- From the random stranger that your well-behaved dog barks at in the street, to the neighbor that your pet refuses to go near, sometimes it seems dogs just know when someone is a ‘bad’ or ‘good’ person. Stick around till the end of this video as we dig up the dirt on your dog's incredible abilities.
Dogs can detect a mean person
According to a study published in the journal of Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, dogs can tell when someone is mean to you!
In three different scenarios, a dog owner was trying to open a container that was tightly sealed with an actor standing next to them. The first actor helped open the container, the second was passive, and the third outright refused to help.
Scientists found that the dogs were much more likely to accept a treat from the actor who tried to help and showed kindness toward the owner.
Most dogs also accepted food from the passive actor, but they were not willing to trust the person who didn’t lend a hand.
Dogs can detect liars
Another study conducted in Japan followed a similar experiment to find out if dogs can recognize an untrustworthy person.
In this experiment, the scientists placed two containers near the dogs. One had treats inside, but the other was empty. In the first test, a person pointed to the container that concealed a treat, but the second time, the person pointed to the empty container instead.
The dogs were happy to find the treat the first round, but were disappointed when they found out they were lied to in the second time. Then, the third round, the person pointed to the container with the treat again. However, that time, the dogs did not go for it. That person had been untrustworthy and deceitful in the second round, and the dog remembered that.
Dogs can remember their owner’s scent forever
Dogs can remember the scent of their owners for their entire life.
A dog’s memory is so complex that they will remember emotions associated with their owner or a person they met. The association of how that person made the dog feel remains stored in the dog’s brain.
When a dog recognizes a particular scent associated with a human that has brought them joy, a particular portion of their brain is triggered, and they remember them.
Studies have shown that an owner’s scent activates the pleasure centers in the dog’s brain. It’s similar to the way the human brain responds to the perfume or cologne of a loved one.
Dogs can interpret facial expressions.
In a touchscreen experiment in Austria, scientists put dogs to the test.
When the dogs were shown angry or happy faced pictures of people they hadn’t seen before, they were still able to tell the difference and earn that reward.
The scientists say that the experiment proves that dogs can discriminate between the two human expressions. Dogs had a natural aversion to pressing their noses against pictures of angry faces. This means that our furry friends have some knowledge about the meaning behind human expressions.
Dogs can smell bad intentions
If your dog barks at some people, but not the others, it could be that your dog picks up on subconscious signals you send about those people.
Outwardly, you may be being welcoming and friendly to a person, but your dog will notice tiny, subconscious signals that you are not completely comfortable around that person.
Your dog can sense when you are nervous because your body produces certain stress-related chemicals and hormones that have distinctive odors.
On that note, remember that dogs can smell fear. In a study of 694 people, the scientists found a link between an individual’s emotional state and their likelihood of getting bitten. Confident and emotionally stable people didn't get bitten nearly as often as those who feel anxious around intimidating dogs.
Dogs can read your body language.
According to animal behavior specialists, canines will pick up on every move a dog or human makes.
This is because dogs rely on canine body language to assess their own safety when they are around other dogs.
Dogs can smell serious illnesses
Believe it or not, dogs can detect cancer. Simply by sniffing someone’s body.
A study conducted at the University of California Davis has shown that dogs can detect Cancer-affected tissues out of many samples.
Dogs can even be life-savers for people with diabetes.
A dog’s super nose can also predict seizures, and migraines, and can detect malaria and Parkinson’s disease.
Now, let’s talk about why dogs bark at some dogs, but not the others.
While humans communicate using words, dogs mainly communicate through their body language and scent.
Your dog may bark at some dogs because they show threatening body language and have an off-putting scent.
"I'll never trust a person that doesn't like a dog, but I'll always trust a dog that doesn't like a person" - Bill Murry
Some people just dont like dogs or kids. It's no necessarily problem. But I agree about someone a dog always seems to dislike.
Dogs have killed babies tho.....
Yep. My dog is friendly towards everyone so, if she didn't like someone I'd be immediately suspicious!

Trump hates dogs. One presumes the feeling is mutual.
I used to share a house with a friend who had a Labrador, we spent many days out in the woods together etc. I eventually moved away and never saw my friend or his dog for over five years. The first time I visited him again his dog instantly recognised me. He was over joyed to see me. He’s since died. Have many good memories with him. RIP Samson

I guess every single mail delivery person, ups, fed-ex etc are extremely evil because my dog acted like he wanted to kill them. This whole thing is random, and a flip of the coin.
Ann Rule mentioned this in her book The Stranger Beside Me. The title refers to Ted Bundy, who was a coworker of hers for a while, and she had no idea he was capable of the crimes he committed. She wrote, "The only clue I had was that my dog (who liked everyone) didn't like Ted at all. Whenever he bent over my desk at the Crisis Clinic, she growled and the hackles on her neck stood up. The lesson is clear: Pay attention to your dog!"
omg to have had a vile person like that anyhow in your life is just horrible. Thank goodness that the dog gave an opinion that must have protected you one some level.
My dog jumped back when she passed a person with hoodies sitting on the trail. I immediately called her back and we backed out from there. I always trust my dog's instincts.
dogs are TRASH that have NO place in human society!
Well, I feel I am not a bad person but I once wanted to pet a dog on the train, and just did so, so the dog was suprised by it-and I shouldnt have done that. But when we all got out of the train the dog recognized me and growled at me and also other dogs bark at me. I do think they sense that I am always in my head and not in my body and due to violence comitted to me, I feel anger inside me. So, yes it probably is true that the dog senses something is off.
you should seek treatment
Once, I had a job interview, and I had to go to my boss house. She had a dog, and the dog seemed to like me. In the end of the interview, the dog came in the room and sat between my legs, asking for a hug. My boss watched my reaction and interaction, and hired me for that. No joke.
i would do the same thing honestly if my dog likes someone thats special fr
I did the same thing when hiring mechanics and it right every single time 😊😊😊
My dog would literally warn me of people, lead me to things I needed to see, and let me know a person was good. I miss my dog terribly. There will never be another like my dog.
I had a job interview last week.
The owner's dog came over and sat with his paw on my leg
The owner said his dog was very picky and he likes you.
I did not get the job.🎉
@@paul66990Maybe the fact that the dog liked you made you the wrong type of person for the job.🤔

I had a doberman. I had throat cancer and she slept across my throat when I came home from radiation treatment. I beat it but 4 yrs later she died of throat cancer on the same spot as I had it. RIP Madie you will always be in my heart and mind.

The part about dogs forever memorizing smells of people important to them made me take a trip down memory lane. When I was little more than a toddler, our neighbor had a Shiba which was still an extremely rare and unknown breed here in Europe at the end of the 90s. Fatefuly, we were both born the same month of the same year and ended up growing up next to each other, a green see-through fence separating us. The dog, named Luis, wasn't happy : his owner never took him out to walk, was rarely at home and he didn't really take much care of him. So Luis decided he wanted to stay with us and dug a passage under the fence to come over to our garden. Every single day after his owner went to work, he would crawl under the fence, come spend the day with me and then go back to his house in the evening before his owner returned. When I was 4, due to my father's work, we moved to a different country and got separated. A decade later, teenager me came back to where I spent the first years of my life. I went to the front gate of Luis house and, before I could even call his name I saw him, now an old dog, cruising out of the house followed by a younger Shiba. The younger Shiba stayed a bit back, watching me with a mix of curiosity and wariness ; Luis, on the other hand, was so happy he was screaming and jumping all over the place. In that moment, I was certain : after almost 10 years apart he still remembered me, still recognized me. This was the last time I got to see him and it still breaks my heart that I couldn't just open the gate and cuddle him in my arms.
