I had a discussion in another forum and i wanted to know the opinion of the people here
This lady was in an elevator with her dog and the neighbor got it with a car seat for his kid (they dont say if the kid was in the car seat or not), the dog started barking and the neighbor told her "i think he is barking to the seat"
The lady asked in the forum how to solve that problem, some people answered to "introduce" the car seat to the dog since it seems that the dog was afraid of the car seat falling into his head
I think that since the object does not have any energy (or is moving) the dog will not care about it at all, no energy sensed, no danger, i said that maybe he was barking at the neighbor because the dog senses the neighbor does not trust the dog
The people at that forum had other stories to back up their need to "introduce" unanimated object that dont move to a dog (if is a bicycle, skate or car i agree but not something it does not move), they sais they know dogs barking at boxes or even a grill that was not there the day before
I told them that a dog is not like a human, they smell first, hear second and THEN see third, the human is the other way, they see first and everything is second, the dog will sense and smell things the human cant, maybe there was a bug annoying the dog and because the human didnt see anything then they think the dog is just barking to an object and they have to "introduce" the object to the dog
I think that if thats the case then the dog will be barking to every single object he has not seen before, not even talk about all the street things that have not been introduced to him the first time he goes out, i think and seen that the first thing the dog does is smell the object to study, but ONLY will bark at the object if it moves suddenly
Do you think a dog can bark to an unanimated object just because was not there before or has not seen it in the pastjust like a car seat?
