"Von Osten was shocked at this revelation" That's how you know he was a good scientist (mathematician rather) as anyone who cares about knowledge isnt afraid to show surprise when they are wrong. If this Wilhelm was a quack, he would've argued incessantly with the psychologist doing the controlled study, and then wrote an article about how his chi could knock the psychologist over without touching him
yeah no shit. The question was if they understand human language.. Its obvious they read body language. Dogs are pack hunters and rely on body language and communication with each other in order to hunt. Being able to sense how you're feeling is something most animals can do. That has nothing to do with this video, though.
I remember hearing a news story on NPR years ago and I think it was talking about that specifically. The reaction they have isn't because they know they did something wrong, it's a reaction because it thinks you are upset and feel sympathetic for you, not upset at itself. I'm too lazy to google this but I remember hearing about it. It was years ago and I could have just twisted the words without knowing. It makes sense though because they will just keep doing the same thing again even if you scold them not to when they do.
***** Sorry, its possible im just taking my knowledge for granted but OF COURSEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.... Thats like th first fucking thing you're taught in vet nursing classes.. Animals are incredibly sensitive to human emotion and body language. Its why body language specialists can so easily control an animals behavour. You people have no idea. Your minds are barely scraping the barrel of how much we have learned and yet you're trying to talk about it like "oh I saw an article a while ago" you sound like morons.
Jordanious77 LMFAO holy shit you got so tilted First of all I didn't say that was the truth, it just something that I have heard. You just assumed that was what I believed. It was something interesting about the topic and I was sharing it. Calm down. Not every animal (including pets) can just understand everything you say or do, that can include body language. They can misinterpret things. If you are yelling at them and pointing they might think you are excited about something. For instance, my aunts dog will literally growl and be aggresive as hell towards you if you laugh. Only when you laugh. The dog just misinterprets it. Something probably just happened where it heard laughter and had a negative experience so it ties laughter to that, but I'm making a point. If anything you sound like a fucking idiot trying to tell me what I can and can't say. There is obviously way more to it, but this thing I heard was years ago and it was all I have ever heard on the topic. It doesn't mean that is what I 100% believe, my opinion is still open and I am willing to change it. Next time think before you speak, and don't just assume that is what I believed because I did use the word "think" and not "know". Also why the hell are you saying "You people" like your some illuminati conspiracy lunatic? Calm down.
I had this chow/shepard mix for many years. Best dog in the world. My mom has never liked animals, doesn't want them near her. Hates the thought of touching them. My dog would greet everybody else by coming up and touching them with her paw however she never did this with my mom. She was the first animal EVER let in my mom's house simply because she seemed to know not to try and touch her and kept her distance... she didn't do this with any other human. My dad had died several years earlier but my mom still had bad days over it. One day I almost fell out because I came home from work and my mom was petting my dog...actually touching her! She said that she was sitting in her chair crying quite a bit that day and my dog came over and sat near her but not too close. Then, very very gently touched her nose to my mom's hand. She kept nuzzling her a bit more and finally pushed her head under my mom's hand. Mom quit crying and started to rub her head. My dog then got free run of the house, her own comfy living room chair and part of whatever mom was eating from then on. She still won't touch any other animal though.
15:24 So what? She sued Coco or the animal park or whatever was holding Coco? That is so stupid. Suing a gorilla for wanting to see her nipples... I guess she sued her own dog when it was peeking at her in the shower, or the neighbours dog when it was peeking inside her bedroom window...
You're just another idiot insulting people for their lack of intelligence when your misuse of the English language is, of course, overlooked. Dumb fuck
+Echo 11 I can't give two fucks about 10% of libtards and fat feminists because 90% are actually smart and if you can't respect definitions you aren't respecting 90% of smart people and women....
I am positive animals understand. We can understand when an animal is in distress or happy, so why wouldn't they understand aswell? You can ask animals things and they can respond. I have a parrot t who speaks, she will say certain words when she is doing certain actions. If we turn the music up, she will yell dance and Bob her head. Or if you cry, your dogs try's to lick and console you. If people still think animals aren't aware, then I pity them.
Ah yes, because humans lick and whine when they're sad or excited? How about when they become depressed after a loved one dies? That is not just copying behaviour. It's already been proven they feel empathy and have the emotional capacity of a 4 year old. They also show affection, jealousy, sadness, excitement among many others. Sorry, they aren't copying.. Also, even puppies show emotions and they haven't been exposed to every emotion. Your way of thinking is why animals are being abused.. Let me guess, you think elephants, Dolphins and apes just copy human emotions? Because, you know emotions are only exclusive to humans.. Smh
"You should probably watch what you are saying around your pets, they may be listening a bit more attentively than you think." Me: My dog knows too much.
How could Von Osten, a highschool mathematics teacher, not know something, while Hans, a horse, was expected to know it? I mean, if Hans should be able to calculate something, shouldn't it be relatively easy, so that Von Osten would have calculated it before Hans? Also, I suppose that they didn't really expect Hans to calculate, for example, the square root of 729 (27) or 47*24 (1128) or 1792/56 (32).
+Μανώλης Λάρδας Maybe they showed Hans a number when Von Osten wasn't in the room, then asked Von Osten to come in, and asked Hans to repeat the number.
It's interesting how intelligence differs from dog to dog, and some breeds tend to be smarter or differently smart. Like bordercollies who are especially developed to understand speech, because that's what they needed to be when hearding sheep. My family's had dogs that were incredibly stupid and some that understood speech, practised revenge (one dog) and could solve practical "puzzles". A pretty recent study showed that dogs look human faces like humans look eachother, but look dogs like, well, dogs. They tracked their eye movements. So dogs know (instinctively or not) people express themselves differently than dogs.
You should totally do an update on this since we have learned so much since you made this! :) specifically re: dogs being taught how to speak with language pathology buttons & advancements in our understanding of dog's comprehension of expressions and inflections.
My red heeler lived to be almost 14 human years old, and would respond perfectly to anything I asked him to do. Ever since he was 6weeks old I talked to him like a human best friend. Through time I believe he 100% understood every word I said to him . He would tell me no, and shake his head when I was wrong about something. But most importantly, He would have given his life to protect not only me, but my 3 daughters aswell. I've never in my life known of a doggy/ companion equivalent to him
They don’t understand shit, they just remember sounds and know that they will be rewarded if they follow what those sounds mean. If you tell them “sit” they won’t know the definition of sit. They know the sound means lay on their ass.
+Assoholic Bitch actually animals can understand lots of things, dogs can know if your sad by your expressions, actions, voice tone while humans don't understand each other all animals actually know basic math like when they are in a group attacking an another group they know of they are on a disadvantage or advantage why do you think animals are sooo stupid that they don't understand anything on planet earth?
Mimos 91 Nope, they’re just extremely retarded compared to us. Also, no. Dogs cannot understand us. They don’t even know what we’re saying, and it’s a disproved myth that they do, yet humans have decoded almost every animal on earth. Like we understand dogs licking us is kind of what we do when we kiss, but for some retarded reason dogs think that we’re grooming them when we pet them.
My Pug, Porky (RIP 😣) had 2 dishpans loaded with every single toy he had ever received, from puppyhood straight though to adulthood. I named each item when I presented it to him. Even as an adult, he remembered every single one, and would root through the dishpans to fetch the one asked for! From "Piratey Pirate" (his very first toy), to ALL of the ones he had been given throughout the years. (Remember, I named each toy when I gave it to him.) He could differentiate between "tiny pig", "small pig", "medium pig", "Easter pig", and "Porky pig". Along with knowing the difference between "green ball" and "tennis balll"! He had at the very least fifty different toys, yet *never* failed in nosing out the one requested. He could also "say" Mama, Evan (my son's name), and always joined in on the last "you" (ooooo) in the "Happy Birthday" song! I said it then and I still say it now, "Rico, eat your heart out!!" 😄 ❤ 😄
Look at Coco signing her reactions to her first kitten dying when it was hit by a car. She is definitely expressing remorse you can see it the way that she's signing and how emphatic she is and she's saying that she's sad and mad and that the kitten went away. It's pretty amazing. And she didn't get any kind of reward for that. Although a couple months later she was allowed to pick out two more kittens to raise that thankfully we're not able to sneak out of her enclosure.
To survive is to adapt and that goes for everything on the planet. But it's still heart-warming cute😉. Notice the emoji winked at the end ! Remind you of anyone ?
Before I watch a video, here's my prediction of what's actually happening when you speak to your dog: Not only does a dog rely on tones, but memorizes the sound of different words you make, so when you say the word they remember it and know what it means, after a few times of course.
