My mini dachshund remembers ‘her’ favorite people after four years absence and resumes the relationship exactly where it stopped. Quickly brings the same toy she and the human played with the last time they both were present. So I am unconvinced of the above.
My dog knows what going in the car means. He gets excited and runs to the car every time I ask him to go for a ride. I only take him in the car five or six times a year but he remembers. He also remembers the people he doesn’t like. My sister in law teased him as a puppy and he never liked or trusted her.
I’ve had the same thing happen to me.
