Does not Know the Human Language But Your Pet still Recognizes You, Why?
When we call our pet dog's name, it often runs to wag its tail, excited. That makes many people mistakenly believe that dogs can recognize their names.
Pets can't understand human language! So why do they know when their owners call their names to rejoice or can detect us at a great distance even though they have not appeared in front of it?
Dogs recognize by
repeating their names and their sense of smell
Dogs know their names
because we start calling them names when they are young or take them for a walk
every time we feed them.
This repetition gradually causes them to form deductive reasoning and associate that sound in their heads with the desire to be noticed by their owners.
This is considered one of
the most important aspects of dog training and that is why training must begin
at an early age. A dog's response to being called by its name is the foundation
of any initial training.
Many people wonder about wild dogs, and why their brothers can recognize each other.
Some studies show that
wolves or feral dogs tend to focus more on howls at night or odors detected by
their sensitive noses along with their body language. Your dog can still
communicate well with his fellow humans in these ways.
In addition, dogs are
experts at recognizing people. A well-trained dog can detect and follow any
person at a distance of kilometers, especially since it can distinguish
strangers from its owner thanks to its sharp nose.
Dogs have very sharp
eyes, which have developed the ability to decipher human behavior and expressions
upon contact. Research conducted by animal scientist Paolo Mongillo at the
University of Padua, Italy in 2010 showed that dogs can recognize their owners
in a crowd by recognizing that person's face.
According to a recent
study, when dogs observe a group of people going in and out of a room, they
focus their attention more on their owners than on other people.
Cat recognizes the
owner's voice
Do you ask yourself: Do
cats recognize their owners?
Many animal behavior
experts and owners have discovered that cats quickly learn the habits of people
living in their environment. They know who feeds them every day, especially
cats are very good at recognizing sounds made by their owners.
Scientists have shown
that, in contrast to dogs, the human face is not so important to cats, which
are incapable of decoding human gestures and expressions.
Cats cannot distinguish us from the naked eye, our faces can resemble cats. But, cats can recognize their owner's voice among strangers.
Recent studies conducted
by many scientists at the University of Tokyo, Japan have found that cats
ignore the voices of others because they are smart enough to know what their
owners call them for feeding and bathing.
Dogs and cats can both recognize the love from their owners when they are petted and fed by their owners every day.
What's more, all mammals,
including dogs and cats, have seven basic emotional systems that allow them to
respond to information transmitted to the brain through the senses.
It includes a foraging
system to detect food, a fear system to deal with danger, or a caregiving
system for parenting and forming other essential social relationships.
Dogs and cats can both
feel emotions, such as happiness, sadness, anger, and fear, just like humans.
This is also the reason why many times your pet gets angry and ignores the
owner.
