  | | AUGUST 7, 2016 |  | | Dog reality | Humans are very easy to train when it comes to teaching them abstract concepts. Almost everything we learn in school starts out that way — words, dates, math. Eventually, we learn to apply that information to the real world, but a kid may go years only knowing that "Z" is for zebra without ever actually seeing a real zebra.
You can show a child a picture of a toaster and tell them, "Never stick a fork in this. You could kill yourself," and they will get the idea and (ideally) remember it at some future point. Even such complicated things as medicine or flying an airplane or even rocket science all start out as abstract ideas of words and formulas.
Needless to say, dogs do not learn this way at all... |  | | | | © Copyright 2016 Cesar's Way, Inc. All rights reserved.  | |
