its crazy how dogs can learn through experience. my dog for example has learned when the neighbours dog goes for a walk by the sound the gate makes every time they leave their house. the unseen intelligence from dogs is just remarkable!!!

I have to agree. Many people underestimate the intelligence of dogs, mostly because human beings have a terrible superiority complex. Dogs, although they cannot read a clock, know their owner's schedule (if it is consistent), and the sound of their car. My dog recognized the sound of my friend's scooter. She would hear it coming down the street and immediately become excited. Another scooter passed, and it did not phase her, it was just another person on a scooter.

Yes, yes, I have to agree with you Valen , ^_^ The dogs I have are really smart though, they are a hunter's favorite and they know what's going on and they care about you. Although my other is at the vet, trying to feel better, he came to me when i needed him the most when my feeling were hurt and the puppies I have now, well, they were worried about me and came to my room and tried to jump on my high level bed and I picked them up and they licked my face and I hugged them. Dogs are really special to me and as long as they protect me, I protect them. Hell I would actually take a bullet for them.

Yes,you are perfectly right! Some times,dogs learn things much quicker even quicker than humans some times.Even though dogs can't talk and do not have the reasoning capacity like humans,it definitely learns to act according to its previous experience. there was even an experiment done where a dog was given food after ringing a bell.After some days,after the bell rings,the dog begins to salivate even if the food was yet to be served.So,its definitely true that dogs do learn from previous experiences. Dogs also remember all things which you may have done to it,whether its good or bad. Cheers! Have a good day Happy mylotting and happy earnings.