Before the video begins my dog has leaned walkys when she here’s it twice she goes to the bottom drawer of my cupboard and tries to open it to get the dog leash because she remembers where it is.
before I enen start the video the answer is yes definitely if you talk to them like you would another human they will listen more overtime but this is just from my experience i also make sure i tell them i love them every so often
Yes an old video, but made me look at my 16 month GSD. She knows a few simple commands, but goes insane, hyperactive. Lately giving commands, when she does them. No treats. I got a few comments, always give her treats. Context- rescue dog. through several households. Damn nephew sent me a text picture, idiot that I am thought no way I need a dog. First month, she was very timid, and protective. After that, well the half chewed up sofa is hers. The facial expressions. Ears down when being lectured. Or tilting head to side with that dumb look of what.
I like this Gorilla named KOKO, in fact you could say I'm in love with da KOKO.Just don't give KOKO a $20, because KOKO won't hesitate to tuck it in her keepers shorts...
Chaser,the dog learned enough to be considered equal to a three year old human. Most cats are sick of our shit and couldn't care less what we think. More or less equal to a forty two year old human!
When asking the question "can animals understand what we say?", you should first ask the question "can I understand what [insert unknown language, eg. swahili] says?" It's the same thing. Yes animals can understand what we say if they are taught to understand it. The example of the horse is actually a fantastic example of this. The owner was saying something with his facial expressions/body language and the horse understood it perfectly. It's not the horses fault he learnt the wrong stimuli to what was intended.
My cat was poisoned and I struggled getting decent vet treatment to flush her system out. They just wanted to kill my cat. I was in tears and said to her, "I'm going to keep trying to get you help" And she shook her head yes.A vet was so obsessed to kill her she refused to reposition her so she could breath and died right in front of me.
FACTS!!!! dogs respond to tone/pitch of your voice rather than the actual words, you coukd say anything in a happy/ excited voice and they will react happy and excited, you coukd say anything in an angry or aggressive voice and they will act scared/submissive/ sorry
My animal hating friends who refuse to say anything nice to my animal friends generally accept the compromise I offer: using a loving, friendly tone, they may say any vile, nasty thing they like to them. They like it so well that they actually interact with the animals much more! In a friendly, loving coo they say, "Oh, aren't you the ugliest little ball of fur? Yes! I just want to shove you in front of a bus!" Totally works for all parties.
@@TheWidowStewart Ah yes, but when your dog has an injured foot, for example, and you tell him off for chewing it - he will remember your sharp words, find a place out of your sight and chew it in secret. At least that's what my dog did a few weeks ago, and we've had to come up with craftier and craftier ways to protect his foot in order to protect it. Nasty smelling sprays, a dog megaphone cone thingy and a muzzle have all failed - he's worked out how to defy them all (just so that you know, he's about 14 years old and has no previous knowledge of these things). Today, my husband made him a piece of metal armour - yes, leg armour for a dog! - in a last ditch attempt to let his foot heal before winter sets in. Believe me, dogs might look like daft clowns to their equally daft owners, but that's just a ruse. They're smarter than we think. They know what you're saying. Revenge will come for that remark about shoving them in front of a bus.
awesome bro.. even i was planning to start such educational channel but mostly about environment and history and economy... ur my real inspiration...cheers
Now i know why my cellmate is called ''Hans the Horsedick'', but i'm not sure if the 'dick' is an insult or something... ah well, its shower time, i'll see you guys later
Funny you say that. My small little dog Tina loved walking and would get all hyper if I mentioned it, after a while I noticed that when I thought of taking her for a walk she got excited! I mentioned this to my sister who said no I was giving her cues in some way or another. From then on I was careful not to change anything but she still got excited when I thought of taking her for a walk. My sister thought I was nuts UNTIL she came and lived with me for a while and little Tina surprised her too! We still don't know how she could know?
Not really. If I were to guess it's probably similar to how dogs do it. Dogs evolved to recognize facial expressions in humans so it's really a guessing like when you teach a dog to sit and lay down.
We don't know if it was a sexual thing or not for the gorilla, it very well could have been a fascination kind of fetish. The women sued the zoo for firing them over not exposing themselves to "bond" with the gorilla, not because the gorilla asked to see their nips.
Once we took in a stray dog. She was chased away from everywhere, but we gave her food once. From that moment, she stayed with us until the end of her life... We realised, she always pays attention when we speak. Nobody taught her anything, but when I said "you have to stay home", she stopped at the gate and watched me leaving. Once when I entered our street on the way back home she immediately noticed me from far away and ran to greet me. If I said, "Go catch the birds!" she started to chase them while barking happily. If I said "Go there!" and pointed to a direction, she walked there and checked my reaction if she's at the right place. She never chased cats, until we told her to do. :D It's not like she was a really extraordinary dog, but special to us.
In my experience with dogs, they learn the best when they are simply talked to, with no expectations. I never trained my dog (he's also adopted from the streets when he was just 2.5 months old), I simply talked to him like I would talk to a child that can't speak yet - very simple sentences and words. In literally NO time, my dog started understanding a lot of words, learned a bunch of things he was never taught (like, to walk on the sidewalk and not on the street, and to cross the street only over a zebra, for example). He was also very attentive to us when we spoke and observant of our behaviour. I noticed that mixed breeds and dogs adopted from the street have a much more developed capacity for understanding humans in general.
I've found many dogs are good at listening to your body language. I've told hyper dogs I've just met (the overly happy to see you kind) to just "go that way" when trying to get them to go back to their owners or their yard or wherever. I agree you just shouldnt expect too much, and they'll surprise you. If you do train with expectation, you have to be positive and purposeful about it, or they wont take you seriously. And my gosh the amount of personality types you can get out of different dogs or cats is so ridiculously wide if you know what to look for. So some dont listen to the point, but some do. And some know and just dont care. Though thats usually cats but ALL my cats are exception to this. They react like human children sometimes in response to both love and discipline.
@@Kate-is5mz You are right, my dog behaves the same way...I never had to train her, I just let her be a dog and figure it out by herself...she is so happy and intelligent with a very strong instinct towards other people, I really love her so much, and she loves everybody that I trust, but if I'm uncomfortable with someone she knows instantly...dogs are so smart
@@tomhill3248 yeah The mere fact it understands where you point and follow it, is a sign of intelligence. I have a blood hound, and he doesn’t get when I point...he just looks at my finger , lol
Some birds and other animals for that matter can definitely talk a tiny bit... My family has an African Grey Parrot and it can definitely speak and understand a small amount of English
My bird says bye bye when. You leave. He also sometimes say it when he should say hello. Same thing with hello. Though he really just likes saying those words.
@@j-soccerking629 Nice one Jey, nearly lost the coffee down the ol' schnozzle...lol also reminds of the Cockatoo that told or rather screamed at its' new cage-neighbour, a younger Cockatoo who had decided to raise all hell at 4am to... "shut the fuck up...!!!" There was a resounding silence, so... They understand alright, goddamn I'm still chuckling at that :o) thx, Paz.
+Babalooza I was thinking just the same. However Vsauce will always be my favorite, not only for the nostalgia, but because he always gets me thinking a lot on the subject of his videos, and making assumptions in my mind weeks after i've seen his videos; meanwhile Thouthy2, who is completely awesome too, just doesn't succed to catch my mind with his subjects for more than one or two hours. Nonetheless, I love both of them. I wish they keep making this videos for a very long time.
@@MoeSlislack its a bit more complicated then that the although the whale sounded very little like a human the waveforms of what it said were the exact same as humans.
He gets the basics and those are what matter most. Humans are so smart they know so many things, sometimes, they forget things, even the basics. Dogs don't forget the basics.
@DangerX6 Angel9 Sometimes. Your dog is smarter then you when it comes to digging, hunting small creatures, and judging a persons character. He is smarter then you when it comes to those specific things. Also bone chewing techniques.
@DangerX6 Angel9 Yeah we can't go out and survive in the wild indefinately, you know why that is? It's because we literarly conquered and shaped the wild to a point where we don't need to know how to survive within the original version of it. Sure, animals are far more intelligent than people give them credit for, but when it comes to who is the most intelligent species on the planet, there is no doubt that it's humans. If you disagree, name me one animal capable of creating antibiotics and vaccines for combating lethal diseases. One scratch can kill a bear in the wilds, but it's nothing to us. How about naming an animal capable of understanding advanced mathematics or physics? Animals capable of constructing cars and airplanes? There are none. You're also wrong about us not understanding animals at all. We understand quite a lot about many other species and their line of thinkning. Psychologists and sociologists have been studying and correctly predicting animal behaviour for decades. We can correctly deduce most dog, cat, mouse, rat and monkey behaviour before they are even presented with an issue. The only thing we don't understand is their actual language, for now. Meanwhile, most of what we say is likely not understood by animals either. If you walk up to your dog and start telling it about your day, it won't understand that your coworker was being a dick or that you took a sick leave or that you asked that hot chick next door out. The only thing it will understand is your emotional state and maybe one or two words you say (like quick or sit).
