Is it your understanding for puppies wolf instinct inherited from their ancestors? Perhaps a sign that the dogs distinguish good from evil, say scientists who gathered at a symposium in Budapest Kennel Club? Professor Marc Bekoff from the University of Colorado, for example, says that 10 thousand years of selective breeding could be sufficient to pets began to distinguish good and bad behavior. In his opinion the proof that they comply with the rules and expect the same from other individuals, is that the dog play rarely develop into a real fight. Professor Bekoff is probably right, at least when it comes to domesticated dogs. Hordes of half-wild dogs in India or South America are probably morally developed - but their cousins who lived under one roof with the man had probably at least know the basic rules of not saying what and what not. Please note that the primary motivation is the satisfaction of every dog owner. Friend, Dima Yeremenko - handler and dog charmer "from North London - explains that for my pets while I guide the flock and the host. Each dog, both young and old, quickly learns what behaviors deserve the prize, and it does not pay. Dima says that punishment is unnecessary. Punishment is to withhold a sufficient reward. Soon after that, as Jasper was with us - he was already the third Dalmatians in our house - he had to face a serious challenge. At home there were two small kittens, which at the sight of the great dog just fell into a frenzy. Hissed, scratched and furious. Jasper also initially was filled with murderous instincts. Over the next few days forced the creatures to eat right next to each other. Hand fed them. The more the nearer to each other, the more goodies were provided. A week later, all three have lived in great friendship - the cats slept in one basket with Jasper, often stacked on it. Know little about the minds of cats (no one hardly fathom ...), but Jasper learned that of these two satisfied his master. Understood it well enough that when I finally - after a long - he once caught a squirrel, to hold it in his mouth just for a moment, then let her get away. I think that such behavior does not result merely from a desire to receive the prize, but in the discernment of good and bad behavior. Myself have three dogs at home, I know hundreds of others, and I like to think that these creatures are good by nature. Yes, certain types of people treat certain breed of dog - pitbull, amstaffs  and various hybrids of these breeds - such as weapons. You can not hide the fact that some of these animals in fact, over time become "bad dogs". But there are also many that land in shelters because their owners are disappointed with their gentle nature. It's a real pleasure to see how packed furious when his pitbull studs in the collar at the sight of my Jasper instead of growl, tail happily Observing the meeting for the first time dogs also makes us think that they are creating a cultural nature and friendly, though not in this case has nothing to do with human education. Dogs - if they are not on a leash - usually closer to one another by showing a friendly curiosity. Expectant tail, cultural and if the other party is behaving too brazenly, at the most quiet roar of warning. Just look how tiny york confidently walks up to a huge Irish wolfhound, which - if only he wanted - could swallow him like. The mere fact that these two completely different creation itself will recognize the members of the same species a miracle. And the fact that they treat each other politely and respectfully, it could be an important lesson for many owners. However, even in the company of the human desire to be a good dog does not arise solely from respect for the owner. Exhibitions and demonstrations Dalmatians are classified as "working dogs". Maybe someday, when they were used as police dogs, was the sense. Today, only the work of our Dalmatians are happy greeting visitors and fun with people. Jasper loves to rush to the door and enthusiastically greet everyone who enters the house. Of course, the greatest happiness turns at the sight of the household, but also treats guests with full power joy. Perhaps it would be a slight exaggeration to say that dogs can sense human emotions. It should draw attention to the members, which my wife Valerie was good for my book about our last "One Man and His Dog" ( "The dog and his man"). "My husband did not write one more important thing: the superiority of a dog over a child. The dog does not reproach you, do not interfere with you, do not wear crazy clothes bought in a shop with used clothing, not criticize you for your human weakness. When you go back home, always waiting for you and welcome you happy - even if it came out only to throw away garbage. And when before going for a walk looking for gloves, glasses, phone, and waits patiently tail. Exactly. Even when it is really sad - for example, sees the packed suitcases - Jasper Eeyore show his mood very discreetly: just lie with the nose facing towards the wall. Earlier this week, spent two days and one night at a veterinary clinic. He had a catheter embedded in the paw, underwent surgery requiring general anesthesia, and in addition spent the night in a strange place. Had to be unhappy and bewildered. But our vet was delighted with his patience and good humor. - Your dog act like a gentleman - he said. Well, maybe he has something to do with the ability to distinguish good and bad behavior that dogs seized from the man. But I think it's simply a dog's nature ...
