In this episode of the Dog Psychology Podcast, we discuss the topic of dogs' memory and how it differs from human memory. We explore the concept of associative memory in dogs, where memories are triggered by specific stimuli. We also discuss the role of smell in dogs' memory retrieval and how it is the primary sense associated with memory. We emphasize the importance of understanding how dogs remember in order to effectively train them.
The conversation also touches on the fallibility of human memory and the power of associations in shaping our perception of events. We share memorable experiences in dog training, including a funny incident with barking dogs and a unique technique involving gleeking to calm a dog. In this conversation, we share memories and discuss the power of associations in dog training. We recount our experiences with challenging dogs and the lessons they learned. We also explore the concept of re-associating and creating new associations to change emotional responses.
The conversation touches on various topics, including the importance of understanding dog behavior, the role of expectations in training, and the impact of smells and sounds on memories. Overall, the discussion highlights the complexity of dog training and the need for thoughtful and intentional approaches.
