Dog Trivia & Information

By Garrett McMahan


Dogs are inquisitive type of animals, but are also loyal companions and also very loving. You may already know a lot of things about this hairy companion, but the following can also be a few dog things you may not know yet.

The love for dogs by Americans is a fact. The world over, the United States is even known to have the largest population of domesticated dogs. As many as one million dogs are even named as beneficiaries in their owner's will, and this is strong manifestation of the dog and human bond.

There is even the myth that dogs can see only in black and white, and this is already for many years. There are also studies however, that dogs can see colors to some extent, and this studies are by some scientists. Dogs only have two cones while the human eyes have three. This can mean that they may not be able to distinguish other shades, while they can see colors like blue and yellow. Dogs beat humans when it is already dark because they have better vision at night, although they may not be able to enjoy the rainbow colors that humans see.

We also know that dogs have more advanced hearing sense compared to that of humans. Dogs can hear sounds in frequencies that the human ear may not be able to hear. It can also be interesting however to see that when dogs are born, they are deaf and their ear canals are closed. After a few weeks however, the puppies develop these enough for them to hear and eventually, they can see also.

They can understand a variety of commands, either in verbal form or through gestures, although they may not be able to speak our language. They can learn more than 200 gestures and also verbal commands, and this is also a fact. You may feel that your dog is not capable of learning obedience skills, and this you may think when you try training your dog. The approach that you use can be a big factor however. If you use a comprehensive program such as The Dog's Way, you will know that obedience training can be done, and this when you start training your dog.

This set of dog training DVDs provides owners with a dozen easy lessons that will help you not only better understand your pet, but also teach him or her a wide variety of important skills, such as dog leash training. You also can train a dog to come when called and not run away from you, as well as to obey commands such as sit, stay, lay down and much more. Another interesting fact to keep in mind - studies show that well-trained, obedient dogs tend to live longer lives. At any rate, you definitely will enjoy your dog all the more if he or she is a happy, safe and obedient companion.
