Dog owners often unwittingly trigger certain behaviours in their pets, without realising the implications of their actions. While the owners may not understand what they did, the dog's perception of the situation is entirely different. Due to the data it has collected, the dog's brain sees this as a cue to run a particular program.
This phenomenon is not uncommon, and it's a result of a dog's ability to learn and adapt to its en...
