Ep. 265: Early Education for Puppies

The way we live with dogs has change significantly over the past few decades.  Our pets are a part of the family, and as such, we want to give them every advantage possible, including a great education.  Dr. Brian Hare has been studying dog cognition for years, and his recent project involves monitoring the cognitive development of puppies starting at nine weeks.  He calls it “Puppy Kindergarten”, which we can all agree is an adorable name.  The purpose of this school is to play games and run tests on their puppies to see how their brains develop, and how to train them to maximize their different areas of intelligence.  We discuss this process, and how to pick the best career path for your dog.  Plus we discuss how dogs develop such unique personalities and why we love that so much.
