Dive into the fascinating insights from her research at the Horowitz Dog Cognition Lab and discover why dogs might not be smiling when we think they are. Through personal anecdotes and scientific observations, we explore the rich emotional lives of dogs and how our relationships with them reflect our own personalities and behaviors.We promise a fresh perspective on human-animal relationships, particularly the unique bond we share with our furry friends. From the joy and playfulness that dogs bring to our lives to the complex emotions involved in the loss of a pet, this episode covers it all. We chat about the intriguing notion that people often choose dogs that mirror their own traits, and the ongoing debate on whether dogs are a subspecies of wolves or a distinct species entirely. Our discussion also touches on Dr. Horowitz's exploration of the olfactory world of dogs, as detailed in her book "Being a Dog."Listeners will be captivated by the philosophical considerations of cloning pets and the unmatched uniqueness each new animal brings into our lives. We share touching stories that highlight dogs' resilience and the deep gratitude they exhibit, especially those mixed-breed "res dogs" from the Navajo reservation. This episode will leave you with a profound appreciation for dogs and the valuable insights they provide into our own lives, encouraging a more thoughtful approach to understanding these remarkable companions.To work with me one on one or inquire more head over to www.nicobarraza.comTo learn more about Dr. Horotwiz's work head to her website and purchase her books here https://alexandrahorowitz.net/Support the showWarmly,Nico Barraza@FeedTheSoulNBwww.nicobarraza.com

We all tend to want to impress others with our accomplishments or skills or whatever else that makes us exceptional. Yet there is a real problem with trying to appear so exceptional. This episode begins with an explanation. Source: Steve Chandler, author of 50 Ways To Create Great Relationships (https://amzn.to/3e7uIYk). Are there actually people who have a fear or phobia about buttons? Or popcorn? Of course! People have phobias about lots of things. It sure makes you wonder why. Where do phobias originate? What's the difference between a fear and phobia? Can you make a phobia disappear or are you stuck with it? Here with a look inside the world of phobias is Kate Summerscale author of The Book of Phobias & Manias : A History of Obsession (https://amzn.to/3e7vjcw). If you have a dog, you probably think you know your dog well. But maybe not says Alexandra Horowitz. She is a researcher who studies dog behavior and cognition and she is author of the book The Year of The Puppy: How Dogs Become Themselves (https://amzn.to/3CmfaYO). She joins me to reveal what dogs really think – or don't think, how intelligent they are and what we can do to improve our bond with dogs.  Conventional wisdom is that you should change the oil in your car every 3,000 miles. However, that is very OLD conventional wisdom – and totally untrue.  Listen and you will save time, money, and the planet by not changing your oil so often. https://www.edmunds.com/car-maintenance/stop-changing-your-oil.html Learn more about your ad choices.

Who doesn't love a dog nose? They're cute, often very wet and way better at smelling the world than our puny human noses. Dog noses are one of the few places dogs don't have hair. But what about inside? Do they have nose hair like we do? We asked dog researcher Alexandra Horowitz to help us find the answer.Got a question that's giving you a ruff time?

If you had $50,000, would you clone your best friend? Some dog owners are saying yes. Alexandra Horowitz is senior research fellow and head of the Dog Cognition Lab at Barnard College, Columbia University. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the new and unregulated industry of pet cloning, its hit-or-miss successes, and if this is even something that we should be doing. Her article “Would You Clone Your Dog?” appeared in The New Yorker.