@DangerX6 Angel9 Mate, did you really just need over 2000 words just to say "tuh Bible says you wrong, I don't care what scientists say, you is wrong." Seriously. You are either the most commited troll ever or you're the stupidest person I've ever talked to online and that's saying something. Perhaps you have a point. Most animals are certainly more intelligent than YOU. So, here's my rebuttal. Firstly, I have read the Bible. All of it. The Bible claims that man is made in God's image to dominate all other species. Are you saying God's image is dumber than most animals? That's not very Christian of you. According to Christianity, animals are not intelligent. They have no free will and no souls. Thay are sacrificed regularily because they are worth infinately less than humans. This is one of the many reasons why the Bible (and Chrostianity) is garbage, but you certainly can't use it to prove your point mate. Read your own damn book before you speak. Your other points all boil down to "you is wrong because I say so" and "I don't care what science says." Well, if I'm wrong, what are your arguments for it? Just your word? Well, in that case, I know you are secretly gay and into sex with animals. My evidence for this is my word. See how that doesn't work as an actual argument? The Bible does not agree with you either for the reasons I've already mentioned. If you're Christian, you're an embarassment to your faith. And as for you saying "I don't care what psychologists or sociologists say, they can't do it." Guess what sweetheart? You not caring about what they say doesn't make them wrong. They have already demonstrated that they can do this. If it's raining, does you saying that you don't care about what your senses say make the rain go away? No, it doesn't. This conversation is probably one of the most useless thkngs I've ever done. After all, in imbecile like you will never learn. Fuck you for wasting my time, educate yourself and goodbye.
Paw Slinky! Fetch Slinky! ...kill Slinky. Chase looks up at his master. There is no choice but to commit the act, he has never learned a life other than obedience and discipline.
It can be interpreted that Von Austen tried to teach a WILD bear. Now imagine a guy holding a blackboard with 1+1=2 written on it running after a bear.
A bear raised by humans would be surprisingly capable. And the more generations of this would increase their ability. Besides the dogs social skills a bear would be a bigger, smarter dog.
@XAVIER exactly, look at the varying sizes of breasts on humans.... then compare that with gorillas. id say it was more of a curiosity thing than a sexual thing. not saying id whip my dick out because it wants to study it but... i understand its point over the ladies point to sue for sexual harassment lol.
Total Spoof: Yes he was. Socially smart. Intelligence comes in many forms, and our fellow mammals often possess a high degree of social intelligence. They read other animals like books. Humans do not always understand the power of non-verbal communication. Horses can't discuss politics, but they sure as shootin' know whether you mean them harm, are pleased with them, or want them to go away. These are just the basics, sure, but they get them right every time. Humans rely on and trust in words. And that is one reason we are so easily misled. You cannot fool a dog or a horse--it will see you and your intentions for what you and they are every time. And that's the truth.
One time my brother's dog was outside and wouldn't come back in. I had the back door open and my dog was next to me looking out back with me. I told Jack to go get Bentley. Jack went out to the first step and turned around and looked at me. I said again to bring Bentley back in. Jack took off and I thought now both of them are out there. Jack ran around the backyard once and Bentley ran after him. Jack ran back inside and Bentley followed. It took Jack 30 seconds to get him back in. Another time I was talking with a friend about how good Jack is. I told this person that I swear Jack knows what I'm saying. The friend told me to tell him to do something but I can't look at him or change the tone of my voice. In the same tone that I was talking to my friend and as I was looking at my friend I said, "Come sit next to me, Jack." He jumped up on the couch and sat next to me and my friend FREAKED out. My friend went crazy. It was hilarious.
Even though the clever hans effect was good to study intelligence in animals i think it has left the impression that animals cant do more complicated tasks than what they can naturally do which often discourages people from even trying to teach their pet anything. A UA-camr known as "K'eyush the stunt dog" makes videos on her Siberian husky and the dog and recognise a whole bunch of words and can supposedly argue with his owner. The whole channel is very wholesome and displays the intelligence of dogs. When he is called fat he get's upset and disagrees, He can slightly pronounce the word waffles when the owner makes waffles and talk about it. He also understand the word "bowl" so that if he wants to get his waffles he has to fetch his bowl first. It is very impressive, This isn't just for a dog though. A video somewhere on UA-cam shows a women telling her parrot to "kiss" and can do the motion of kissing someone on the cheek and make the "muuwah" sound when kissing. Truly magnificent.
I have a rescue dog and I had a foster dog as well. And when I would be out walking them together and my dog would go to far I could tell the foster to go get squeek and he would run up to him and push him in my diraction. Also if one was not listening to me the other one would go infromt of the other and bark in his face as is to give out😂❤. I also had to to teach them 'not yours' for toys so they left eachothers toys alone. Dogs are awesome!❤
Lol my grandfather used to tell his dog bath in Ukrainian (he said "koupi koupi") and the dog would hide. One day he reversed it by saying "pikou" and the dog still took off to hide. No way was she having a bath if she could help it, no matter what he called it!
Border Cookies are absolutely the best dogs in the world. I had mine for over 13 years. On hot days we'd go to the beach. I'd let her out my car and she'd line up behind the children at the ice-cream van for a 99 (I got the chocolate flakes).
I once brought home a stray mutt, who went into the garbage when left alone in the house. He had to get the cabinet under the kitchen sink open to get at it... which he likely achieved through sheer persistence. Another time we were going out, my father thought to move the garbage can up onto the counter, tucked into the corner of the fridge and the wall, so that it would be "out of reach". To gain access to the garbage, the dog had to formulate the plan of going into the next room (the den), use the couch to gain access to the passthrough window, cross the stove and sink and go to the other end of the counter.
My dog was able to figure out how to open 4 types of doors on her own, she taught herself tricks because she knew she would get praised for impressing us, she knows what we say like, food, walk, outside, blanket, play, sissy, mommy, daddy, and Daniel, she can move objects around the room to get into something, she can pick pocket you, she can tell when we locked the cage and when we just shut it, she has learned our patterns and can problem solve, and she has trained us to her patterns by repeating specific behaviors at specific times and places. My dog is smart, i dont care what other people think
no one ever said a dog is stupid without anger involved lol, learning patterns and tricks and whatnot that reward them is a good reason to learn them. most dogs can associate simple 1-2 syllable words with an activity or thing.... hence why they say try and name your dog something under 3 syllables as its easier for them to catch on. again this is all visual and auditory clues for your dog.... if that isnt smart idk what is, but whether they cognitively understand why and what they do for what reasons, or not, is currently a debate lol.
Yeah, I have a border collie/husky mix (I think) He has figured out how to open doors, oh god the problems that has caused (Dog opens the door middle of the night in fucking winter.)
My grandparents' dog learned how to open the door by himself so they got pissed and locked the door. When he tried to open it again and he couldn't, he gave us this confused look, like there was some sort of simple cognitive thinking behind of ''why''
Sexual harrasment doesn't exist in nature.. look at ducks/etc. it's only human males who is head-over for human females.. all male ducks rape female ducks.. etc. if it doesn't rape there isn't a right order.. look at hyenas.. nearly extinct and nonsical male harassment.. just saying..
@@niklashansen820 so the squirrel chasing the other squirrel too rape... it isnt attempted rape just because its a critter? its still rape, just you cant send critters to jail for it LOL.
I have a Border Collie, and believe me, this is accurate. The dog is SMART. Almost too smart. He uses it for evil sometimes... Sometimes he takes my shoe because he knows that it would make me throw a toy at him to get him to drop it. Now, he does it to get me to throw toys. CLEVER DOG.
We also have good ways of communication, too. He understands some words I say, and the emotions we're pretraying. He responds remarkably to hand gestures. I always use hand gestures, I always have. He understands them scarily well, and I have studied wolf and dog body language a whole lot so I can understand him most the time, as well. He's awesome.
True that, I have a border collie aswell but what I'm most impressed with is how fast he learns. When I hold a treat in front of him and do nothing, he sometimes does every trick i've ever taught him.
You should punish him/her rather than reward. You dont get free candy for stealing a car do you? Give reward for good things and punish for bad things. Just like humans
+Xamnition What could I do? Hit him? Yeah, doing that is different than with humans. All that does is put fear in him. I've done it before. I've hit him so hard he whined. I'll never forgive myself. He's the only thing I have.
Hit him lightly with a newspaper or just show dissappointment. Never reward for something bad, that will encourage to do it again. And definetly dont be violent lol, thats illegal
Just like Jackie Chan in Rush Hour. Chris Tucker tells him to follow his lead, Chris Tucker greats people in the bar with "wassup ma nigga?". The minute Jackie Chan is by himself, he tries the same thing, and unintentionally instigates a fight.

