Dogs are very intelligent
"Dogs are very intelligent. They understand much more than men choose to give them credit for. Their pride is enormous, and through this feeling they are easily moved. Laughter, when directed against himself, no dog can endure, and the slightest reprimand is always answered by an immediate change of aspect. Rather than have their dignity offended, dogs will quickly become honest, especially when deceit is experienced to be of no avail. People who are physiognomists may detect this sentiment impressed upon the countenance."

Thus, disarming a sassy dog with a wise act of kindness helps them submit when properly required: providing a win-win scenario and respect for all who are due. 🐶🐕🐕🦺 Amen Gary. Peace.

They really are. Dogs’ intelligence and pride deserve recognition! On the contrary, cats are self-reliant. Dogs are more honest and emotional but cats are more independent. I also have a cat and recommend Revolution for Cats Without Vet Prescription meds. They are really useful.
