DOGS ARE SO JEALOUS
DOGS suffer intense jealousy along with a range of other humanlike emotions, according to a new study.
Researchers found many dogs clearly object when owners have new human partners and will often sit between them as uninvited chaperones to ruin romantic moments.
They say the evidence from a survey of 1,000 pet owners challenges the belief that only man and chimpanzees experience jealously and pride.
Dr Paul Morris, of Portsmouth University, said: "The data shows that animals have rich emotional lives."

Answer 3

He probably does fancy her, its a bit dodgy. I nearly split my sides bout 3 years ago when my mate was dog sitting for his aunty. She had a pedigree german shepard in white, he was about a year old at the time, so still a puppy, but a big puppy.
Anyway, he was plying with him, not literally, in the garden rolling around. Then all of a sudden he tried to mount him from behind and start to pump his a@#e !
So there ya go, tell your friend to watch her a@#e literally, especially if you have a big dog !

Answer 4

Maybe your dog knew her in a past life..... in her past life. Sure, she gives out good vibes and your dog is picking that up.

I knew a female dog that growled at this guy she met for the first time. He was a friend of the dog's owner and deliberetly sat between the two on the couch grumbling all the time. It was weird..... but maybe the dog knew something that my friend did not.

Answer 5

There are a bunch of things you should know about dog training but we are going to discuss what I feel are some the most important. Keep in mind that these are only some of the things you should know. Go here http://OnlineDogTraining.enle.info/?2lK1

1. Repetition is the number 1 principle of dog training. Dogs just like humans learn by doing things over and over in order to get better.

2. Dog Training can and should be fun for both you and your new pet.

3. Training sessions should always be short but sweet. I never work a dog more than 15 minutes in a session to keep from losing the dog's attention. You should train you dog at least once a day but never more than three formal sessions a day.

4. Your goal should be that each training session is just a little bit better than the last one. You need to always strive to make the training better, slowly. I mention this because quite often I see people who do daily training sessions but the dog never gets better and it is not the dogs fault.

5. Having patients is very important in dog training. Losing your temper does not work with a canine it simply makes things worse.

6. Exercise is very important in the training process to get rid of all the dogs nervous energy.

7. Taking your pet for walks is very important because it develops serotonin which gives your dog a feeling of well being.

8. Always be sure to give your dog a bunch of praise in your training. It is your dog's paycheck for doing a great job.

9. Never hit your dog. I have heard people say I never hit my dog instead I roll up a magazine and swat it. It's the same thing... hitting is hitting.

10. After each training session be sure to do something that your dog will enjoy. Take it for a walk, throw the ball or maybe even rub its belly. Just do something that makes the dog look forward to the next training session.

These are things that I teach my dog training students as well as my dog training clients. I hope these things will give you something to think about when training your dog. Spend some time training your dog daily and you will both reap the benefits.

Answer 6

Dogs cannot feel for humans in the same sexual way that a human can love another human...she's probably a really good person because one thing animals can do is sense people's inner souls.
This is perfectly normal!

Answer 7

I had a female cat that loved women. She was very shy with all men but any woman and she is there begging to be pet. So yeah, I think my lesbian kitty and your dog obviously have the hots for people.

Answer 8

I had a dog that would growl nad bark whenever my girlfriend so mauch as hugged me, but I was the primary caregiver for the dog. Your situation is interesting. Your gf must have real animal attraction.

Answer 9

humans can fancy pets, so i guess it could go the other way around. Have you ever seen those programmes about people in in love with animals, literally?? You never know

Answer 10

Yes, I believe pets can fancy humans. My partner and I think we have a lesbian cat. Furr Furrs loves me to bits, she sits on my lap comes to me all the time for cuddles and love. If my male partner comes near hear, she runs away. One time when my partner was shouting at me, she attacked him, clawing his back something rotten and biting into his shoulder, completely unprovoked by him (apart from his shouting at me-- that'll teach 'im!!!) lol

Answer 11

Yes. It's possible. My dog likes my mom the best out of my family and I don't quite know why. I just kinda deal with it. Are you the one that feeds him, takes him on walks, and rubs his belly? If it's your girlfriend that does all of these things then that explains why he prefers her over you. Because she takes care of him.