My immediate family once had a dog who no doubt knew that I had a pacemaker. She'd come into my room almost every morning without fail, do a perimeter check, then come over to me and sniff my face. If I sniffed back, she knew I was okay and she left. I loved that about her. RIP Angel 🥰
I randomly started sniffing my dog in the face when he would my face in the morning lol. Weird but now we have sniff-offs. He can’t beat me
You’re my type of human! 🤗
Sniffed back? lol
Very true! My brother had double pnemonia, he was home and super sick. His dog kept nudging him to ensure my brother didn’t dose off to heaven. Brother finally got it together enough to dial 911. They are lifesavers❤️
My friend had a dachshund who I was very close with. She was always very fond of and affectionate with me, but became moreso around when I was 15. I was later diagnosed with cancer. It was like she knew something was wrong. Aside from some side-effects of the chemo and radiation, I’m fine now. Sadly she passed away a few years ago. RIP Roxxy.
The part about a dog's memory of an owner's scent is very true. My dad adopted my dog after I moved away. I was 22 at the time and I thought a puppy was just what I needed. I had my dog for about 4 or 5 months before I realized I wasn't home enough to provide her with the life she deserved. My dad had just retired and he said he would take the 9 month old pup and give her a great life. I knew it was the right thing to do.
She always loved me though, and anytime I would visit, she always stuck by my side. My dad became her favorite person. But he died 13 years later, one day when he was cutting wood with the dog, in the woods behind the house. When Mom found him, the dog was asleep in the truck. She had no idea what had happened.
After he died, my dog never stopped watching for him to come home. Mom would come home in the car and the dog would see her park from the front window of the house. My mom would open the front door and the dog would whine and cry looking for dad as she circled the car. Then after she couldn't find him, she'd come in and greet mom. It was just mom and the dog in the house after that. The dog never really loved my mom like she loved my father or myself, she never quite understood that it was just mom and her left. She thought dad would be home tomorrow.
At night, the dog would sleep on the couch in the living room, waiting for my dad to come through the door. For 3 years it was like this. By this time my dog was 16 years old, arthritic, mostly deaf, and mostly blind, with roughly 6 teeth left in her mouth. She required a special diet and we needed to take extra care to preserve her kidney functions.
One night, I drove to Mom's house and I didn't get there until midnight or 1. The living room light was left on for me, and there was my dog, asleep on the couch. She didn't hear me come through the door and the light didn't keep her up. She was snoring in her little doggy sort of way. I brought my bags inside and gently walked to my room. I sat my things down on the bed and returned to see if the commotion had woken up the dog. I must have been quiet enough, because I did not wake her.
So, I walked beside her little sleeping body and waved my hand to blow my scent over her face. Her little nose began to wiggle as she started to take short chopping sniffs as her head lifted from the pillow. She didn't even have her eyes opened before she started to whine and cry in excitement.
She got up as fast as she could and wiggled her old bones all over the place as she became filled with joy. I will never forget that night. My scent was all it took to wake her up from a very deep sleep.
She died of a stroke about 3 months later, she was 2 months shy of her 17th birthday. I held her as she died. I was her last smell, I hope it was enough to stir a great memory together, as she slipped away forever.
That’s so sad. May she rest in peace. My dog is 2 years old and I am afraid of the day that I will say goodbye to her. Life sucks.
@@sammyh9542 Life is the good part. It's the dying at the end of it that sucks.
Owner scent and memory for dogs is very real. Know those thousands of videos of dogs who went nuts once soldiers returned home from Iraq after a one year tour of deployment?
This is why the dog should see that it’s owner has died and it might seem cruel but it’s the only way the dog will “get over it”
@@jonharrison3114 Dogs don't really understand death like we do. They don't know that it's permanent. My dog eventually inspected and smelled my Dad's body. She still waited for him to return. A dog can understand when any living thing quits interacting with them after a traumatic event, like a fight or some other experience. But they don't really understand what it means.
My dog got to sniff and see my dad's body. She just waited for him to wake up. Any time he slept, she left him alone. There is nothing you can do, short of destroying a person's body in front of the dog, to show them someone is never coming back.
Dogs love their pack. They serve their leader. Even when that leader isn't around. They are Conditioned by us to expect us to eventually return. We always return. We may leave for a few weeks or months, but we always come back. That's why they never stop looking.
They speak a different language than us. Dogs have a similar understanding to 2 year old humans. 2 year olds cannot understand death.
I have a service dog for multiple medical issues.
I love that they mentioned migraines with the seizures.
I have both, and My gsd warns me of both, among other things.
She saves my life everyday.
My best friend used to work as a veterinarian's assistant. Dogs didn't like her too much outside the vet clinic because she smelled like the vet clinic. She thought it had a lot to do with assisting during euthanasia procedures and the scents that go along with death. Now she's a horseback riding instructor and horse trainer and all dogs love her.
When my brother and I moved away for college our dog didn't know how to react. My parents told me she would sleep in our rooms at night waiting for us to come home. It got so bad that she wouldn't eat. I got an apartment that allowed pets and moved her up there for her final years.
Omgggg i felt the same when i left my dog. Glad u were able to have her back for awhile.
Awee our family dog is also sleeping in my bed when I'm in my university town. When my parents are on vacation she is sleepig in their bed and she refuses to get up until it's really necessary to go on a walk.
think about it like this you left your friend to go to a school to learn absolutely nothing while they aged and died off missing you so you could go to school to be nothing and do nothing but party would you take it back and not sink your self 10s of thousands of dollars in debt to be socially accepted by people who are not peers or friends ,and the one friend who wanted you there more anything died missing you because you sought to go study at a failing educational system
@@odgreenshq6221 I read your comment out loud and my dog was growling and barking. I guess he could sense something about you....
@@odgreenshq6221 The dog didnt die missing him, he said he got the dog to live with him for her final years.
I miss my dog so much. She passed away last year. 15 years of unwavering loyal companionship and unconditional love. From a newborn pup all the way till her last day, she has been in my life. Please treat your canine companion with love and respect. They're gone before you know it.
I’m so sorry. I just got my dog almost a year ago, as a puppy, and I can’t imagine her not being here. God bless.❤
I'm sorry for your loss. I've had four (4) dogs lost throughout my life, and they were all brutal losses. My neighbor loves dogs just like I do, and they have between two (2) and four (4) dogs at their house at any given time. If one goes, there is another dog to help soften the blow. But it's true: "When you buy a dog, you're buying a tragedy." -George Carlin 🥲
@@williamyoung9401 It’s true: Grief is the price we pay for love, and it’s brutal. Still, I thank God for love. And for dogs.