"Von Osten was shocked at this revelation"
That's how you know he was a good scientist (mathematician rather) as anyone who cares about knowledge isnt afraid to show surprise when they are wrong.
If this Wilhelm was a quack, he would've argued incessantly with the psychologist doing the controlled study, and then wrote an article about how his chi could knock the psychologist over without touching him

Well *of course* a horse is better than you at math. You're shaking your head instead of using it!
I think some animals can sense emotions. Like if you scold a dog, they can sense the anger and understand that they've done something wrong.
yeah no shit. The question was if they understand human language.. Its obvious they read body language. Dogs are pack hunters and rely on body language and communication with each other in order to hunt. Being able to sense how you're feeling is something most animals can do. That has nothing to do with this video, though.
I remember hearing a news story on NPR years ago and I think it was talking about that specifically. The reaction they have isn't because they know they did something wrong, it's a reaction because it thinks you are upset and feel sympathetic for you, not upset at itself.
I'm too lazy to google this but I remember hearing about it. It was years ago and I could have just twisted the words without knowing. It makes sense though because they will just keep doing the same thing again even if you scold them not to when they do.
***** Sorry, its possible im just taking my knowledge for granted but OF COURSEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.... Thats like th first fucking thing you're taught in vet nursing classes.. Animals are incredibly sensitive to human emotion and body language. Its why body language specialists can so easily control an animals behavour. You people have no idea. Your minds are barely scraping the barrel of how much we have learned and yet you're trying to talk about it like "oh I saw an article a while ago" you sound like morons.
Jordanious77 LMFAO holy shit you got so tilted
First of all I didn't say that was the truth, it just something that I have heard. You just assumed that was what I believed. It was something interesting about the topic and I was sharing it. Calm down.
Not every animal (including pets) can just understand everything you say or do, that can include body language. They can misinterpret things. If you are yelling at them and pointing they might think you are excited about something. For instance, my aunts dog will literally growl and be aggresive as hell towards you if you laugh. Only when you laugh. The dog just misinterprets it. Something probably just happened where it heard laughter and had a negative experience so it ties laughter to that, but I'm making a point.
If anything you sound like a fucking idiot trying to tell me what I can and can't say. There is obviously way more to it, but this thing I heard was years ago and it was all I have ever heard on the topic. It doesn't mean that is what I 100% believe, my opinion is still open and I am willing to change it.
Next time think before you speak, and don't just assume that is what I believed because I did use the word "think" and not "know".
Also why the hell are you saying "You people" like your some illuminati conspiracy lunatic? Calm down.
I had this chow/shepard mix for many years. Best dog in the world.
My mom has never liked animals, doesn't want them near her. Hates the thought of touching them.
My dog would greet everybody else by coming up and touching them with her paw however she never did this with my mom. She was the first animal EVER let in my mom's house simply because she seemed to know not to try and touch her and kept her distance... she didn't do this with any other human.
My dad had died several years earlier but my mom still had bad days over it.
One day I almost fell out because I came home from work and my mom was petting my dog...actually touching her!
She said that she was sitting in her chair crying quite a bit that day and my dog came over and sat near her but not too close. Then, very very gently touched her nose to my mom's hand. She kept nuzzling her a bit more and finally pushed her head under my mom's hand. Mom quit crying and started to rub her head. My dog then got free run of the house, her own comfy living room chair and part of whatever mom was eating from then on. She still won't touch any other animal though.
15:24 So what? She sued Coco or the animal park or whatever was holding Coco? That is so stupid. Suing a gorilla for wanting to see her nipples... I guess she sued her own dog when it was peeking at her in the shower, or the neighbours dog when it was peeking inside her bedroom window...
Yeah, thats my guess as well

