Look up what?

That's the second time I've seen this question in YA... and I'd never heard of it before... where did you hear it?
BTW.. no it isn't true ... (obviously).. otherwise most dogs would never see their owner's faces.
Do you mean that their eyes are physically incapable of moving up when their head is staying still or that they can't lift their heads to look up?
Both are incorrect anyway.
There is a similar technique which is used to train a dog to sit though..if you hold the treat above the dog's head and move it towards the dog's back they then have to sit down in order to follow the movement of the treat.. when they sit, you reward them.... but they can look up to see the treat to start with.

what the hell would they see if they couldn't look up?
surely they don't just stare a the floor all the time?
Most dogs are quite low to the ground, I think the nature of what they are & how they evolved required them to have as much of a 360 degree view of everything as possible that's why they have eyes on the sides of their heads and an ability to bend their necks in most positions.
Try holding a cat up above its head, or an open hose.
Dogs can look up!

No, it's not true. I know because my dogs sit in the garden looking up at the pigeons on my roof!

My dog watches the ceiling fan. She can defiantly look up.

No not true
If you have a dog, hold a treat up and see for yourself

of course they can! mine chase birds, hot air balloons, and fireworks as they fly through the sky! they also have to look up at me when they are showing for their treat-they are only small so its a long way to look up! but they do!

Oh man,,, please don't tell my retrievers that they can't look up and mark the birds I shoot anymore.
A well trained duck dog never stops looking up and scanning the sky.

No, it's not true. Dogs can look up, and the rifle at the Winchester Pub DOES work, lol...Dogs have necks that bend, and eyes that move, they can look up (mine does it all the time.)