That's the only thing that sucks about dogs, they're gone before you know it.
Sorry for your loss, at least she's in a better place 🙏
What’s crazy is this actually happened to me! My dog and I were going for our daily walk. Typically, when people would walk past, she’d either wanna greet, or just totally ignore the person. This one day, there was a guy passing by us and I noticed my pup sat on my feet (facing away from me) and started growling and not taking her eye off him. The guy was so spooked, he went to the opposite side of the street. I always suspected she did this b/c she detected something and wanted to protect me. Who knows….my pup is prob the reason I was able to return home that night 🤔🥹🥰
Any dog I see or meet is happy to see me even though I'm a stranger to them. They sense my intense love for them.
Ha ha, I remember being on vacation in the UK riding my bicycle along a channel. Dog was standing in the middle of the street.I slowed down and stopped. Dog came to me. Me: "You're such a good girl!" petted the dog and we both had a good time. Owner: "That wasn't strange!"
I feel the same way, but one hunting dog once almost bit me.
they are tasty too
My parents ran a pub when I was growing up that we also lived in, and they had a regular customer who our dog HATED. She hated him so much that she'd bark any time he so much as drove by the pub. He seemed like a good guy so they never understood why she despised him specifically. Many years later my mum ran into one of his daughters and it turns out he was horribly abusive them.
There are abusive people who dogs like. I knew a person who even killed dogs at some point and dogs still liked him. I just think that dogs just read the energy of a person for that moment and that's it.
@@yesman1743 exactly, I don't believe dogs can read through you, rather just for the moment. I am a piece of shit, or used to be; and dogs either love or hate me depending on my mood.
I have some "mood disorder" ( in quotes because it's a crutch, let's be real ) and some days dogs will hate or love me, and it depends on my mood. I've had dogs be pissed at me just because the day went to shit, and every time I give the dog a direct eye contact and piss the dog off more, just to have them retreat from fear. Other times I'm in a great mood and dogs come up to me and ask for love, and I give it to them.
I fucking hate dogs that are reactive, they sit there and agitate you because they don't like your energy. I have to deal with people with shitty energy all the time; I don't get to yell at them for an hour because of it though.
One day I seriously feel like I'll end up kicking some dog across the room, just because I was in a shitty mood and it felt like agitating me.
That's why I love cats, I can be in a shitty mood and they come up and want to help me; they don't agitate because they can see I'm agitated.
I wish animals could talk rather than meow or yip, it'd teach everyone a lot.
@@lillee4207 I think dogs can hear your heartbeat, and maybe people with bad moods or bad intentions have a heartbeat that sounds like danger. This makes calm bad people especially dangerous.
I trust my dog first. When he shows alarm around a new person, I listen carefully. Horses, cats, etc. have shown me the same respect. He was invaluable while I was temporarily homeless. He took treats and wagged his tail at many of the people around me. There were a few he flew into a rage whenever they got near me. He was right; and I took the hint. Usually, others came forward to quietly inform me that the dog had good instincts. He is a rescue, who has rescued me many, many times since. I show him the kindness and care that he has always shown towards me. I don't know how they do it; but I trust the process. Animals have many senses that we lack; we need their help. Rats can find mines or survivors in the rubble, dogs can alert to cancer, seizures, help a blind person see, etc. Respect them.
Great comment AND I like the ring of your username [Valkyrie (Scandinavian) + year of Hastings battle (the Normans were descendants of Vikings who settled on the Western coast of France)].
Dogs can also kill people, like innocent children after a pitbull was let loose unintentionally by its owner. I think it depends on the animal and the circumstance. Respect all living things, but don't let your guard down.
Dogs are human's best friend. I am now sobbing at how protective your dog was to you. He was your furry, four legged bodyguard and companion. Whenever I hear on the radio or see scenes of natural disasters like hurricanes or blizzards, my first thought is did they evacuate the dogs? Are the dogs still being cared for despite the weather?
Extend this compassion to all walks of life. Choose vegan.
I have a dog phobia, they scare me. However I’m a very great person, I treat everyone like I want to be treated. Never judge others. I’ve had dogs growl at me and my babies, sometimes just a new person is alarming to them.
My dog was always friendly to all , He was like strangers are just friends I have not met yet kind of dog . Even when I took him to an emergency vet because he had a collapsed lung he was more interested in saying hi to a person in the waiting room than getting his breathing fixed ( multiple aspirations of the chest failed we did surgery and removed a lobe that had a good size hole in it . He lived) One day while walking him we approached two men . My dog pulled me away from them turned and growled at them . He had never done that before . They kept going and so did we . He was a Rotty/ Lab Mix . smartest dog i have ever known
I 100% trust my dog with letting me know who I'm safe around. I have ptsd and she's not officially a service dog, but she may as well be. dogs are so much more intelligent than most people know. little furry angels 💜
Trust your dog enough to eat poop or hump a random stranger .... Please your dog will take food from anyone and drink out the toilet
I have PTSD and my little battle buddy can recognize when I trigger. He’s been an absolute life saver, literally. So when you see an emotional support dog don’t dismiss it as a gimmick.
I also have PTSD from a tragic accident I was involved in at 14. 19 years ago . I have had my dog for 13 years not a trained emotional support dog however I never got the proper help I really need but having my dog I realized has been the reason I have been able to keep going he goes everywhere with me including work and really helps me so I also consider him to be a life saver. He actually jumps into my lap wraps his paws around me and literally hugs me . He has never missed a moment when I injured my self or was emotional. He is always there for me .
I concur, but I will dismiss an emotional support peacock or rabbit. People are getting ridiculous with some of it. Dogs are natural human companions born for the job.
There was a cat that was mean to everybody, I came back on leave and was having some major anxiety, I started petting the cat, it didn't have a problem with me
A service animal for PTSD is legally different than an emotional support animal. But yes PTSD service dogs are absolutely amazing.
Due to all the lock downs Sydney siders all bought dogs and they are everywhere now and as a fellow sufferer but not a per owner just watching them in the street has done me the world of good and the following is a true story.
I was out working Uber eats on my bike when I was stopped at a pedestrian crossing reflecting on the fact that god is dog spelt backwards when a Groodle looked me in the eye and I heard the words in my mind "you have your answer" I rode for a bit still "reflecting" when it occurred to me the we are the ones who are spelling it backwards and that they really are gods who walk the earth to show us how its done by accepting everyone you meet as family, google maps then said "turn left into Barker street".
A lot of this depends on how the owner treats the dog and what kind of environment the dog is raised in. I have come across dogs that wouldn't let me go. I would come over and they would run to me to be pet and loved. I have also had a handful of times where dogs did not like me. It's not always the personality of the person.
Or maybe you are just a horrible person ?
True but people will believe anything they see these days. I'm pretty sure even Ted Bundy could have walked up to a couple dogs and had a friendly pet with it
@@RoseStorm336 Very true. To invoke Godwin's Law here, lol, Hitler was a well known dog lover.
@@RoseStorm336 you seem to know how dogs think , how long you been a dog for ?
Chihuahuas don’t like me. And I don’t like them either
I remember my Mum said they went somewhere and the place had guard dogs that were usually barking viciously at visitors… but with my Dad, they were like puppies, just gaga over him, wanting pets and love.