You can always tell when your dog is happy, right: wagging tails and excited, playful barking speak for themselves? But it's not so easy to tell why your pooch is sad or even depressed. Let's try to figure out the most common reasons your fluffy friend might be upset. TIMESTAMPS You haven't set a daily routine and rules for your dog 0:25 You like to dress up your dog 1:17 You use words more than body language 2:01 You tease your pet 2:55 You pull on your dog's leash 3:29 You don't take your dog's fear of water seriously 4:58 You hug your dog 5:30 You yell at your dog 6:15 You don't play with your dog enough. 7:05 You leave your pet alone. 7:54 You let strangers pet your dog. 10:34 You're depressed. 9:15 SUMMARY - Dogs want, and even need, rules to follow! Consistency makes the world predictable to them, so they become more confident and less stressed. - It's OK to put a sweater or a coat on your dog during walks if you have a toy breed or a breed with short hair. Your best bet is a blend of washable wool and cotton or acrylic. - They rely on your body language to try to figure out how you feel or what you think. - Remember this: what's funny for a human, can be hurtful and offensive for an animal. - Your dog can not only read your body language, but also the leash tension levels. When you pull it, you signal that you're tense, nervous, or on alert, causing stress. - Most dogs love swimming in the open water because it makes them feel free. However, even breeds that love swimming in lakes, lying in puddles, and running through lawn sprinklers might hate taking baths. - Dr. Alexandra Horowitz has pointed out the typical signs of a dog feeling uncomfortable during a hug: ears pinned back, lip licking, yawning, and trying to get away. - Dogs are afraid of loud sounds and can't understand what you want from them. If you're unhappy with your dog's behavior, take a certain pose of your choosing, and make an upset facial expression. - Your pet needs to release its energy, and if you can't help with this, it'll find its own way. And you won't like it. Playing with your dog is important. - Spend as much time as possible with it when you're home. Follow a precise schedule. - Veterinary behaviorist Dr. Ilana Reisner explains that your dog's character or mood can be different, and even the most sociable and kind dog can be reactive. - If you've noticed that your dog is sad, pay attention to your own state of mind. Your pet feels your mood, and if you feel bad, your dog can become depressed too. #dogbehavior #brightside #dogvideo Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook:   / brightside   Instagram:   / brightgram   5-Minute Crafts Youtube: https://www.goo.gl/8JVmuC Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Alexandra Horowitz is a cognitive scientist who teaches courses like canine cognition and animal behavior at Barnard College in New York. She's also an acclaimed author, and a sampling of her books include The Year of the Dog, Our Dogs Ourselves, The Year of the Puppy, and Inside of a dog. Suffice it to say that Alexandra knows quite a bit about dogs, and she's an expert at sharing her knowledge. That's why we are so excited to have her on the podcast this week.In our conversation we travel wide ground, and discuss things like how barking is unique to dogs, why it's a mistake to say that one dog breed is friendlier than another, how dogs have been selected to seek our attention, and the extreme subtlety of inter-dog communication. We end on a discussion of what walking with other people and listening to them observe teaches you about how to observe. Regardless of whether you have a dog, are a dog observer, or just a generally curious person, Alexandra Horowitz has a great deal to share.

On this episode of #ReadingWithYourKids we answer wie explore puppy love and Bubble troubles. Alexandra Horowitz, celebrates her new book The Year of the Puppy. She discussed her career studying dog behavior and cognition. She explained how dogs were domesticated from wolves over thousands of years through selective breeding. Horowitz also talked about common misconceptions people have about dogs, like thinking they form dominance hierarchies like wolves. Later in the episode Ellwyn Autumn returns to celebrate  her new picture book, A Fish Named Fancy. The book is about a boy fish named Fancy who likes to make shapes with his bubbles instead of circles like the other fish. He goes on an adventure to find others who are different too. Autumn said the book promotes acceptance of uniqueness and individuality. As a teacher, she talked about how kids as young as preschool age can start to form cliques and exclude others. Both authors provided advice for parents on how to help kids who feel left out, like encouraging other interests and hobbies to find friends.

“Unless we explore our neighborhood, we can't imagine what might be right under our noses, nor be able to celebrate it, mourn its demise, or take action.” –Alastair Humphreys In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Alastair Humphreys discuss the concept of his new book Local: A Search for Nearby Nature and Wilderness (1:30); what Alastair found on his close-to-home adventures in England (7:00); the surprises he found in industrial and post-industrial environments (13:00); how he learned to pay better attention to the natural environment in the areas he explored (19:30); “rights of access,” and how it affects hiking in Europe; and the idea of the “big here” versus the “small here” (25:00); how Alastair sought to embrace “stillness” during his experiment (33:30); how the changing of the seasons affected his experience of the local environments (40:30); and the role that imagination plays in having adventures close to home (48:00). Alastair Humphreys (@Al_Humphreys) is an English adventurer, author and motivational speaker. He is responsible for the rise of the idea of the microadventure – short, local, accessible adventures.

