Caractères de chiens

I may be focusing on the wrong thing here, however there are at least two, up close, slow motion scenes of humans letting their dog lick/tongue them IN the mouth. I'll say it again... Slow motion. It's absolutely repulsive and made me just turn it off. I have a dog that is my favorite thing ever in life. She is my BFF and child. I understand get "doggy kisses" when they lick you a little bit on the lips then you turn away, but this is literally pathologically disgusting, as dogs eat feces and there's no reason to ever make out with your dog!!! Perhaps this was a good thing because the reviews indicate that there isn't a lot of science-based content within this film, and I would have been disappointed anyhow. Note to filmmaker: Maybe next time don't put it so close, in our faces, slowed down while dogs and humans tongue one another. So gross, I can't.

There is no doubt the documentary was interesting and did give a great insight into dogs and how they have evolved from predatory wolves to man's best friend. There was a lot of how guide/service dogs are selected and trained and as it was presented it was good. However I don't know if I saw an advert or a trailer that led me to believe it would be something else but as another review stated exactly the same disappointment I'm sure I must have. I thought it was going to be a documentary helping me explain why my dog does particular things and how I can communicate better with him. So for example it said dogs had developed the ability to look at their owners with "puppy eyes" by showing the whites of their eyes. But never expanded on why they would do this, what they were hoping to achieve and what they were trying to communicate. It said a service dog that barked wouldn't pass the test because restaurants wouldn't stand for it but never explained what different types of barking meant and how to interpret them to know my dog better. It was an interesting documentary if you want to know how service dogs are trained but not if you want to know if your dog's trying to tell you something.

It's less about the mind of a dog and more about the training of service animals.

It's touching when they meet their dogs.

It's interesting but also not that interesting if you want to know what your dog is thinking like the title would suggest. I'm pretty sure there is a wealth of dog behaviour that could have been covered. Like they mention that the dogs tail wags to the right when it knows someone. We should have had far more of this rather than endless hours of training schools for service animals.

It's an interesting documentary but also not that interesting based on what the title promises.

A very informative (albeit not too heavy on the science - which I would have preferred) look into the absolutely the most accepting life form to have evolved on this planet.

From how they have evolved and how our training methods have evolved wot make the best use of their abilities and how we could do better to be better friends to our best friends, this documentary looks into a bit of everything that is Dog.

Whether you love dogs, are afraid of them, are unsure about them, this will be a worthy watch that will help us understand what makes these bundles of delight so successful at playing our heartstrings.

I like dogs, and I absolutely love my pup to death. So I was pretty excited to watch this, thinking it would be an in-depth view into the latest scientific research that is surrounding dogs behavior, psychology, etc. But alas, they only barely scratch the surface on these topics and instead the core of this documentary is to show how service dogs are trained. It's fairly well done, has some heart and decently interesting information but there is nothing groundbreaking or innovative about it. So I was a bit disappointed because of my expectations going in. But if you know before you go, and you like dogs, this is fairly enjoyable.
