If you start scolding a dog caught red-handed for bad behavior, it will probably make a guilty face and understandable eyes.
Many dog breeders fall for this trick, especially those who are accustomed to endowing animals with human feelings.
Experts have explained what is really hidden behind this expression and whether dogs can feel guilty towards their owners.
Shame on a dog
Even if the naughty dog makes eyes at you, don’t rush to be touched and pretend that your pet has realized everything and won’t do it again.
A sad dog's face does not mean that it is ashamed. Experts reassure that at this time the animal is experiencing emotions of a different kind.
So far, no one has been able to confirm that a dog can feel guilt or shame in front of a person.
The thing is that dogs and people have different ideas about what is good and what is bad.
Shame is a very difficult thing for a dog to deal with, and often at such moments the pet does not even understand that he has done something bad.
But if the dog is caught in the act of mischief and the owner is going to convince the pet that it should not behave like that anymore, the dog will really start to grimace.
But not out of shame or remorse, but out of fear of being punished.
However, this does not mean that educational work should not be carried out.
