"Dog Genius"

The documentary "Dog Genius" it`s a perfect video to learn something more about dog intelligence and their special way to relate with people. We can see many cases, experiments (made by professionals) and another stuff related with the development of dogs in their enviornment. As we can see on the documentary, wolves have evolved into many different genetic lines of dogs, actually domesticated by the men, although, the dogs that actually live among us, remain some characteristics from their ancestors (like smelling trough long distances) and also, dogs have been improved by the men in some characters helpful for us. In my career, I previously have seen the "fast mapping", one of the first types of reasoning, developed in babies and also in our canine friends. This says to us that dogs really have the capacity to think, maybe in a more primitive way than humans can, opening new frontiers in the areas of the animal behaviour investigation. Returning to their special and awesome feature to smell, in the documentary we could see the “layers smelling capacity”, the way how dogs can separate the many odors around them, being able to identify each one, even if their are exposed to more than one. The “stars” smelling, are the “bloodhounds”, this breed is used by the police to improve their investigations. They actually use them to follow some odors related with, for example, a criminal.
Another interesting thing we could see, was the “k-9 camp”, a training center where dogs are trained by professionals since firsts days of their lifes. The way how the trainers does, is stimulating their senses of many ways, for example, they put the puppies on warm towels, stimulate their social sense putting another animals around them (like cats), and even they carry puppies to a market. The main objective of all this things is to achieve a bigger development of the animals brain.
Finally, this documentary helped me to find some interesting and rare information about dogs and the way how they evolved into a more friendly kind of animal, a kind of animal that live among us, making with humans special bonds of feelings and work.
