myLot Discussions | | | Pavlov's Dog | | I am sure that many dog lovers and none dog lovers have heard of Pavlov and how he had done the experiment with bell ringing and dogs and how he got them to drool on command..(though why you want a dog to drool on command is anyones guess).If you haven't, here is some info on this guy and his experiment: http://nobelprize.org/educational_games/medicine/pavlov/readmore.htmlNow I don't want my dog to drool on command, but wondered if I could get her to come to me on demand. So, I started with a bell and rang it every time I fed her and I gave her treats for when I rang it between meals..After just a couple of days, when Zoe was in the otehr room, I rang the bell and she came to me..[em]happy[/em]But to make sure that it will work when she is distracted is my goal..Because though she stays in our own yard, we have a neighbor dog that isn't very smart and will bark at us, and then of course Zoe chases her..We also have another neighbors dog who comes over and visits us..One time this dog came over, I waited until both dogs were in the other room and I rang the bell and Zoe came to me again..[em]w00t[/em] (she would never come to me if the other dog was in the... | |
| | Dog, The Loyal Animal | | Dogs r smarter than most creatures. They r easy to educate. Well-educated dogs r sometimes used as watchdogs. A watchdog can render a creature that is 5 to 6 times bigger ineffective. It is interesting, though, that these dogs, which can bcum terrifyingly wild in times of danger, pose no harm to their owners. In the face of a threat, they put their lives in jeopardy to save their owners & under no circumstances do they abandon them. The existence of hundreds of dog species of different colors & sizes is one of the signs of Allah's matchless creation. In the Quran, our Lord's unique creation is related as follows:"He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. How could He have a son when He has no wife? He created all things and He has knowledge of all things. That is Allah, your Lord. There is no god but Him, the Creator of everything. So worship Him. He is responsible for everything. (al-An'am: 101-102)Let's consider the following: assume that u have neva seen a dog b4 & somebody asks u to draw a pic of one. Would u b able to accomplish this? Of course not. No one could do this.

| | Anti-Loitering security? | | Does anyone know what I'm talking about? The first thing that would come to mind is like a dog whistle. I remember being in the States and at the 7-11, or convenience store, they have a little thing on the outside. It makes a really annoying sound if you're near it. But you can only hear it if you're young. I guess it would go up to about a teenager. I remember trying to figure it out as a 7 year old because my mom didn't hear anything.Anyways, it's just there so that 'troublesome' kids don't hang out by the front of the store. I personally think it's really weird, but at the same time I guess it would be the best solution for the problem.. If I had an alternative, I'd mention it. | |
