Dogs are not binary machines. They are psychologically more complex than simply responding to rewards and punishments.
Dogs seek comfort from their mothers, companions and masters. Dogs that are not comforted may hide and become very neurotic whenever they are scared because they will not see their masters as caring or in control.
"Dogs are not binary machines. They are psychologically more complex than simply responding to rewards and punishments. "
Yes dogs are not binary machines, and they are complex animals, but unfortunately they don't speak english, so we cannot communicate with them in a complex way. The most effective way to train your dog is to mark the moment you are either happy, or unhappy with what he is doing or what he has done. Comforting a dog as not the same as comforting a human.
A pack leader can act unafraid to the source of the fear and the fearful dog will learn to take cues from him. And that can be seen as comfort.
If you comfort him in a human way, "good boy its ok, don't worry" and pet him he will learn its ok to feel this way, and he will go to his human whenever it happens. Which is an undesirable trait.
great vid!
but what if your dog doesn't have a tail? like a corgi
my dogs tail is 2 cm long hes a yorkshire terrier
i just have a question: you said that when the dog's tail is wagging in the middle then that is a happy state; but when my dog wags side to side in the middle he is actually nervous like when he wags his tail low. but when he wags his tail up and down or in circles, that means he is happy. Is that a common thing or just that my dog expresses himself differently?
I have a good question- My dog has a stub for a tail... He cant tuck his tail or raise it high so how will I know?
@id0069
Maybe the dogs are bored or sick of his company
So, what if your dogs tail is always curled and wagging.

@PainlessGossip
Get him a prostetictail dude, it's the only sensible solution.
isnt tail up excitement? never seen a agrassive dog wit tails up
you are a fucking moron when they have there tails tucked you need to pet them to make them feel better your dogs dipshit
oh and let your dog out when its near the door!
@PainlessGossip well you should have thought about that before you cut it off...
@savecharles are you under the impression I cut my dogs tail off?? I got him that way obviously. Just like boxers and rotties alot of bulldogs tails are cropped at birth. I live in Alberta Canada and they just passed a law stating you cant crop tails or ears here anymore. So maybe i will have better luck with the next one, huh?
what does it mean when its inbetween there legs
Those dogs are so poor.. the US army has less commands.. you are suppose to give them a good home.. they are so poor with you.. they are never happy near you.. its like the Nazi teaching..
@zampakto93 no actually my dogs tail goes straight up when he gets aggresive and it even wiggles a little in a weird way and he like freezes and stares..
Those dogs look sad and like zombies! The guy in the video seems like an asshole!
@gir4evr when a dog is aggressive and ready to attack it shows no sign but u cant feel the silence and see the aggresion in the eyes tailes up means excitement and i dont know if ur experience but a dog who "Wiggles" its tail and bark usually is from frustration, like dogs in cages barking i have never seen or experienced dogs that shows aggression by "wiggles a little in a weird way and he like freezes and stares"
but i have a lil chihuahua and his tail is all ways up so i cant tell if hes always mad,happy er normal but he can tug his tail in if hes sad
you're mean