I'm type 1 diabetes patient, last year I was tested covid positive, my pet stayed with me because he knew that living inside for that long I am suffering from depression. He was there for me, he brought balls to play in my bed . Since then I know how lucky sister I'm to have pogo in my life, and then again I was tested covid positive after some month, my dog knew that I wasn't feeling good, he always used to lick my face, hand, he didn't wanted me to be in bed all time at that time, pogo is the biggest reason why I'm alive today, because when I had covid second time, I thought it's a end , but he didn't let me give up. Since then I knew having a pet is a blessing.
I remember being in a relationship and introducing that person to my parents and childhood dog. My dog immediately didn't like them and acted completely differently than usual. Nothing ever happened between them, but it ended up being the worst relationship I've been in. I guess I should've listened to her ❤️
Yeah well if you use gender neutral pronouns to describe someone who is either a boyfriend or girlfriend, you deserve to be alone to begin with.

I have a service dog for PTSD and she’s literally saved my life. I’ve always said she is my “danger alert” too as she has an uncanny sence of determining “baddies”. One time we were walking alone on a beach and she kept looking behind and growling and barking (which she hardly ever does) I turned around to see what she was so upset about and noticed 2 guys walking a considerable distance behind us. I trusted her instincts and lead her off the beach and up to the street and took a different route home. We pass people when out walking all the time and she’s trained to ignore everybody but now I know, if there’s someone bad around, she’ll tell me.
Thanks for sharing that awesome story.
that was beautiful
yeah, how do you know they were bad? So, the 2 guys tried to kill you?
Thanks to the dog , she didn't have to find out .
Wow! I guess you never know what intentions people with have these days now
its beautiful to see that animals and humans can co-exist and help each other. save the animals! and humans!
I totally believe that! Shoot I trust dogs more than people! 😂 Dogs are the best! ❤🐾
This explains something that happened with a dog I used to have. We took our dog to the family Christmas get together. My sister in law was there with her boyfriend and their kids. Her boyfriend had a son around 7 or 8 and was a real mean kid, was always disrespectful to adults and would bully my nephew. We had a yorkie/pomeranian mix that took one look at the kid and started growling. The other kids would come up and pet her and she would show no reaction, but she refused to let this one kid near here. If he moved towards her she would step back and start barking.
The whole time I kept thinking of that scene in Ace Ventura Pet Detective where a dog starts growling at the villain and Ace says "so it's true, animals can detect evil."
My dog does the same thing to my landlord.
Dogs know.
When I was a kid, I was in an abusive "friendship" with this one awful girl who used to bully people, like would even physically assault her mother, call her a bitch, etc. One time she came over by my house and looked out the backdoor window where our dogs were, and they IMMEDIATELY started tensing up at her. Like would not blink, their hair was standing on end, and they began growling and barking at her. Prior to that, I had NEVER seen them act that way towards someone, and they usually loved meeting new people.
You have to take that with a grain of salt because some dogs are hyper protective to thier owners no matter what. I embrace dogs and there have been a few who just growl no matter who it is because the owner is around. It does matter how owners influence thier dogs behavior.
With any experiment you have to look into the details of the experiment. If its sample size is reliable, what kind of dogs were used, and other factors. Different dogs have different aggressions.
However, there is no doubt dogs are sensitive animals. "Mans best friend"
All animal can see danger it’s common sense
Look at mother polar bears they know as soon as they see a male around what’s the males intentions 👌
I always tell people that if you treat your dog well, you’ll get way more back in return.❤️
In my nuclear family, my dog interprets me as the play mate. He’s always trying to wrestle. And unfortunately, I love to tease him. One thing I do is I ass tag him when he’s not looking and run. Course, if you have a corgi, it’s hard to resist.

My doggo has never attacked anyone, lady came over and stole a bottle of pain pills from Grandmas room, Butters went after her leg where she hid it in here socks, had no idea till it fell out of her pants as she was leaving. Good boy puppers
Dude! I had a yellow lab named Butters. That's insane they both had the same name. Best dog I EVER had. He convinced my family to turn from beagle people to labrador people lol. He was so smart too. He knew he wasn't allowed in the street so he would do this thing where he would walk up to the edge of the yard, pause, slowly turn back and look at me, then slowly place one paw gently into the street to gauge my reaction. He would pull the paw back, put it forth, rinse and repeat. I couldn't get upset because I was so impressed at that display of intelligence.
Now give a pain pill to him
I had a Malamute mix for 16.5 years. One time I went to visit someone who lived really close to where I lived and I had been friends with but had gotten into drugs really bad. I walked my dog over and brought her some food. He was probably around 5 at the time.
We were sitting in her living room and my dog was right between my legs on the floor. Staring down the empty hallway. So alert. Suddenly, one of the doors started to open, and my dog's hackles stood up so high, his entire crest, down his shoulders. And this almost imperceptible low growl started from deep in his chest and as the door opened more, it got louder.
A man walked out into the hall. He was white, probably 6 feet, at least 250. You know those big thick guys? Big boned kind of tank fat? Shaved bald. My dog stood up as he was growling and backed up onto my lap, completely blocking me from view, fully between this guy and me, and he hunched down like he was going to spring off and lunge at this guy as he came down the hall.
Obviously he stopped at the end of the hallway, he came to the entrance of the living room and stopped dead, finally hearing and seeing this 115 lb wolf like dog ready to tear his throat out.
He asked, "What tf is wrong with your dog??" And I remember thinking, _No, what tf is wrong with YOU?_ My sweet, gentle dog who lets kids sit on him and spends his time swimming in lakes getting kids to hold onto him so he can bring them to shallow water where they're safer, is ready to rip you apart to keep you away from me.
He was only aggressive/suspicious of people a few times and he was right every time. Once a friend of my bf at the time stayed over at the house. Apparently he woke up at like 6 or 7 and couldn't find a cigarette, so he went out the laundry room through the garage so he didn't have to wake us up, and went to the store. He said he came back, and when he opened the door to the laundry room, my dog was sitting there waiting. And wrapped his teeth around the guy's hand and started biting down until the guy pulled the door shut. He let go. He was protecting the house.
Another time he was home on the porch alone at my mom's and a guy my mom knows came up on the porch and knocked on the door. My dog didn't move. He tried the handle to see if it was locked. Bad move. He called my mom freaking out that he had been stuck on the porch for 10 or 15 minutes but every time he tried to get off, my dog would scare the sht out of him, and he made her come home and tell my dog it was ok. He went and lied back down. Job done.
I really miss that dog. He was my life partner for a decade and a half of my life. He was given to me at 5 weeks so I even bottle fed him briefly. I used to say I should've called him Shadow because he was always in my personal space bubble, within reach, I never felt unsafe or vulnerable with him. I wish I still had him but he was like 120-140 years old when he passed. He stayed as long as he could.
You sound like a typical nut case😂
"He stayed as long as he could." That is such a sweet commemoration of your loving dog.❤
He sounds absolutely awesome. Clearly he was crazy about you. I’m so sorry for your loss but still happy to think that you two had each other as long as you did.
