Dogs can’t lie but they can manipulate
I watched my dogs interact and if one dog had a toy or bone
the other dog wants, plans need to be implemented. The dog chewing happily on
the bone knowing full well the other dog is waiting for the chance to nab it.
Suddenly the dog without, runs to the window starts barking and carrying on.
The dog reluctantly leaves the bone to see what all the commotions, is about. The
dog that didn’t have the bone originally rushes back and grabs the bone.
Mission accomplished! Dogs often take
advantage of opportunity when the owners away they will play. Going on couches
or beds when they know they aren’t allowed. Counter surfing when you leave the
kitchen. Going in the bathroom’s waste basket, and retrieving an empty toilet
paper roll if the bathroom door is left open. The list goes on but really this
is just a behaviour strategy to get what they want. Lies
no but maneuvers developed to reach goals, definitely.
