Why Your Dog Isn't Plotting Against You
Picture your dog's face after destroying your favorite shoes-head lowered, eyes averted, body crouched. Guilt, right? Actually, no. That "guilty look" is simply your dog reading your angry body language and offering appeasement signals. Dogs don't understand morality. They can't feel guilty about chewing shoes any more than a toddler feels guilty about gravity when they drop a glass. This misunderstanding-believing dogs think like small, furry humans-creates most of the friction in our relationships with them. We tell ourselves comforting stories about dogs. They want to please us. They feel remorse. They understand when they've been "bad." These beliefs feel good, but they're profoundly wrong-and that wrongness has real consequences for dog welfare. Consider the "desire to please" myth. When your dog watches you intently during training, you might think it's devotion. In reality, your dog is calculating probabilities: "When the human makes that sound and does that gesture, food appears." Dogs aren't interested in our internal emotional states except for how they predict outcomes relevant to survival and comfort. The dominance myth causes even more damage. Behaviors like pulling on leash or rushing through doorways get labeled "dominance problems," justifying harsh corrections. But a dog who bolts through the door isn't staging a coup-they're excited about what's outside and haven't been taught to wait. When a dog doesn't come when called, it's not defiance; competing motivations simply outrank your recall cue at that moment. Entire training philosophies built on "establishing dominance" miss the point entirely: dogs learn through consequences and associations, not power struggles. Understanding this distinction transforms how we approach training-from a battle of wills to a partnership based on clear communication.