Best dogs to have. Those that just stay there with you, are always there for you, and stick around as long as they can. I had one like that. The memories will make you smile and cry forever, but wouldn't trade them for the world. :)

As a delivery person of over 13 years, I've learned that dogs will come up to you and you never know what they're gonna do. A cat on the other hand will either say whats up or bounce. No aggressive deceptions detected.

Our chocolate lab is normally not much of a lap dog. Maybe a minute or two with me.Then one night I was in quite a bit of extreme anxiety... the lab jumped up and laid on me for 45 minutes. Never trained at all
Brown labs are my favorite..! We have one also, he’s about 40kg (big!) and still has his “puppy” wrinkles on his head. He is also partly a natural guard/watchdog for some reason, which is really rare for a Labrador.
If you ever feel lonely, get a Labrador and train with him often. It really can bring happiness
The more I learn about their behavior, the more I love my dog 🥰❤️ I even went out grocery shopping today to make special healthy meal prep balls to add to his BARF meals. I bought him a new, super comfy and much bigger basket this week as well, the happiness and gratitude he showed is worth all the money i spent on it and more 😂 It’s like a smiling baby, it can totally make your day! It’s just sad to think that some will eventually take their dog to a shelter or worse, tie it to a tree somewhere 😢
I have good reception with dogs. Both in NYC and in Maryland. I had a corgi walk up to me in a parking lot and just flopped for belly rubs. I kid you not that made my day.
My dog once went nuts on a neighbor he had previously been very excited to see and completely friendly with . That evening my neighbor fell very ill and almost died of a previously unknown staph infection. He spent weeks in the hospital and upon his return home Jake had no issues with him. I honestly think he knew he was sick and was protecting me.

A quote I saw: "”The Gift Which I Am Sending You Is Called A Dog, & Is In Fact The Most Precious & Valuable Possession Of Mankind.” - Theodorus Gaza."
We have a chiweenie who we thought didn't have an aggressive bone in her body. she would go up to everyone tail wagging expecting to make friends. One day my wives daughter had her best friend and her boyfriend over. The moment that guy came through the door she was growling and barking. We had to put her in another room and she still carried on. when we finally let her out I swear that dog was walking around sniffing with a look of disgust on her face. 6 Months later that guy was in jail for attempted murder on his girlfriend.
One of my dogs was abused as a pup and she’s very wary and hesitant of people. Some people she will allow to pet her but she doesn’t totally warm up to them. I recently met a gentleman and the first time I had him to dinner, she had given him her ball and was totally looking at him with love and trust. When he comes over, she’s all about him lol. He still doesn’t believe me that she’s not like that with anyone. It’s amazing

#6 saved my life... I had a big, aggressive Akita when I was in HS, and I hadn't seen him for a few months after I went to college. When I visited my mom, she said she forgot the house key, so I should go around back and go in the back door to let us in. As I opened the back door, late at night, in the dark, I saw my 120 lb Akita running towards me, and I thought, "Huh. If he doesn't remember me, this is going to be bad." But of course he did, and went nuts when I came in. Whew! 😂😂😂
What happens when your dog is tiny Scrappy Doo and barks at everyone? "Let me at em'! Let me at em'!" lol.
My dogs would comfort me when I cried. I love them so much for their sensitivity.
I’ve met a couple of aggressive dogs over the years and they’ve always shown a fondness towards me
Two times my dog has peed in between myself and another person and looked me dead in the eye when he did it. Both times were inside my house despite him being very well potty trained. (never has accidents inside) both of these individuals (whom I thought were friends) would go on to cause me a lot of pain and anguish in my life. I distinctly remember not being upset with him either time because I could tell he was trying to tell me something, unfortunately I didn’t listen. All I know is the next time it happens, I won’t make the same mistake.
your dog said “SMELL THE PEE HOOMAN. THIS ONE IS BAD JUJU”
That’s really interesting. I’ll be paying closer attention to my husky.
Interesting behavior, which breed is your dog may I ask
@@MIOKONE golden retriever basset hound mix, like a golden with short legs
My first cat (neutered) did that to a college housemate who showed up to the apartment with a male kitten without telling me. My cat never bothered the kitten, but one weekend when I went home, our third Housemate told me that 5 minutes after I walked out the door, my cat went over to the kitten's human, stared her in the face to get her attention, turned and wet on her shoes! I think that was a definite "Pi$$ on you" moment.
My late husband invited an old school friend over one evening. The friend took his friend. Immediately, you could tell our GSD did not like this other man. For the entire evening our dog wouldn't take his eyes off this man. When one stood up to leave, our dog was OK. When the other stood up to leave, our dog started barking, growling and baring his teeth. The man sat down again. This happened several more times until we removed our dog from the room. This is how GSDs operate. As soon as the person they don't like tries to leave (and this includes intruders like burglars), the dog will prevent them from leaving. Our dog did not like this man and nor did I - there was just something about him. We found out a couple of years later this man had a criminal conviction for crimes that, shall we say, involved young children. Our dog was right. I would trust a dog's judgement over a human's any day. Sadly, I no longer have our lovely dog as I lost him to old age 2 years ago.
Great dog. What breed is a GSD ??
@@vicktesta6894 German Shepherd Dog.
I grew up with a GSD, who was normally very VERY protective of the house around strangers. When my uncle, who had lived out of state for the dog’s entire life, relocated back home we were prepared for a long process of introducing a new person into his world. It took seconds. I maintain to this day, the dog recognized a “family scent” and just instantly accepted my uncle as part of the pack, it happened too quickly to be anything more complex or behavioral.
Your dog will feed off your emotions to the extreme. So if you don’t like or care for a particular person, your dog will hate that person.
@@blackmamba___ They can but in this case I was in the kitchen and my husband let his friend and the other man in. Dog didn't like him from the start - if you know dogs' body language, you'll understand. If my dog didn't like someone, there was always a good reason - as we found out. Dogs are really quick to pick up on how their owners feel. When my husband passed away, Buddy came over and put his head on my lap, looked up at me with his soft brown eyes as if to say "It's OK. You've still got me". Buddy passed away 2 years ago and there's not a day goes by that I don't miss him 😢
I had a dog once who was hyper sensitive and smart .when I walked him I have to be extra cautious because there are people he meet the opposite way, he stops, then will follow behind them quietly and attempt to bite their leg. Donnie was something but he loved my house guests.He lived until his oldest age his body can. I loved him as my first child and wished the beginnings was better.
Simply put - dogs are amazing! Honored to have them in my life.
As a person who gets high anxiety, I've had many dogs bark at me for this reason. I mightve made their owners think im some sort of bad person. But really, I just get high anxiety around new people in general. I wish dogs could understand that there's a difference between anxiety and evil intent.
Same - but I've found a lot of dogs are a lot like their owners. Sweet dogs with kind owners get my anxiety and act like "it's okay, dude - I still love you". But jerks get off on watching their fearful, aggressive dog make people nervous (which I rationally know is just the dog's own fear response at my state of anxiety, but still makes my anxiety worse creating a vicious circle).
