How many "dog years" equal one "human year"?

Question

Factor human year = dog years?

Answer 1

It is a common belief that one human year is equal to seven dog years, but this is not really accurate. Rather, during the first two years of a dog’s life, each year is more equivalent to about ten and a half human years. Puppies grow both physically and socially at an amazing rate, but at the other end of life, they also become senior citizens at an accelerated rate. For many, particularly larger breeds, the transition to old age occurs at about age seven. Typically, a dog’s entire life span is squeezed into about thirteen years, just one more year than it takes for the Year of the Dog to roll around again.

No 7 is wrong!!!!!!!!
Puppies become adults in 2 years.See this is a better formula to use: Figure 101/2 for each human year! But only for the first 2 years...After that every human year equals 4 dog years. For egzample if you are 8 years old, you'd be 45 in dog years! Pretty cool huh?!

8 Years In Dog Years

Answer 8

The owner of the dog needs to know how to "operate" the dog, same way you can get into a car that's in perfect running order but if you don't know how to drive you won't have much luck making the car go anywhere. If the owner doesn't know how to maintain the training, the dog will soon become untrained again. Read more here https://tinyurl.im/sNSHZ

People seem to think that once a dog is trained, that's it. Not true. You must reinforce the dog's training every single day in some way. It's best if the owner and the dog go together to get trained. As a professional trainer once said to me "We can train any dog in 2 days. It takes longer to train the owners

Answer 10

From Wikipedia:

Dog years refer to a popular myth that household pets—specifically dogs and cats—age seven years for each human year. For example, a dog of age 9 would be said to be "63 in dog years".

In technical terms, this is not correct: Most household pets do not age in any linear correspondence with human aging. Dogs and cats age much more quickly in their early life than in their later life relative to humans. For example, the human equivalent of a one-year-old cat or dog is actually between about 10 and 15 years—a one-year-old dog or cat has generally reached its full growth and is sexually mature, although it might still be lanky and need to fill in a more mature musculature, similar to human teenagers. The second year is equivalent to about another 3 to 8 years in terms of physical and mental maturity, and each year thereafter is equivalent to only about 4 or 5 human years.
