Interesting! I have been watching your videos as we have a catahoula cross rescue dog that I was told was picked up as a stray. I thought he had problems with anxiety but this presentation and based on his avoiding eye contact and slithering away from sooo many things, sometimes seemingly random, I wonder he was somewhat feral. That puts a new outlook on things...
I've had dogs all my life, large and small. This was so helpful! I'm older now and live in a seniors building where the preponderance of people come from countries where dogs were working animals and didn't share your bed. I can't have a dog more than 30 lbs because lots of the residents need walkers etc. I have a one year old Pekingese; was waiting for a rescue dog for a year and life just brought her into my life, and I realized very early on that she needed to join this particular human community for everybody to settle down. Yes a lot of barking at the beginning when there were signs of life outside my apartment; I'd pick her up and open the door because although she weighs 10 lbs she still thinks she's Northern Dancer, so the process has been mutual; they love her, she now knows them. It really has been worth it I was startled to find out that Pekes haven't evolved that much from wolfish origins, despite their radically different physical appearance. I know that most dogs when problem solving will give up and wait for their human to sort things out; absolutely not this dog; she's persistent and doesn't want help. All in all she has become a kind of therapy dog for so many people here, and yes she chases squirrels. Tx again for brilliant presentation.
From my understanding in retrospect 98% of DNA in common is not that big of a deal. I think of the common comparison of 50% being shared between humans and bananas. What about behavioral genetics? Certain dogs are proved to be more prone to aggressive behavior by nature. Why did you say "mutated in" at 4:11?. I do not quite understand because there is no mutations in perception?
Thank you Robert... GREAT job with these videos!!! GSM

Unfortunately the american male is being taught to lay down and not to fight...
Just look at positive only trainers,