@@DennisMoore664 I have a doberman, he is super sensitive. I have always been super gentle with him and he with me and most people. He loves affection from most. But there are people he growls at, I raised him from a puppy so he has only known love. Best dog I ever had, yet he can sense people who are not right. He senses them way before I do. He is an amazing dog. Perhaps your moniker is a reflection of your personality. Most people's are. I can see why a dog might be agitated at a horseman of the apocalypse.
@@puppyupper4565 Okay then. I guess you told me.
Well, it might be not so bad. I experienced few times when the dogs literally got scared of me as hell. You pass by and think, am... am I baddie?.. They even didn't bark.
@MyGuitarTwerks don't listen this bs:D
I had similar problem in the past. Everything changed when I moved into the new dorm. It was a fenced community, and security folks tend to let their dogs go around after the midnight.
The dogs barked a lot on anyone who approached the territory, and even could attack you if you would mess up. We were students, and you know, even with the dogs, from time to time, we came back after the midnight. So security folks explained us how to interact with the dogs. Nothing very special - no running, let them sniff your fist. First few times, I came back with other guys, so it was helpful, and then I got used.
Not saying the steps are applicable to any dogs, but the best thing you can do is to ask a dog-guy/cynologist for a lesson on what to do/do not with the dogs. Shortly, learn and practice to interact.
If you anticipate that your dog will not do well in a situation, they will pick up on those cues and react upon them, feeding their (and your) anxiety. That's why training is SO important. It imparts confidence in your dog AND you.
Anyone who has a dog that they love already knows they can detect bad people.
Boxers are extremely good at pointing those type people out.
I've had friends that my Boxers want nothing to do with and it has made me more aware of those people.
I go to an off-leash park almost every day. The dogs and people have formed a pack. Our pack either excepts or rejects new dogs/people within a few seconds. The park is huge with miles of walking trails. If I arrive late and out pack is somewhere in the woods Ruby will start in the direction of the pack that we can join up. Ruby interacts differently with me or my wife within the pack. With me she more relaxed and playful. With my wife she is on guard. Some dogs can approach my wife and Ruby will not allow others.
Shame on you for allowing off leash mutts form a pack
I ran an beach side, Island Style Dinner Show for about 10 years here on Guam. Guam has a large population of feral dogs and we had about 9 or so that hung out under the stage on most days. I noticed that when Tourists walked along the beach, by the venue, the dogs paid no attention most of the time. But, when local strangers came by, they would all come out barking and make a fuss. They also seemed to know who was a potential beach bar customer and who was not. I observed this behavior for years and it always amazed me how they knew who was who. These were just feral pups with no humans training them about anything.
Many years ago when I worked as a parole officer in Nevada a drug dealer who had been released on parole moved into a trailer in the desert and bought a Rottweiler thinking it would deter me from visiting his residence. I went there looking for him on several ocassions when he was not home and his dog loved the attention and treats I would give him. Later, when he was home and I walked unmolested or even challenged by his dog the Parolee was quite distraught that his huge scary dog loved his parole officer. I think that dog would have protected me from him if push came to shove but dogs have always loved me.
you were probably also nicer to the dog than the owner who got the dog solely for intimidation purposes. *good doggie* who wants a belly rub??* owner looks on bewildered, lol
I had a friend who had a really mean pit pull I was the only person who could be in the same area as the dog. He would actually greet me like I was his best buddy. My friend was really perplexed lol

haha thats a beautiful story. i work in a rehab i can relate to this xD
Ha! Nice 👍🏼
I have wondered for a while if some dogs have better intuition than others. Or maybe it's just a difference in how they follow their intuition. I remember being outside in a group when I was at a mental health clinic, and a dog who was being walked by someone from a nearby building came up to meet me for the first time and he just plopped down right on my feet. In that moment I was feeling really depressed and his presence comforted me a lot. His name was Benny. There are dogs like Benny. But then there are yappers who seem to kind of just bark and sniff everything and don't seem interested in anything besides treats. All dogs have their own personality so I guess, so it seems plausible that some would be more inclined to comfort people than others. Dogs are interesting.
The "bad person" one is really just you trusting yourself. Your dog is reading your vibes, so if you don't trust someone, then your dog won't either. Whether you are right or not.
The first time I brought my ex to my house, I remember my dog growling at him for no obvious reason. Later on he turned out to be very verbally abusive, which is part of the reason I left him. I guess my dog sensed something I didn't. Very interesting.
All the people my dog growls at are criminals
The one she ignores arnt good to have around they just leach
The ones she accepts are good
Every time!!
Your dog didn't magically analyze your ex's psychological profile, that's just not real. Stop basing your knowledge on pseudo nonsense. The narrator kinda dropped a badly worded message at first, but then he made quite clear that it's body language recognition... something a lot of species constantly use.
Haha what a stupid way to think how it works
My dog loved my verbally abusive ex. She did growl at him a few times in moments he was being cruel, but then she'd go back to fawning over him.
Dogs react to behavior and moods, period. There are millions of murderers, rapists, bank robbers, etc. who all have had great relationships with their dogs, cats, parakeets and goldfish etc.
People are just really gullible, and will fall for just about anything, often over and over again. 🙄
My since-passed dog, who had no training, used to alert me when my blood sugar was too low. He also used to understand full sentences; I could tell him "go downstairs and get the kids, it's time for dinner", and he'd run down the stairs, bark at the other two dogs, and then they'll all run back up to get fed.
My long passed dog always knew when I was about to have a seizure, and she was never trained. She would start pulling me towards a bench or a high curb/railing, and then sit. She made sure that I could sit before I fell, and that I could use her for leverage. Then she would stand guard over me until she felt like I was safe again. She was sad when I found the right medication to keep my epilepsy under control, because then she didn't have a job to do. I had to start training her to do other things. Australian Shepherds really need to have a job.
I almost always used complete sentences when talking to my Golden Retriever…..and I swear he understood most of it. He was brilliant.
They have an amazing sense of smell. They must pick up on things like low blood sugar way quicker than we can. Sorry you dog has passed on x
I had a dog like that once named gypsy. In the early '80s I found her at a supermarket about to be put down by a sheriff with a shotgun. This was in the South so please understand that this is just the way things were done in the Hills. He was going to put her down because she had figured out the doors and would make mad dashes to the meat section on The Daily. I told him it was my dog. I had her for 2 months before my parents even realized it. She understood anything you said. And she could understand a lot of the things that you spelled, LOL
My mom would call my name and my dog would look for me
Thanks for such informative videos. It'll be helpful if you posted links in description to the studies that you mention in these videos!
I am one of those people who can go for a walk in the country in an area I have never before traversed, and come back with a pack of farm dogs tagging along.
I knew a young couple whose dog behaved diferently with me depending on which of the pair was present on the times I dropped by to visit. They were friends of my husband and I only managed to actally visit and interact with the dog five times.
I liked both of these people and I enjoyed their company. I also liked their dog.
When I was visiting and the man was there, the dog was relaxed with me.
The three trimes during our visits when the man left with my husband on an errand and it was just me and the woman there, her dog immediately became overly protective and aggressive with me; the third time, it even blocked my path, and grasped my arm firmly enough to leave a bruise when I walked towards the woman. There was no growling - ever, but the message was clear: stay away from my human.
