How often do you hear someone say they know the dog knows it did wrong - they can clearly see it. So look at the photos - which dog do you reckon shredded the duvet?
 |
| Chance - Was it me? |
 |
| Molly - Or maybe me? |
Made your decision?
The answer is neither dog did, the duvet was already shredded when they went into the room. Nobody was telling anyone off - but Chance is a sensitive girl and did not want to even go close to the mess. Molly on the other hand is a free spirit and quite happy to sit in the middle of it all - I am sure she would have been equally unconcerned if she had done it to be honest.
So - do I believe dogs know they have done "wrong"? No I don't - I do however believe they can associate our behaviour with certain situations and react accordingly.
..... and Chance and Molly - after the photo got a biscuit for their modelling skills.
