 Ping Zero - Zero
>> I know, I know, anthropomorphism, but still....

Tis true that humans try to understand dogs by attributing human characteristics to their behaviour, mostly to the detriment of both, humans chatter incessantly to dogs who in turn just hear white noise frustrating both dog and human.


However a form of canine jealousy actually exists, but is more akin to the human "fear of missing out" - albeit in a more feral "basic needs" form.

Take your dog out for a walk, then make a fuss of another - Its likely your dog will either a: Transfer attention to the owner of the other dog in an obviously exhibitionist form or b: intervene by blocking the other dog from you, or c : exhibit some attention seeking behaviour.

Is that Jealousy or Ownership?, Getting its place in the pecking order known before the interloper joins the pack?

Evie and nessa had a fantastic example. New pup was getting a string of visitors all day, all making a fuss of her, people who normally fawn over Evie.

I could see* Evie getting more and more frustrated by her body language, till near the end of the day pup passed her by, at a respectable distance, and Evie just lunged at her with no provocation**. Pup is quick and was out of it just in time.

* Watching her just to check, ** but Didnt see that coming at that time.


When I do some training with Evie, is she far more keen and attentive than she used to be pre pup? you bet your boots she is, Is this an attempt to impress me? anthropomorphism? who knows but it is very real and probably part of her need to maintain pack order.
