Isn't burying a bone "planning for tomorrow"?
I think I call BS on them not remembering yesterday - I'm treating our dog for a bit of redeye with an ointment.
She gets a squirt of ointment on the eye, I rub it around, and then she gets a cookie (dog treat). This animal is very food-centric and it's how we've taught her everything - and reward for everything.
So if she can't remember yesterday, why is it she knows she gets a cookie after her medicine when I give her the morning dose?
Dogs bury bones and then relocate with smell........................
Maybe it’s just the concept of time. The dog doesn’t think “Oh this happened yesterday”. The dog thinks, “they have the medicine, I get a treat”
I call BS on this too. My dogs remember a lot of things. They remember when I go out a door that I will come back in that same door, they are waiting for me there. When my chair makes a squeak, they know I am getting up, when this happens at night, they know I am going to bed and they are already ahead of me going down I the hall. When I put on my yellow plastic apron they know they are going to get a bath and I can see them hang their heads. One of them even knows the word “bath” so i am careful not to say it or she will hide from me. I think this guy has some dumb dogs.