Title:  Biden's dog Commander has bitten Secret Service officers ten times in four months, Records show and Consider This Before You Judge Commander (or Any Other Dog)Source: AP, NY Times https://apnews.com/article/biden-dog-secret-service-commander-bite-89448214f0832edabd28940f7a2c8d4chttps://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/01/opinion/commander-biden-dog-biting-german-shepherd.htmlhttps://apnews.com/article/biden-commander-dog-bite-secret-service-e2592d3996381ea82e24a13d6666de77Date: July 25, 2023Situation:The Biden's German Shepherd Dogs Keeps on Biting People at the White House.Secret Service records show that President Joe Biden's German Shepherd Dog Commander has bitten agency officers stationed at the White House 10 times between October 2022 and January. At least one biting incident required a trip to the hospital for the injured officer.ProblemThe President's dog keeps biting people. This dog, Commander, is their second dog to bite secret service members. Major, the other dog, also bit White House staffMajor was sent to live with friends in Delaware after the bites. White House staff point out that the White House is a unique and often stressful environment. And that the Bidens are working through ways to improve the situation. Chief spokesperson for the Secret Service said, “The Secret Service navigates how best to operate around family pets, and these incidents are no exception. We take the safety and well-being of our employees extremely seriously.”Biden received Commander in December 2021 as a gift from his brother James. The records released cover a fraction of his year and a half as a presidential pet.On November 3rd, 22, a uniformed officer was bitten twice. The officer suffered injuries serious enough to require aid at the White House and at the hospital and was placed on restricted duty for several days. Action/ What's happening Jill Biden's Spokesperson said, “The Bidens have been working with the Secret Service and the White House residence staff “on additional leashing protocols and training” for the Commander and establishing designated areas where he can run around for exercise.Secret Service Spokesperson said, “While special agents and officers neither care for nor handle the first family's pets, we continuously work with all applicable entities to minimize adverse impacts in an environment that includes pets,” Commander is often seen being led around by the White House's chief groundskeeper. Chief government relations officer of the Humane Society of the United States and president of the Humane Society Legislative Fund said dog bites can happen for a variety of reasons, and the odds of it happening can be reduced by understanding the signals a dog sends when it is in an uncomfortable situation and removing whatever is causing fear or stress. But sometimes, changing a dog's environment may not be enough to keep them from biting.The Biden's are seeking the help of a professional dog trainer.The AP reported on Oct. 5th that Commander was sent to an undisclosed location.  ResultOther questions: Why did James give them a GSD? Are GSD good white house dogs? This is a touchy situation Stressful lifeTrained fighting men dressed in suits everywhere The owner does not have the time to train the dog or to do the things needed to change the dog's behavior. Managing the environment to prevent bites is possible. Other Presidents with biting pet dogs Alexandra Horowitz wrote in the NY Times, “Commander is not the first biter in the White House. The Bidens' previous dogs, Champ and Major, were sent back to Delaware in March 2021 after what was described as a biting incident. Teddy Roosevelt had a bull terrier called Pete who bit a Navy Department clerk and tore off the pants of the French ambassador. Franklin D. Roosevelt exiled his dog — also, coincidentally, a German shepherd called Major — after he bit the British prime minister, as well as the first woman elected to the Senate, Hattie Caraway (Lest anyone start hand-wringing about German shepherds, Eleanor Roosevelt's Scottish terrier Meggie, a squat, short-legged dog, was a biter: She was sent away after biting a journalist.)”Closing You can find us at https://www.facebook.com/peopleswolfpodhttps://www.instagram.com/thepeopleswolfpodcast/peopleswolfpod@gmail.comMusic Produced by: WaresdannyIG: @waresdanny, Website: https://waresdanny.bandzoogle.com/home

It's a debate as old as time: when it comes to a household pet, which four legged furball makes the best companion? On one side, we have the independent, low maintenance feline, she who is quiet and clean. The cat isn't needy; she gives her humans personal space and can walk herself, thank you very much. Unlike the too-eager dog, winning a cat's affection takes time, patience, and trust. It's a hard-fought battle which makes its victory that much more special. On the other side, we have man's best friend. The ultimate companion, the dog is happy, affectionate and attentive. He protects the house and defends his humans. And, perhaps most importantly, he's always up for a snuggle. Research shows dogs are better for your health: dog owners are less lonely, have fewer mental health issues, and get more exercise. When searching for a pet companion, dog enthusiasts claim, canines beat out cats in every category that counts.  Arguing for the motion is Aaron Hancox. He's a filmmaker who has produced three documentaries about cats including the award-winning film Catwalk: Tales From the Cat Show Circuit Arguing against the motion is Alexandra Horowitz.