I am positive animals understand. We can understand when an animal is in distress or happy, so why wouldn't they understand aswell? You can ask animals things and they can respond. I have a parrot t who speaks, she will say certain words when she is doing certain actions. If we turn the music up, she will yell dance and Bob her head. Or if you cry, your dogs try's to lick and console you. If people still think animals aren't aware, then I pity them.
+Payton Godon Understanding is completely different to copying a predisposed (re)action
Ah yes, because humans lick and whine when they're sad or excited? How about when they become depressed after a loved one dies? That is not just copying behaviour. It's already been proven they feel empathy and have the emotional capacity of a 4 year old. They also show affection, jealousy, sadness, excitement among many others. Sorry, they aren't copying.. Also, even puppies show emotions and they haven't been exposed to every emotion. Your way of thinking is why animals are being abused.. Let me guess, you think elephants, Dolphins and apes just copy human emotions? Because, you know emotions are only exclusive to humans.. Smh

How could Von Osten, a highschool mathematics teacher, not know something, while Hans, a horse, was expected to know it? I mean, if Hans should be able to calculate something, shouldn't it be relatively easy, so that Von Osten would have calculated it before Hans? Also, I suppose that they didn't really expect Hans to calculate, for example, the square root of 729 (27) or 47*24 (1128) or 1792/56 (32).
+Μανώλης Λάρδας
Maybe they showed Hans a number when Von Osten wasn't in the room, then asked Von Osten to come in, and asked Hans to repeat the number.
It's interesting how intelligence differs from dog to dog, and some breeds tend to be smarter or differently smart. Like bordercollies who are especially developed to understand speech, because that's what they needed to be when hearding sheep. My family's had dogs that were incredibly stupid and some that understood speech, practised revenge (one dog) and could solve practical "puzzles".
A pretty recent study showed that dogs look human faces like humans look eachother, but look dogs like, well, dogs. They tracked their eye movements. So dogs know (instinctively or not) people express themselves differently than dogs.
You should totally do an update on this since we have learned so much since you made this! :) specifically re: dogs being taught how to speak with language pathology buttons & advancements in our understanding of dog's comprehension of expressions and inflections.
My red heeler lived to be almost 14 human years old, and would respond perfectly to anything I asked him to do. Ever since he was 6weeks old I talked to him like a human best friend. Through time I believe he 100% understood every word I said to him . He would tell me no, and shake his head when I was wrong about something. But most importantly, He would have given his life to protect not only me, but my 3 daughters aswell. I've never in my life known of a doggy/ companion equivalent to him
Animals are very intelligent. My service dog understands commands in american sign language, english, and Portuguese
my dog understand several sentences in both finnish and swedish.
They don’t understand shit, they just remember sounds and know that they will be rewarded if they follow what those sounds mean. If you tell them “sit” they won’t know the definition of sit. They know the sound means lay on their ass.
+Assoholic Bitch actually animals can understand lots of things, dogs can know if your sad by your expressions, actions, voice tone while humans don't understand each other all animals actually know basic math like when they are in a group attacking an another group they know of they are on a disadvantage or advantage why do you think animals are sooo stupid that they don't understand anything on planet earth?
Mimos 91
Nope, they’re just extremely retarded compared to us. Also, no. Dogs cannot understand us. They don’t even know what we’re saying, and it’s a disproved myth that they do, yet humans have decoded almost every animal on earth.
Like we understand dogs licking us is kind of what we do when we kiss, but for some retarded reason dogs think that we’re grooming them when we pet them.
Assoholic Bitch "They know the sound means lay on their ass." That literally means the dog understands what sit means...
Having had the great privilege of owning a number of dogs in my life, I'm convinced that a form of telepathy develops between us.

