If you have a dog......be careful........

Because scientists have now proven that dogs are telepathic..........

It's a question that has perplexed many a pet owner - how do their dogs seem to know who is most likely to pass them food under the table?
Now scientists think the answer lies in their willingness to accept us as social companions.
A team from the University of Florida found dogs who had more contact with humans were far better at picking up on physical and verbal cues, suggesting they watched and assimilated human behaviour.

Mind-reader? Dogs know which diners are more likely to share their food

This could explain why your pet is more likely to misbehave when you're not looking.
Lead author Monique Udell carried out two experiments comparing the performance of pet domestic dogs, shelter dogs and wolves given the opportunity to beg for food, from either an attentive person or from a person unable to see the animal.

They wanted to know whether the rearing and living environment of the animal (shelter or human home), or the species itself (dog or wolf), had the greater impact on the animal's performance.

They showed for the first time that wolves, like domestic dogs, are capable of begging successfully for food by approaching the attentive human.

This demonstrates that both species - domesticated and non-domesticated - have the capacity to behave in accordance with a human's attentional state. In addition, both wolves and pet dogs were able to improve their performance rapidly with practice.

But the authors also found that dogs were not sensitive to all visual cues of a human's attention in the same way.

Dogs from a home environment were more sensitive to stimuli predicting attentive humans that those from a shelter. Those dogs with less regular exposure to humans performed badly on the begging task.

Reporting in Springer's journal Learning & Behavior, the researchers wrote: 'These results suggest that dogs' ability to follow human actions stems from a willingness to accept humans as social companions.

By the way.......if you're interested in seeing it actually used, tune in to "The Dog Whisperer" on Animal Planet. Mr. Cesar does a good job of demonstrating how.

Must be some truth to it. My 3 dogs just look at me and I go get them a treat. Wonder if I'm being controlled?

i wonder if the dobie knows he is getting a bath today...damn he smells

I don't have to worry about telepathic dogs because I have xray vision. I can see what they're doing under the table and circumvent it.

dogs are just better at reading people than people are.

Ceaser is right on when it comes to dog behavior.

BTW the Man employes alot of people and pays a shit load of taxes.

He also snuck into San Deigo about 15 years ago with 100 dollars in his pocket as an illegal alien.


He is now a legal citizen and is a job creator.

Be careful who you spew hate on it could be our next generations economic godsend.

Fuck off. Nobody in this thread has spewed any hate towards anyone, until you opened your big fat mouth.

Well, considering that I really didn't know much about him, what are you trying to do, point out the fact he came here illegally as a way to discount him?

Sad actually..........

Interestingly enough, there have also been scientific advances towards telepathy in people. Google "thought guided wheelchair" or "Mindlink Game by Mattel", and see that not only does it help people, but, they've also created a game out of it.

Wanna know how to figure out if telepathy exists? Simple actually........go somewhere and pick out someone who isn't looking at you and stare at the back of their skull. Eventually they will "feel" it, and look in your direction. Same works in reverse as well, because you can "feel" people looking at you, even if you're not looking at them.

It's basically just the electricity that you focus with your mind, that is running your brain and nervous system (incidentally, the brain generates 20 watts every second you're alive).

so far the dog is winning

 

[Mr Natural]

Just ask David Berkowitz about how telepathic dogs are.

 

[Nosmo King]

My dog knows EVERYBODY can be a soft touch at the dinner table. She also knows that if she hops up on my lap and whines, then glances toward the door and whines again, there's a pretty good chance I'll grab her leash and head out for a walk.

You think dogs are smart???
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

Mylo is remarkably fragrant as well. I never bathe her, but I think maybe she's got one coming, too...
