Dogs judge you just like cats, but only for convenience.

There are people who are more dogs and others who choose to share their lives with cat. The truth is that while they are great companions, they are very different animals, so it makes sense that we might feel more close to one than the other. For example, cats tend to be more independent, but also affectionate in their own way. Of course, those who live with one know that sometimes they have to risk being convicted. But be careful, as with dogs we can also feel like we are being watched and judged, at least when our skills can be more or less useful to them.

This is the conclusion of a study recently published in behavioral process scientists from Japanese Society of Sciences and Kyoto University. In it, they studied group behavior 30 dogs while some people tried open a jar

In some cases they opened easily, in others not. After that, they will try again under the watchful eye of the dogs, who will only focus on those who previously achieved it with ease. However, this behavior was observed only if there was food in the jar. If it was empty, they didn’t care. After all, they won’t be all that different from cats.

Dogs judge if you’re incompetent

The accusing faces of cats when they seem to be judging us are classic. They are not as common in dogs, but these scientists wanted to check if something like this happens.

So they did the aforementioned experiment, in which the human participants, as crude as it sounds, were divided into competent and incompetent. So they saw that when it came to food for them, dogs were more likely to turn to the competent, leaving the incompetent as a lost cause. This does not mean that they love them less. Your dog will continue to appreciate you even if you’re a little clumsy. But if there is someone else at home, he may prefer to approach that person for certain tasks.

But another, even more interesting fact is extracted from this study. And that’s what bitches they condemned people more than men. This is interesting because sex is usually given little attention in this kind of animal behavior research. Now we know that this is an important detail, at least in relation to dogs.

Therefore, if you have a dog at home, practice opening boats when she is not there. If not, then nothing happens either, but then do not be upset because of their disinterest.