My Pug, Porky (RIP 😣) had 2 dishpans loaded with every single toy he had ever received, from puppyhood straight though to adulthood. I named each item when I presented it to him. Even as an adult, he remembered every single one, and would root through the dishpans to fetch the one asked for! From "Piratey Pirate" (his very first toy), to ALL of the ones he had been given throughout the years. (Remember, I named each toy when I gave it to him.) He could differentiate between "tiny pig", "small pig", "medium pig", "Easter pig", and "Porky pig". Along with knowing the difference between "green ball" and "tennis balll"! He had at the very least fifty different toys, yet *never* failed in nosing out the one requested.
He could also "say" Mama, Evan (my son's name), and always joined in on the last "you" (ooooo) in the "Happy Birthday" song!
I said it then and I still say it now, "Rico, eat your heart out!!" 😄 ❤ 😄
Look at Coco signing her reactions to her first kitten dying when it was hit by a car. She is definitely expressing remorse you can see it the way that she's signing and how emphatic she is and she's saying that she's sad and mad and that the kitten went away. It's pretty amazing. And she didn't get any kind of reward for that. Although a couple months later she was allowed to pick out two more kittens to raise that thankfully we're not able to sneak out of her enclosure.

Before I watch a video, here's my prediction of what's actually happening when you speak to your dog:
Not only does a dog rely on tones, but memorizes the sound of different words you make, so when you say the word they remember it and know what it means, after a few times of course.
fun fact: koko also had pets which she was able to name and was able to understand when her first pet kitten died and express sorrow
I mean the horse was kind of a genius picking up on signals like that
Before the video begins my dog has leaned walkys when she here’s it twice she goes to the bottom drawer of my cupboard and tries to open it to get the dog leash because she remembers where it is.
A three-year-old child can memorise 1,000 items and perform one of three verbs on each, 100% of the time? GTFOH 10:03
I bet dogs could differentiate “there, they’re, their” quicker than many humans, too. Props to them.
when I say search....my dog searches for unfamiliar humans and tries to attack them
before I enen start the video
the answer is yes definitely
if you talk to them like you would another human they will listen more overtime but this is just from my experience
i also make sure i tell them i love them every so often
Yes an old video, but made me look at my 16 month GSD. She knows a few simple commands, but goes insane, hyperactive. Lately giving commands, when she does them. No treats. I got a few comments, always give her treats. Context- rescue dog. through several households. Damn nephew sent me a text picture, idiot that I am thought no way I need a dog. First month, she was very timid, and protective. After that, well the half chewed up sofa is hers. The facial expressions. Ears down when being lectured. Or tilting head to side with that dumb look of what.
I like this Gorilla named KOKO, in fact you could say I'm in love with da KOKO.Just don't give KOKO a $20, because KOKO won't hesitate to tuck it in her keepers shorts...

Chaser,the dog learned enough to be considered equal to a three year old human. Most cats are sick of our shit and couldn't care less what we think. More or less equal to a forty two year old human!

5 years later I'm randomly getting this as recommended
When asking the question "can animals understand what we say?", you should first ask the question "can I understand what [insert unknown language, eg. swahili] says?"
It's the same thing. Yes animals can understand what we say if they are taught to understand it.
The example of the horse is actually a fantastic example of this. The owner was saying something with his facial expressions/body language and the horse understood it perfectly. It's not the horses fault he learnt the wrong stimuli to what was intended.
I was disappointed that you did not include the African Grey (parrot) and the Crow family of birds.
My cat was poisoned and I struggled getting decent vet treatment to flush her system out. They just wanted to kill my cat. I was in tears and said to her, "I'm going to keep trying to get you help" And she shook her head yes.A vet was so obsessed to kill her she refused to reposition her so she could breath and died right in front of me.
I'm now going to call my engagement ring an "engagement finger bracelet"
that's still very impressive, how that horse could read its handler body language.
I dunno my Siberian husky loves back talking, and she's way to damn smart for my sanity.
Dogs rely on tones. I told my dog in a cheery tone that I would sell him to a Chinese wet market and he was so happy.
Thanks for Dogona dogid-20
FACTS!!!! dogs respond to tone/pitch of your voice rather than the actual words, you coukd say anything in a happy/ excited voice and they will react happy and excited, you coukd say anything in an angry or aggressive voice and they will act scared/submissive/ sorry
My animal hating friends who refuse to say anything nice to my animal friends generally accept the compromise I offer: using a loving, friendly tone, they may say any vile, nasty thing they like to them. They like it so well that they actually interact with the animals much more! In a friendly, loving coo they say, "Oh, aren't you the ugliest little ball of fur? Yes! I just want to shove you in front of a bus!" Totally works for all parties.
Nasty thought
@@TheWidowStewart Ah yes, but when your dog has an injured foot, for example, and you tell him off for chewing it - he will remember your sharp words, find a place out of your sight and chew it in secret.
At least that's what my dog did a few weeks ago, and we've had to come up with craftier and craftier ways to protect his foot in order to protect it. Nasty smelling sprays, a dog megaphone cone thingy and a muzzle have all failed - he's worked out how to defy them all (just so that you know, he's about 14 years old and has no previous knowledge of these things).
Today, my husband made him a piece of metal armour - yes, leg armour for a dog! - in a last ditch attempt to let his foot heal before winter sets in.
Believe me, dogs might look like daft clowns to their equally daft owners, but that's just a ruse. They're smarter than we think. They know what you're saying. Revenge will come for that remark about shoving them in front of a bus.

Based
Once we took in a stray dog. She was chased away from everywhere, but we gave her food once. From that moment, she stayed with us until the end of her life...
We realised, she always pays attention when we speak. Nobody taught her anything, but when I said "you have to stay home", she stopped at the gate and watched me leaving. Once when I entered our street on the way back home she immediately noticed me from far away and ran to greet me. If I said, "Go catch the birds!" she started to chase them while barking happily. If I said "Go there!" and pointed to a direction, she walked there and checked my reaction if she's at the right place. She never chased cats, until we told her to do. :D
It's not like she was a really extraordinary dog, but special to us.
She sounds extraordinary to me. You tell her to go somewhere are she does it? That's pretty good for a dog.
In my experience with dogs, they learn the best when they are simply talked to, with no expectations. I never trained my dog (he's also adopted from the streets when he was just 2.5 months old), I simply talked to him like I would talk to a child that can't speak yet - very simple sentences and words. In literally NO time, my dog started understanding a lot of words, learned a bunch of things he was never taught (like, to walk on the sidewalk and not on the street, and to cross the street only over a zebra, for example). He was also very attentive to us when we spoke and observant of our behaviour.
I noticed that mixed breeds and dogs adopted from the street have a much more developed capacity for understanding humans in general.
I've found many dogs are good at listening to your body language. I've told hyper dogs I've just met (the overly happy to see you kind) to just "go that way" when trying to get them to go back to their owners or their yard or wherever.
I agree you just shouldnt expect too much, and they'll surprise you. If you do train with expectation, you have to be positive and purposeful about it, or they wont take you seriously.
And my gosh the amount of personality types you can get out of different dogs or cats is so ridiculously wide if you know what to look for. So some dont listen to the point, but some do. And some know and just dont care. Though thats usually cats but ALL my cats are exception to this. They react like human children sometimes in response to both love and discipline.
@@Kate-is5mz You are right, my dog behaves the same way...I never had to train her, I just let her be a dog and figure it out by herself...she is so happy and intelligent with a very strong instinct towards other people, I really love her so much, and she loves everybody that I trust, but if I'm uncomfortable with someone she knows instantly...dogs are so smart