I have never had a dog react like that towards me before or since.
I was puzzled by this, as the woman was always pleasant towards me and she came across as if she wanted to be my friend; I liked her and I had no problems being with and interacting with her; but I know enough about dog behaviour to know then to keep an eye on this person, as it was highly possible that her dog was picking up on what she truly thought of me. But the woman was so pleasant that I chalked it up to typical canine protective behaviour towards a stranger.
After she and her husband moved onto my farm for a couple of months (without the dog as my LGDs woud have probably killed it), it took less than a month for her facade to slip, and I could see that she did not like me at all; the reason why her dog behaved the way it did towards me whenever it was just the woman and myself together was due to the woman's negativity towards me and that she did not want me around her; the dog picked up on that and acted accordingly - as it should.
I'm diabetic, and when I was something like 10, I went to sleep to a diabetic friend. Her family had a big dog, and during the night, my blood sugar dropped, and the dog felt it and woke the parents up. They told me their dog would also do it for their daughter. Awesome
My husky was chill with everybody, never got aggressive or barked incessantly. But whenever my grandfather would show up, he'd get tense and start barking at him through the window. Even went as far as to show a bit of fear when he got close. He never got used to him after his frequent visits. Nothing about my grandfather set off alarm bells to me; he was a chill old man who never hurt anyone. But later on I heard that he was a bit of an animal abuser when he was a kid, twisting cat tails, smacking dogs around, that sorta thing. If he was sensing his past, it was pretty wild that he could tell after decades and decades ago. Like I said, this was literally the only person in the world he had issue with; strangers and people delivering packages he would just stare at with curiosity. Other family members like my uncle and cousin he would embrace their affection every time.
Thanks for this very informative information. Hopefully more people will learn to understand and respect dogs and other fellow animals more.
As a child had a standard Schnauzer. When there was a perceived threat to myself or my mother He would stand between the 2 arguing or threatened. My PTSD-C/balace Service dog has demonstrated this repeatedly over the last 9 years. Normally friendly calm he also blocks and alerts not only to ppl but also rattles! They are trully man's best friend in ways we are only now understanding. This video is a 😊 Really good explanation on dog behavior.
I can confirm in regards of being gone from my dog. I have been in and out of hospitals the past year due to stage 4 cancer. Every time I got home and some of these times were weeks long, she was reprehensive until she got a whiff of my scent. Then it would turn into trying to keep a 120 lb dog off of me while she was overjoyed I was home. Love my Princess! (my daughter named her)
Since I have autism and have trouble telling people's intentions, I rely on my dog to tell me if someone is good or not.
Honestly, not a bad tactic.
Unfortunately you can’t take them everywhere.
I have autism too. I deal with social anxiety. For some reason other people assume I have bad intentions. But dogs typically enjoy my company. I’ve seen people pass by me in public areas with dogs and the dogs would actually attempt to play with me. I think the world might be better off if people could bring dogs to more places. The dogs would certainly enjoy it.

This works for my younger brother Billy too. Interestingly enough, Billy has learned to pick up the signs that his dog picks up on. Thus, a dog teaching a human new tricks.
I moved from my mom’s house to my dad’s house to leave the country I was in. 1 year after I came back our dog was happy to see me, but he wouldn’t let me carry him anymore, nor hug him.
It surprised me because I got sent pictures of him sleeping in my bed during that year.
The next year when I visited again he tried to bite me, and was territorial towards me. Which he had only been when we first got him from the shelter.
Lil buddy probably thought that I abandoned him. Specially since or other dog who used to keep him company ended up dying not so much after I left.
Man's best friend indeed.
I can't explain how much I love dogs they literally bring so much comfort and happiness. My family thinks I'm crazy because I get along with dogs so good but I can just read their energy so well and reciprocate it
The dogs like you! That's a very nice indication that you are a very nice person!
It's sad how few people understand how amazing these animals are. We don't deserve dogs.
Oh boy.. We dont deserve pigs, cows and livestock in general, but dogs? Wtf, they are living the best, comfortable live with a clear distance of all animals. So why dont we deserve dogs?

My buddy had a dog in high school. He got a girlfriend and was staying with her and her mom awhile. During this time the chick broke up with him and tried to keep his dog. The police wouldn't do anything (They never really do anything about theft) so he just went over one day while he knew they wouldn't be home. Opened the window and she just jumped out into his arms and he brought her over to my parents' house. We found out she picked up a deep distrust of women. The older I get the more I wonder what they did to her to make her that way.
Fast forward a year or 2 and that same friend, who was living with us at the time, moved to a shitty little apartment and couldn't bring the dog with him. She stayed with my parents instead. My dad became her favorite person in the world, and she became indifferent towards my buddy when he came over to visit. She never stopped being distrustful of women, although she did eventually stop running away from my mom and actually let her pet her.
She was a great dog, and her puppy was the bestest buddy I could've ever asked for, and his puppies are the same.
The protectiveness does not apply to huskies. I have three and they are not protective AT all. They love absolutely everyone, though admittedly some people more than others. Our middle boy barked (which is a rarity for huskies period) at a neighbor twice and it was such an event that I purposely avoided that neighbor on walks, just in case. My godkid has type 1 diabetes and they rescued a 1 yr old mix of a bunch of breeds from the shelter. Dog has never been trained, but he has consistently awakened her whenever her blood sugar is low, I swear to God he can smell it, it’s incredible. He is the best boy ❤️
Dogs can also be bad at detecting bad people. When I was in high school my girlfriend's dog absolutely hated me. I thought it was odd because normally dogs (and kids) usually love me. It really bothered me, why? Then one day I guess he decided I was okay after all. From that point on that little black dog named Murphy would NOT leave me alone. It was so bad, they literally had to put him in another room when I visited. I really liked it better when he hated me. Dogs can be as weird as people.
Like the video mentioned that dogs can remember previous bad experiences and maybe that dig had a bad experience with someone that looked like you or wore the same scent (cologne, deodorant, etc). Once the dog had the epiphany you weren't the person from the bad memory, you became their bestie..much to your chagrin 🤣
@@unfree.radical Or, for a while, he was ill-at-ease in his girlfriend's house. Nervous about impressing parents or something, maybe. Then as he grew more comfortable, the dog responded to the shift in confidence.
Shouldn't drug dogs just so they befriend you man, not cool
or maybe he was jealous. Could also be :D
A lot of times, I found, that when a dog does not trust you, is afraid of you, it's usually because you remind them of someone who may have abused them, or got aggressive with them in the past.
I knew a German Sheppard who hated people in uniform, whether it was a maintenance person, or mailman or whatever. When he saw that uniform it made him very uneasy. He was fine with anyone else, and so we figured he must of been treated badly by someone in a uniform. Perhaps a mechanic because he was adopted. We were told he came form a junk yard situation and was used as a guard dog to guard the yard in all kinds of conditions.
I delivered for a supermarket and always had a treat for the customers’ dogs. Some customers were concerned their dog might bite; it never happened. They knew I loved them all. The other drivers often told me they’d met one of my ‘friends’. Those dogs never forgot the van and the man in the cap!
My neighbors' dogs do that to the FEDEX and UPS driver - they give out treats!
