Netflixโ€˜s latest documentary, Inside the Mind of a Dog, explores what makes our furry friends tick, revealing how dogs connect and communicate with their owners while attempting to tackle the all-important question of whether they truly love their humans. ๐Ÿพ

As the title suggests, Inside the Mind of a Dog comes from director Andy Mitchell following his earlier venture into the world of cats with 2022โ€™s Inside the Mind of a Cat. This time, we are let into the minds of humansโ€™ best friends and the various scientific and emotional insights about their relationships with their owners.

According to Dr Vanessa Woods, the director of the Puppy Kindergarten at Duke University, both humans and dogs rely on eye contact as a means of communication while also sharing whatโ€™s called the โ€œlove hormone.โ€ When dog owners question what it means when their dogs stare lovingly at them, it often means that theyโ€™re experiencing a feeling of excitement and appreciation, or in scientific terms, a rush of oxytocin.

โ€œThere is a lot of what we call convergence between dogs and humans,โ€ Woods explained to Salon. โ€œBasically theyโ€™ve hijacked this oxytocin loop. When your dog stares at you and you stare back at your dog, it increases your oxytocin and it increases their oxytocin. Theyโ€™ve taken over this neurological loop that we developed between our children and ourselves. And for another species to do that is quite extraordinary.โ€

The documentary, which is narrated by Rob Lowe, whose pets are also featured, explores the various ways owners can better understand their pets, including knowing which barks indicate a higher level of stress than others. For instance, if a dog is barking at a high pitch repeatedly, it is in a high state of distress. If the barks appeal higher in pitch but with pauses in between, the dog still has some cognitive ability.

The documentary also shows that dogs communicate with their tails to let owners know if they are agitated, anxious, curious, or excited. Despite dogs only having 16 facial expressions, as opposed to humansโ€™ 27, they rely on their eyes, barks, and tails to communicate the emotions and messages that their faces canโ€™t.

According to Dr Brian Hare, a professor of evolutionary anthropology at Duke University, the documentary teaches viewers that, although dogs are commonly mistaken for simple pets without complex minds, the opposite is true.

โ€œWe now have overwhelming evidence that dogs have multiple intelligences โ€” these different types of cognition already emerge in puppies but first appear at different times,โ€ Hare explained. Adding: โ€œSome cognitive skills appear early, like the ability to read human gestures, and other cognitive skills, like self-control, come online a bit later. Understanding how the puppy mind develops helps us manage our expectations of what puppies can do or learn while they are growing up.โ€

Inside the Mind of a Dog is currently streaming on Netflix.

Welcome Ziggy to the Outdoorsie Pawsies team! โญ๏ธ

๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธI started walking Ziggy at the weekend and he is a pleasure to walk already.

๐Ÿถ I introduced him to his new fur-iends today that heโ€™ll be walking with for the next 4 weeks and heโ€™s settling in really well.

๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธI let him off lead for the whole hour today and he had great recall with me and had a little chase with the other doggies to burn off some energy.

๐ŸŒณ We also had some little time outs to rest in the shade and for some water and treat breaks.

๐Ÿงข Itโ€™s lovely having you with us Ziggy! ๐Ÿงข

Welcome Maisie the Mini Schnauzer to the Outdoorsie Pawsies team! ๐ŸŒผ

๐ŸฆฎI walked Maisie for the first time this week and kept her to lead walks until we get to know each other.

๐Ÿถ She had a little play with the doggies and is getting used to my voice and settling in really well already.

๐Ÿ’› Welcome to the team, Maisie! ๐Ÿ’›

My doggies on the cooling mats, straight from the fridge! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿฉตโ„๏ธ

โ„๏ธ I have a fridge in my garden specifically for my doggies to store my cooling mats in for them now the hot weather is here.

๐Ÿฉต I store them in the fridge on the coolest setting and leave them in there overnight so once I put them in the car, they are nice and cool for the dogs to sit on after their walk in the park.

These reduce the doggies temperature throughout their whole body from their paws upwards to help them cool down after their walk

I also have air-conditioning on all the time while we are all in the car

๐ŸŒณ All of my dog walks will be taking place in shaded areas of the parks now the hot weather is here and we will keep away from the pavements as much as possible

๐Ÿ’ฆ Water breaks will be more frequent and we will be making more little stops to enable my doggies to cool down.

๐Ÿ•๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธI will not be encouraging my doggies to run and if they do get very hot then I may need to reduce the length of the dog walk slightly if I feel we need to.

Thank you ๐Ÿถ