@DangerX6 Angel9 lol
He gets the basics and those are what matter most. Humans are so smart they know so many things, sometimes, they forget things, even the basics. Dogs don't forget the basics.
@DangerX6 Angel9 Sometimes. Your dog is smarter then you when it comes to digging, hunting small creatures, and judging a persons character. He is smarter then you when it comes to those specific things. Also bone chewing techniques.
@DangerX6 Angel9 Yeah we can't go out and survive in the wild indefinately, you know why that is? It's because we literarly conquered and shaped the wild to a point where we don't need to know how to survive within the original version of it.
Sure, animals are far more intelligent than people give them credit for, but when it comes to who is the most intelligent species on the planet, there is no doubt that it's humans.
If you disagree, name me one animal capable of creating antibiotics and vaccines for combating lethal diseases. One scratch can kill a bear in the wilds, but it's nothing to us. How about naming an animal capable of understanding advanced mathematics or physics? Animals capable of constructing cars and airplanes? There are none.
You're also wrong about us not understanding animals at all. We understand quite a lot about many other species and their line of thinkning. Psychologists and sociologists have been studying and correctly predicting animal behaviour for decades. We can correctly deduce most dog, cat, mouse, rat and monkey behaviour before they are even presented with an issue. The only thing we don't understand is their actual language, for now.
Meanwhile, most of what we say is likely not understood by animals either. If you walk up to your dog and start telling it about your day, it won't understand that your coworker was being a dick or that you took a sick leave or that you asked that hot chick next door out. The only thing it will understand is your emotional state and maybe one or two words you say (like quick or sit).
@DangerX6 Angel9 Mate, did you really just need over 2000 words just to say "tuh Bible says you wrong, I don't care what scientists say, you is wrong."
Seriously. You are either the most commited troll ever or you're the stupidest person I've ever talked to online and that's saying something. Perhaps you have a point. Most animals are certainly more intelligent than YOU.
So, here's my rebuttal.
Firstly, I have read the Bible. All of it. The Bible claims that man is made in God's image to dominate all other species. Are you saying God's image is dumber than most animals? That's not very Christian of you. According to Christianity, animals are not intelligent. They have no free will and no souls. Thay are sacrificed regularily because they are worth infinately less than humans. This is one of the many reasons why the Bible (and Chrostianity) is garbage, but you certainly can't use it to prove your point mate. Read your own damn book before you speak.
Your other points all boil down to "you is wrong because I say so" and "I don't care what science says."
Well, if I'm wrong, what are your arguments for it? Just your word? Well, in that case, I know you are secretly gay and into sex with animals. My evidence for this is my word. See how that doesn't work as an actual argument? The Bible does not agree with you either for the reasons I've already mentioned. If you're Christian, you're an embarassment to your faith.
And as for you saying "I don't care what psychologists or sociologists say, they can't do it." Guess what sweetheart? You not caring about what they say doesn't make them wrong. They have already demonstrated that they can do this. If it's raining, does you saying that you don't care about what your senses say make the rain go away? No, it doesn't.
This conversation is probably one of the most useless thkngs I've ever done. After all, in imbecile like you will never learn. Fuck you for wasting my time, educate yourself and goodbye.
i still haven't figured out how communicate effectively with women yet.. i always get the bear type results.

Its easy, just show them some money. It works every time...
That is a mystery that science will never get right lol...

The cat and bear being taught mathematics acted exactly how one would expect them to.
And lying Hans was also just another dumb animal wasting time and effort
solmoman Hans proved himself to be smart
It can be interpreted that Von Austen tried to teach a WILD bear. Now imagine a guy holding a blackboard with 1+1=2 written on it running after a bear.
A bear raised by humans would be surprisingly capable. And the more generations of this would increase their ability. Besides the dogs social skills a bear would be a bigger, smarter dog.
For some reasons I'm not surprised cats are not interested in math 😂
Koko was probably confused because we wear clothes and she doesn't.
Does that mean Koko has to register as a sex offender ?
+Michael Harris yea?
@XAVIER exactly, look at the varying sizes of breasts on humans.... then compare that with gorillas. id say it was more of a curiosity thing than a sexual thing. not saying id whip my dick out because it wants to study it but... i understand its point over the ladies point to sue for sexual harassment lol.
This was my thought as well, she did not understand why we walked around covered in cloth.
To be honest, the fact the horse could understand expressions is impressive enough

Why?
Human beings first developed the ability to read body language long before the spoken word.

That horse was still pretty awesome. Extremely smart
Total Spoof That fact that it was picking on signals its owner doesn't realize he was giving out is still impressive as hell
I agree, the fact it could read its owner like that is pretty amazing in itself
Smart like a toddler
Total Spoof: Yes he was. Socially smart. Intelligence comes in many forms, and our fellow mammals often possess a high degree of social intelligence. They read other animals like books.
Humans do not always understand the power of non-verbal communication. Horses can't discuss politics, but they sure as shootin' know whether you mean them harm, are pleased with them, or want them to go away. These are just the basics, sure, but they get them right every time. Humans rely on and trust in words. And that is one reason we are so easily misled.
You cannot fool a dog or a horse--it will see you and your intentions for what you and they are every time. And that's the truth.
Koko has actually learned to lie. that take actual cognition.
I have a theory on why the bear was hostile:
•small room
•American education system
I get that you are going for a joke, but still it was in Germany so it kinda falls flat :/

makes sense to me
Except the instructor was in Germany lmao
Clever boy! You can understand human sentence structure on youtube
Koko has eventually been arrested after a massive metoo protest.