Begging for tips
Thank you very much for sharing us no more people will know what I've been telling them forever I love my dogs definitely there Angels without wings and they make me a better person
Moods of a person not judging as a overall person
I have general and social anxiety, dogs sense this and bark at me, it really upsets me that people always assume this means I am a bad person. A lot of animals gravitate towards me as well.
This happened to me last weekend. My brother in laws mother's dog was barking and growling at me, but nobody else. I'm like the nicest guy too..I love dogs. I have no idea why it happened
@@chriso9505 I really think its more complex than people make it out to be, it's definitely not always because we are inherently untrustworthy. We could smell like an animal we crossed paths with perhaps. It always hurts my feelings when animals don't like me lol.
they can react even if you are a little nervous, specially if the owner is not a confident person, or very unstable (people with loudest dogs tends to be the most unstable lol)
Dogs just letting you know its higher up the pecking order
Good point - those dogs are reacting to your anxiety, likely confused and misinterpreting the vibe.
Great video ! My wife is a type 1 Diabetic and we do have a diabetic alert dog. I can't thank Dogs4Diabetics enough ! I can't count how many times these dogs have saved my wife's life. It takes many people to get these dogs trained. I have an insatiable gratitude for everyone at Dogs4Diabetics.
Some of this can be seen in cats as well, though usually it's not all that noticable or important.
A cat my cousin's family owned would show levels of trust towards me that they were surprised by, because he's usually shy and will just not approach people in general, yet even during busy social gatherings he would happily approach me for some attention, then leave to whatever cats usually do when people aren't looking.
I had an American Bulldog named Raven and went through a bad divorce. She really helped me through it. When I started dating my now husband, before we got too serious he had to pass The Raven Test. If my dog didn't like him I wasn't going further with him. I had my sister bring my dog outside to neutral ground to meet him, and I stood apart from him so as not to give her signals. Needless to say she liked him so he passed. But I've learned to trust what dogs think of people.
My AB was a wonderful friend and judge of character miss Jake a lot
I used to be a dog sitter. One day a contractor came to give me a quote, and my dog (a trained service animal) and a pitty who was sweeter than sugar both acted aggressive. I didn't hire the guy because of this, and he acted like a crazy person. Trust your dogs, and other people's lol.
i found my little 4 legged friend as i came back from grocery shopping.... some "person" had left him on the road... that was 2 years ago. I started saying I rescued him.... 2 years later i say He rescued Me ❤🌹
So true. My little Maltese knew instantly which people would be kind to me and which wouldn’t. He also knew when I was depressed even though I was putting on a happy face.
I have a purebred chihuahua who charms everyone, even the chihuahua haters. Not only is she stinkin’ cute, she is also incredibly smart and confident. She is my service dog in training, and she LOVES to work. She has been tasking for me for over a year, and she’ll be 2 in October. Her retrievals are almost legendary among SD handlers in my area. She is also the “sniffiest” dog I’ve ever met, her nose is always to GE ground (which we’re working on, because it’s generally not appropriate for a working SD). I discovered that she can smell when I’m having asthma symptoms. She can detect it from other people too - including the dog behaviorist we’re working with. So we’re working on shaping that into an alert and a response. She is also being trained to perform tasks/do work related to psychiatric disabilities.
A lot of folks knew a long time ago to trust their fur babies. Both of my girls know when I'm in a lot of pain or when my heart is about to go into AFIB, my bigger girl has now 7 time's hit my chest hard enough and center to get my heart to start back if it stops when I'm sleeping. She has no type of professional training to do this.
That's amazing. They are angels
I hate the words fur babies lmao
Lies

In other words, dogs don't like people with anxiety problems. Great definition of bad people. Thanks to the author of this video for spreading beliefs that discriminate against people who already have a hard time.
Trained my dog to alert before a heart attack is going to happen. She surprised me and alerted on someone else and we were able to prevent another attack. I was not expecting an alert across people but it happened and we believed her when she alerted. The person didn’t know how she had been trained but they told me what she had done and I told them that was what she was trained to do so we prevented another attack. I had a friend who had a dog that didn’t like someone and i told her to trust her dog and she was safe because she believed her dog. That same dog was always happy to see me.
I had a Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix that was the sweetest dog ever, she was super friendly & usually loved everyone. One day my boyfriend’s Aunt came to visit from out of town, as soon as she walked through the door & my dog saw her she ran in the bedroom, hid under the bed & started growling/barking like crazy the whole time she was there. She had NEVER acted that way before & never did after that. I immediately knew something was off with his Aunt, I later found out she wasn’t the best person. My dog knew it immediately! Dogs are incredible creatures ❤️❤️
My dogs would accept treats from the devil in person.....😄
Lol smart dog
😂
Dogs can be trained at the puppy stage , to not eat anything until he does his “work”
5:50 Dogs are such beautiful, welcoming souls that they attack 3 quarters of people who feel nervous or afraid around them 🙄
I guess there's a reason one dog I had, was really close to my stepfather, but during the separation of my Mom and him, smelling another woman on him, when he cheated on my Mom had her go ballistic. She wouldn't let him near her, and bared her fangs at him.
She was a husky/Retriever mix. Very loyal and gentle. Lucky for him, she was in her pen, rather than wandering outside. (She was a free-roaming farmdog)
This is why they are precious gifts
As a life long dog owner, I'm all in with the premise that dogs know people. As for the scientific studies portrayed here, I'm skeptical.
My dog only seems to react positively to someone he has met several times. He's not angry or mean to strangers, just keeps his distance. My ex wife had given me a pair of handmade sandals. My dog chewed them up (he never chews anything). So...there's that.
Dogs do not know people. Dogs respond to stimuli. There could be an entire volume of reasons that set a dog off that have nothing to do with a person's character.
Will dogs get it right some of the time? Absolutely. But even a broken clock is correct twice a day. Dogs, just like humans get things wrong just as often as they get things right. You may have had a dog that seemed quite discerning, but then how would you really know for certain? Maybe hindsight showed the dog was right about the person's character. So what? It's anecdotal and a very unreliable way to determine whether or not a person has a moral character.
I will trust my own instincts on human behavior over a dog's every single time.
@@Aquascape_Dreaming you are correct. It is just very cool how a dog is able to react to certain things we humans give off. It’s a strong instinct for them. And for us we would feel is the vibes and just action and their thought process in general.
What @Aquascape Dreaming said Dog not God in my opinion.
Thank you for saying something.
@@Aquascape_Dreaming Logically I think you're correct. That said, I've never been lied to by a dog.
Dogs are Heaven sent in my opinion,love me some dogs❤️❤️❤️
I am a big cat person, and don’t like dogs.. All the dogs on my street hate me and bark when I’m running by every night.. I’ve never yelled back or anything. 😹
I had a Cockapoo named Emma and she lived for 16 years. We got her as a puppy but after a few years had to give her away to a new owner, well years later they new owner went to a nursing home and couldn't take Emma, I received a call asking if I wanted her back, of course I said YES!!! After a decade+ Emma jumped into my arms and instantly recognized and remembered me. What a sweet reunion...she has since passed, R.I.P. Emma.
