less scolding the dog.
We know from past experience that raises scolding guilty expression. Apparently, that expression guilty useful for dogs to relieve some of the reprimand. It is adaptive behavior. But do dogs act guilty when they know they have transgressed. However, the owner has not yet discovered the crime?
did not prove the full answer to this question in an experiment, but an initial test of one indicates that there is guilt response in dogs really guilty.
In an experiment Julie Hecht led Eötvös and Rand University in Budapest, the researchers again found that all dogs behave guilty when scolded for stealing food are prohibited, regardless of guilt or innocence. However, when the owners left the room and then returned to greet their dogs for a second time, only to dogs who really committed the theft in the treatment lasted guilty to work on their owners to return. The dogs innocent forgotten the incident and received a reprimand owners usually.
It stands to reason that the animals are very attuned for us and with such incredible ability to learn and the desire to please be able to pre-empt our displeasure to the discovery of their crime. The research team is working on a new experience Hecht to remove some of the confounding factors that have been made in the laboratory setting. We expect to find further evidence that dogs do not feel guilty along with many other human emotions in their power to do and experience.
