We make a lot of assumptions about dogs. We pass them one. And, over time, these suppositions can turn into things we believe as TRUE about dogs. But ours is an age of reason and science. Shouldn’t we devote as much effort to finding out about our dogs and their behaviour as we do to a new appliance or software program? The scientific method of posing questions, testing to see what we find, and making conclusions based on experience rather than hearsay has taken mankind a long way. If it’s good enough for modern medicine, it should be good enough for “man’s best friend” shouldn’t it? Is it easy to let go of some of our beliefs about dogs? No. But examining what we think we know might just be the key to a better life with our dogs. It has certainly made all the difference in my life.
A transcript of the main text of Finding Out the Truth About Your Dog is available at the Life As A Human online magazine website. You can visit Life as a Human to find this and other articles.
