Puppies and dogs can and do learn from watching other animal cohorts, especially if they’re motivated and/or curious and the learning gets them something they want or like.
In this video, a board-and-train puppy watched my Border Collie drink from the bird bath. Even though I have a bucket of fresh water outside for dogs daily, my BC chooses the bird bath for her source of outdoors hydration day-in and day-out. So when she showed my little board-and-train how to do it, I had my camera ready to record a bit of how ELSE dogs learn besides from the human part of their reltaionship.
Dogs learn in many ways, and sometimes they learn behaviors that suit them just fine, while maybe they don’t suit us humans as well. It’s all a chess game with our furry kids! But don’t underestimate their ability to teach each other how-to secrets. 🙂