@@UltimatePowa Thanks Sherlock!
One time my brother's dog was outside and wouldn't come back in. I had the back door open and my dog was next to me looking out back with me. I told Jack to go get Bentley. Jack went out to the first step and turned around and looked at me. I said again to bring Bentley back in. Jack took off and I thought now both of them are out there. Jack ran around the backyard once and Bentley ran after him. Jack ran back inside and Bentley followed. It took Jack 30 seconds to get him back in.
Another time I was talking with a friend about how good Jack is. I told this person that I swear Jack knows what I'm saying. The friend told me to tell him to do something but I can't look at him or change the tone of my voice. In the same tone that I was talking to my friend and as I was looking at my friend I said, "Come sit next to me, Jack." He jumped up on the couch and sat next to me and my friend FREAKED out. My friend went crazy. It was hilarious.
Even though the clever hans effect was good to study intelligence in animals i think it has left the impression that animals cant do more complicated tasks than what they can naturally do which often discourages people from even trying to teach their pet anything.
A UA-camr known as "K'eyush the stunt dog" makes videos on her Siberian husky and the dog and recognise a whole bunch of words and can supposedly argue with his owner. The whole channel is very wholesome and displays the intelligence of dogs. When he is called fat he get's upset and disagrees, He can slightly pronounce the word waffles when the owner makes waffles and talk about it. He also understand the word "bowl" so that if he wants to get his waffles he has to fetch his bowl first.
It is very impressive, This isn't just for a dog though. A video somewhere on UA-cam shows a women telling her parrot to "kiss" and can do the motion of kissing someone on the cheek and make the "muuwah" sound when kissing.
Truly magnificent.
I have a rescue dog and I had a foster dog as well. And when I would be out walking them together and my dog would go to far I could tell the foster to go get squeek and he would run up to him and push him in my diraction. Also if one was not listening to me the other one would go infromt of the other and bark in his face as is to give out😂❤. I also had to to teach them 'not yours' for toys so they left eachothers toys alone. Dogs are awesome!❤
Another time I got this trumpet & LOL.
Dogs "get" the concept of pointing. That is damned impressive.
Seriously, most toddlers can barely grasp that
everytime my cousin say to her dog "Take a bath time!" the dog hides
Ezra Batarao Then why does she tell him?
Lol my grandfather used to tell his dog bath in Ukrainian (he said "koupi koupi") and the dog would hide. One day he reversed it by saying "pikou" and the dog still took off to hide. No way was she having a bath if she could help it, no matter what he called it!
SAMEEEEE MY DOG DOES THIS TOO
Try telling a dog they are going to the vet.
My dog runs when I mention my father’s name.
Border Collies are remarkably intelligent. We had one for 17 years and I swear, if she had opposable thumbs she could have ruled the world.
Border Cookies are absolutely the best dogs in the world. I had mine for over 13 years. On hot days we'd go to the beach. I'd let her out my car and she'd line up behind the children at the ice-cream van for a 99 (I got the chocolate flakes).
if anyone ruin the 69th like, i will kill you in your sleep.
Mood - Come at me bro.
Because like all species, dog breeds too are different in their genetic traits. They are born more intelligent than pitbulls, on average.
Perhaps it is just you who is dumb?
We had Border Collie that figured out a child lock on the refrigerator. He would open at will and selectively feast.
RIP Buddy :)
👍
I once brought home a stray mutt, who went into the garbage when left alone in the house. He had to get the cabinet under the kitchen sink open to get at it... which he likely achieved through sheer persistence.
Another time we were going out, my father thought to move the garbage can up onto the counter, tucked into the corner of the fridge and the wall, so that it would be "out of reach".
To gain access to the garbage, the dog had to formulate the plan of going into the next room (the den), use the couch to gain access to the passthrough window, cross the stove and sink and go to the other end of the counter.
"Tried to teach mathematics to a bear", famous last words. Pretty sure bears have killed people for less.
Many kids get bored and annoyed in math class. Why should a bear be different?
Kinda gives new meaning to "algebra will never help me in life."
My dog was able to figure out how to open 4 types of doors on her own, she taught herself tricks because she knew she would get praised for impressing us, she knows what we say like, food, walk, outside, blanket, play, sissy, mommy, daddy, and Daniel, she can move objects around the room to get into something, she can pick pocket you, she can tell when we locked the cage and when we just shut it, she has learned our patterns and can problem solve, and she has trained us to her patterns by repeating specific behaviors at specific times and places.
My dog is smart, i dont care what other people think
no one ever said a dog is stupid without anger involved lol, learning patterns and tricks and whatnot that reward them is a good reason to learn them. most dogs can associate simple 1-2 syllable words with an activity or thing.... hence why they say try and name your dog something under 3 syllables as its easier for them to catch on. again this is all visual and auditory clues for your dog.... if that isnt smart idk what is, but whether they cognitively understand why and what they do for what reasons, or not, is currently a debate lol.
👏👏👏
Yeah, I have a border collie/husky mix (I think) He has figured out how to open doors, oh god the problems that has caused (Dog opens the door middle of the night in fucking winter.)
My grandparents' dog learned how to open the door by himself so they got pissed and locked the door. When he tried to open it again and he couldn't, he gave us this confused look, like there was some sort of simple cognitive thinking behind of ''why''
@@berserker3414 Same! Our dog also did the same when we locked the door.

Sexual harrasment doesn't exist in nature.. look at ducks/etc. it's only human males who is head-over for human females.. all male ducks rape female ducks.. etc. if it doesn't rape there isn't a right order.. look at hyenas.. nearly extinct and nonsical male harassment.. just saying..
@@niklashansen820 so the squirrel chasing the other squirrel too rape... it isnt attempted rape just because its a critter? its still rape, just you cant send critters to jail for it LOL.

@PewDie-Ton EX
OH NO!
THANK YOU FOR SAYING SO
@PewDie-Ton EX only if they grew up with wolves, dogs grow up with humans so they learn human body language.
I have a Border Collie, and believe me, this is accurate. The dog is SMART. Almost too smart. He uses it for evil sometimes... Sometimes he takes my shoe because he knows that it would make me throw a toy at him to get him to drop it. Now, he does it to get me to throw toys. CLEVER DOG.
We also have good ways of communication, too. He understands some words I say, and the emotions we're pretraying. He responds remarkably to hand gestures. I always use hand gestures, I always have. He understands them scarily well, and I have studied wolf and dog body language a whole lot so I can understand him most the time, as well. He's awesome.
True that, I have a border collie aswell but what I'm most impressed with is how fast he learns. When I hold a treat in front of him and do nothing, he sometimes does every trick i've ever taught him.
You should punish him/her rather than reward. You dont get free candy for stealing a car do you? Give reward for good things and punish for bad things. Just like humans
+Xamnition What could I do? Hit him? Yeah, doing that is different than with humans. All that does is put fear in him. I've done it before. I've hit him so hard he whined. I'll never forgive myself. He's the only thing I have.
Hit him lightly with a newspaper or just show dissappointment. Never reward for something bad, that will encourage to do it again. And definetly dont be violent lol, thats illegal
his horse is a genius. doing all that seems much more difficult than adding 2 +2

The difference in DNA between humans and gorillas is not even 2%. I'm convinced that Koko really is that smart.
TripleX205 Of course. If a dog is capable of pulling off basic cognitive processes, why wouldn't a gorilla (much more genetically related) as well?