If you want to know canine psychologist Alexandra Horowitz' best advice for training a puppy, it can be summed up in one sentence: “Expect that your puppy will not be who you think, nor act as you hope.” That truth — which can both delight and confound new puppy caretakers — is at the center of her 2021 book, “The Year of the Puppy.” A longtime researcher of canine behavior, Horowitz realized she had never examined those critical first months of a dog's life. So in 2020, she started to observe litters from birth on. When the pandemic shut down the world, she brought one of those puppies into her already animal-centric home — and almost immediately had second thoughts. But adapting to Quiddity, their new pup, gave her fresh insight into doggie development. Ultimately, it reinforced her belief that human companions need to respect and enjoy these creatures that live with us but are fundamentally different. If all we do is focus on how to train the puppy, we miss them becoming themselves. It's a fascinating and validating conversation, so we pulled it from the archives for an encore performance during our spring member drive. Don't miss this conversation between Horowitz and fellow dog lover, MPR News host Kerri Miller. Guest: Alexandra Horowitz observes dogs for a living. Her research began more than two decades ago, studying dogs at play, and continues today at her Dog Cognition Lab at Barnard College. Her latest book is “The Year of the Puppy.” To listen to the full conversation you can use the audio player above.  Subscribe to the MPR News with Kerri Miller podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts or RSS.

Between housetraining and playtime, the first year of a puppy's life is also marked by a burgeoning personality. Alexandra Horowitz, senior research fellow and head of the Dog Cognition Lab at Barnard College, Columbia University, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss her observations of her own puppy, Quid, and the major milestones dogs make in the first year of their lives. Her book is “The Year of the Puppy: How Dogs Become Themselves.”

Alexandra Horowitz—a canine psychologist and authority on how dogs perceive the world—joins to talk about her latest book, ‘The Year of the Puppy,' and share her knowledge about the relationship between humans and our canine friends.

Alexandra Horowitz is a dog cognition researcher, professor and the head scientist at Barnard College's Dog Cognition Lab. Her latest book, The Year of the Puppy, follows her first experience raising a puppy. "Instead of following an instruction manual for a puppy, I wanted to follow the puppy," she writes. "By slowing down to observe the changes in our new charge from week to week, I hoped to make new sense of the dog's behavior in a way that is missed in a focus only on training. I wanted to keep a lens firmly on the puppy's point of view—how they begin to see and smell the world, make meaning of it, and become themselves." This hour, Horowitz reflects on her year with Quid, and she answers your questions.

Many dog owners get to enjoy knowing their pet from puppyhood to maturity. Turns out, that life cycle also has a lot to teach us.  New research that looks at how dogs age finds parallels between dogs and their human companions. For example, dogs are squirrelly when they are young and calm as they enter midlife. Changes to canine DNA mirror the changes in our own.  Could our best friends teach us how to age better — and maybe even live longer? That was the central question MPR News host Kerri Miller discussed with researchers at the Dog Aging Project on her daily show back in November of 2020. This Friday, on Big Books and Bold Ideas, she'll look at the other end of a dog's life, when she talks with canine researcher Alexandra Horowitz about her new book, “The Year of the Puppy.” Guests: Daniel Promislow is co-director of the Dog Aging Project and a biologist at the University of Washington. Kellyn McNulty is a veterinarian and researcher with the Dog Aging Project.

It's been a while since the Remnant featured a dog expert, but today, Dr. Alexandra Horowitz—a professor at Barnard College of Columbia University—joins the program to fill that void. Some seriously rank cynology ensues, as Jonah and Alexandra explore everything you could ever want to know about canine cognition. Do dogs have a unique friendship with humans, or are they just social parasites? Why do dogs react in different ways to different people? And are dog shows a stain on mankind?Show Notes:- Alexandra's webpage- Alexandra's new book, The Year of the Puppy- Alexandra's previous books: Inside of a Dog- Being a Dog- And Our Dogs, Ourselves- Alexandra: “What Does it Feel Like to Be a Dog?”- The Remnant with Michael H.

