babies and dogs

an old study states that dogs have the same learning capacity as small children (aka babies). after that, i began to realise the similarities in how we teach or train dogs and babies. one example is teaching them to talk. we tell both to "say" daddy or mommy, then congratulate with a treat, a pat on the head, or a happy affirmation. and that's just one example. next time, you have the opportunity, just look and you'll see what i mean.
