We all think that dogs are very jealous animals, and overseas research has indeed confirmed this view. Dogs are jealous, so don’t underestimate them. Regarding the jealousy of dogs, let’s take a look at the research results of scientists.
Professor Lanci from the University of Vienna in Austria said: "People who own dogs have probably had this experience: dogs will feel jealous of other dogs or people." She and her colleagues 43 dogs were recruited for experiments, which showed that dogs would react to emotional upset. When a dog sees another dog doing a trick and is rewarded, but does the same trick himself and gets no reward, he will stop doing it again. A similar experiment recently showed that monkeys and chimpanzees also feel angry when they are treated differently. However, dogs are not as sensitive to unequal treatment as primates.
Lanci’s team paired up two dogs that were already familiar with each other to conduct experiments. They were asked to place their front paws on the hands of the staff and were rewarded with black bread and sausages. . If neither dog wins the reward, they will agree to continue the above behavior; but if only one dog wins the reward, the dog that does not win will stop participating in the experiment and will instead scratch, yawn, lick its mouth, and hide. Actions such as the gaze of the other dog and the experimenter.
The dog doesn’t seem to pay attention when he gets the bread but another dog gets a better reward (dachshund); or when the other dog gets a reward despite not doing anything. Dogs' jealousy and maintaining a certain degree of equality may have a lot to do with their gregarious nature.
Wolves or wild dogs hunt in packs, all raising young. In this situation, if you don't keep reciprocating, you will only give others an advantage. Deva, a primatologist at Emory University in the United States, believes that this kind of jealousy is essentially a kind of resentment about unequal treatment, which occurs in animals that are accustomed to living in groups. He said: "When a dog completes a task and does not win a reward, but the other dog on the left and right does win, its reaction will be more enthusiastic than when no other dog is present. If it does not, and neither does the other dog, it will also Just don’t pay attention. This is obviously a social reaction.”
Therefore, when there are many dogs or other animals in the home, the owner must maintain a stable relationship and not let the dog go. The dog feels unfairGot paid.