Alexandra Horowitz takes us inside the mind of a puppy. James Bridle introduces us to slime mold that can outwit the best human engineers. Justin Gregg makes the case that thinking like an animal is the key to living a good life. And Tom Mustill explains how a near-death encounter with a 30-ton whale led him to the scientists who are building Google Translate for animal languages. --- Download the Next Big Idea app to hear the Book Bites sampled in this episode: nextbigideaclub.com/app

It is always tempting to try to impress people and show them how fabulous you are – or your child is. However, there is a downside to appearing to be so exceptional. This episode begins with an explanation.

People have phobias about all sorts of things. Where do phobias come from? What's the difference between a fear and phobia? Can you do something about a phobia or must you live with it? Here to take a close look at phobias is Kate Summerscale author of The Book of Phobias & Manias : A History of Obsession (https://amzn.to/3e7vjcw). Dog owners like to think they know their pet pretty well. But do they? Not necessarily according to Alexandra Horowitz.

Few of us meet our dogs at just after they are born. The dog who will become an integral part of our family, our constant companion, and best friend, is born without us into a family of their own. A puppy's critical early development into the dog we come to know is usually missed entirely. Dog researcher Alexandra Horowitz aimed to change that with her family's new pup, Quiddity (Quid). In "The Year of the Puppy," Horowitz charts Quid's growth from wee grub to boisterous sprite, from her birth to her first birthday.

In her new book, dog researcher Alexandra Horowitz 'keeps a lens on the puppy's point of view, how they see and smell the world, make meaning of it, and become independent.'

Most books on puppies are dog-improvement manuals, guiding readers ‘How to Raise the Perfect Dog’ or how to achieve ‘Perfect Puppy in 7 Days.’ Alexandra Horowitz’s profound and totally delightful new book is not that type of book. It’s an unprecedented look at the complex, chaotic, fascinating, and often hilarious journeys of puppies becoming themselves. … Continue reading Ep. 49 – Dog Cognition Expert Alexandra Horowitz on the Quiddity of Puppies →

This week we talk to Alexandra Horowitz from the Dog Cognition Lab at Barnard College about her new book The Year of the Puppy: How Dogs Become Themselves. Horowitz's book examines how a dog's brain works and develops—how it dramatically changes during their first 12 months of life, her shifting perspective on dog cognition, and the vast differences between humans and dogs that we tend to overlook.Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/inquiringmindsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we are re-sharing one of our favorite episodes, a conversation with Alexandra Horowitz.    “I can drive my car off a cliff and just leave it where it lay, the most I'll get is a littering fine, and if you throw your dog off the cliff the punishment is actually pretty similar. That's because they're the same type of thing to the law. So, unless you change that status, and you have people of course, who are thinking that there should be a status of kind of living property that might give them more attributes than my car has or my chair has; and then there are individuals who think they should be given the status of legal persons, which isn't to say being people, but having rights of some sort. I think both of those are pretty intriguing offers. I think we're a little way off from doing that, but boy, either of those would be a massive improvement in our societal treatment of these creatures. “And of course, I don't think it's just restricted to dogs… It's been terrific to work with dogs for all these years, but I think this way about lots of non-human animals that we interact with, where we kind of get to use them sort of, for our sake. I would love to see some kind of sea change in thinking such that we don't get to use animals in the ways we do now, which are really abuses of animals.” – Alexandra Horowitz    If you have any questions for your dog, Alexandra Horowitz is a pretty good place to start. She's spent much of her life researching and writing about what it's like to be a dog.  She is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Inside of a Dog: What Dogs See, Smell, and Know; Our Dogs, Ourselves; Being a Dog: Following the Dog Into a World of Smell; and On Looking.  She is a professor at Barnard College, Columbia University, where she teaches seminars in canine cognition, creative nonfiction writing, and audio storytelling. As Senior Research Fellow, she heads the Dog Cognition Lab at Barnard. I wish this conversation had lasted all day long as I had about five thousand more questions for Alexandra - mostly, everything I've ever wanted to ask my dog. The time that we did have together was pretty amazing and felt like an absolute gift.
