They are nearly as cunning as democrats.
Scientists found that dogs can be sneaky and manipulative in order to get what they want from humans.
Anyone who owns a German Shorthair Pointer already knows this!
My sister takes her little Dog to Obedience School once a week, for months now , LOL now I know who’s really getting trained
> I blame dogs learning bad behavior from cats. <
LOL. I was going to post something along those lines, but you beat me to it.

Nah, if that were true dogs would stand there and obnoxiously meow until they got what they wanted
Mine gets a biscuit whenever he goes out and goes to the bathroom (the bathroom part being the key thing here). But lately he steps outside, turns right around and comes back in, and runs to the cabinet and barks for a cookie.
I think my dog is a democrat. Wants something for nothing.
I had a 15 pound wirehair mutt. Once, the 5 yr old left a peanut butter sandwich on the chair in the kitchen. I was outside raking leaves and the door was open. The dog went to the front door and around to the kitchen door then the inside hall doorway and looked at the sandwich from all angles. She also looked all about her at each vantage point. When the boy went into the bathroom and closed the door she ran through the front door to the kitchen, snatched the sandwich, and exited through the kitchen door and took the sandwich out behind the shed to consume it at leisure.
Too many people have decided to have a dog than a baby. Self Centered? lol
Mine throws poochie eyes and a pout to get pet and some treats, but just try and disturb his sun bathing, I dare you.
Cooler Spaniels are the worst.
Lil punkz...
Come here pig!!!
My borzoi uses her good looks to charm people into giving her treats.
It’s hard to resist her when she puts her Dickens Bleak House look at you crossed with a Les Deplorables sad look.
As if to say:
“Look how skinny I am, my owner does not feed me.”
“Please don’t hate me cause I’m beautiful.”
Then if you are ‘in her club’, she will jump up and snug you and try to lick your ears.
Manipulative bitch!
And...I absolutely love her. Best little special snowflake in the world.
They paid for a study to figure this out? They could of saved the money and simply asked any dog owner this question.
We have to spell certain words around our dogs. Words like walk. But I think they have figured out what we are spelling.
My dog gets a treat when she goes on the pee pad.
And by golly you better give it to her because she will bark until she gets it...especially if I am upstairs and she is downstairs.
Why dogs die prematurely? Small dogs should live 20 years.
Large dogs 15 years. To achieve this result, feed only dry dog food, with lamb/beef/chicken as 1st ingredient. Very important, brush their teeth with a soft tooth brush with water only, no tooth paste since they will swallow it.
Twice a week is sufficient. If you start when they are puppies, they adapt to brushing. Without weekly brushing, gum disease takes hold, and those same mouth germs destroy their kidneys/heart/liver.
I wonder how much our government is wasting in similar studies.
Our Chihuahua is a master at begging and manipulating. She can also tell time. We are her minions. :-)
Eventually they’ll figure out what we already know:
you don’t “train” dogs, you just come to a point of mutual accommodation.
I’m no psychologist, but I suspect that anyone claiming they trained a dog is slightly deranged.
