Dog intelligence
 
Wow. I've just watched a fascinating episode of Horizon on iplayer, The Secret Life of the Dog. Anyone seen it?

If you're a dog-lover like me and, to be honest, even if you're not, you will be amazed, definitely worth a watch if you can spare an hour. The bit about silver foxes is especially interesting, I thought.

Dogs, don't underestimate em, the clever blighters :-D

Dogs are as stupid as a box of frogs all they do is bark next door has one and there is 3 at the back of us there is never any peace and quiet it goes on for hours.

There is a small field and wood at the end of our road and all the local dog owners take their pets for walkies before going to work so we get barking from 6.30am onwards and the field gets covered in dog crap so the kids can't play there.

When the next door neighbours aren't in we can hear their dog howling through the wall.

Dogs are a special kind of nuisance.

No certain dog owners are a nuisance.. I have 4 well trained working Labradors and they neither bark all the while or crap anywhere where it is not immediatley cleaned up. Don't blame the dogs.

I'm guessing you've never owned or lived with a dog then :rolleyes:

The behaviour of dogs is largely down if not completely down to the owners. You see dog crap everywhere, well its the owners responsibility to pick it up, even your local council's responsibility to provide waste bins for the owners to do so. You hear dogs howling, well that's only through sheer boredom, you'd do the same if you were locked in an area alone. Have you thought about letting your neighbours know their dog is howling? If it only does it when they're not in then how are they to know it's even causing a problem? Perhaps you should use your noggin and do something about it instead of complaining.

But the bit about it only being dogs who can 'talk' to owners via their barks was nonsense. My cat has a whole variety of noises he makes to tell me what he wants.

I'm pleased to see you - chirpy noises
I want some tuna - just get the can opener out - persistent barky miows
Please get up and get me some breakfast - small miows with headbutts - and if that fails he uses his paw to switch on the bedside touch light!
I can't believe you are expecting me to get off your lap when I'm comfy - grumpy short miow with filthy look
And best of all:
I want someone round here to get up and pay me some attention - long yodelling noise done under the stairs to create an echo and can be heard next door
