Many dogs discover they are the father or mother of a companion or owner through sexual intercourse. This occurs when the dog enjoys intercourse with the human’s partner, and the human assumes the same sex as your dog.

If this happens in a comfortable situation, with no stress or danger involved, then it is a clear sign. The human and pet should be happy and enjoying each other’s company before this happens.

If this does not happen in a comfortable, safe environment, then it can be a sign that something is wrong.

Signs that something is not right include: no sex drive, no desire to stay at home or elsewhere, difficulty mounting or settling on any Breed-specific Sex-Specific Interest-Based Exercise (such as hiking or fetching), and/or continuous need for socialization to identify another sex.

Behavior

A lot of dogs go through stages of copying or mimicking their human parent’s behavior. This can be a little strange, as parents don’t always match up their behaviors.

Sometimes, when a human parent is trying to soothe their child, they may also act out in the same way. Other times, when a human parent ishes their child and holds them in their arms, that same person doesn’t hold them as much.

It is common for children to copy what parents do. If you make an impact on your child’s behavior, make an effort to continue to influence it. Children are composed of protein and wire structure just like your own.

If you notice your dog is copying some of your behaviors, try starting with small steps. If you need to change what you are doing, work on it slowly or they will stop and you will lose the ability to influence behavior.

Touch

A lot of dogs identify their human parent through touch. This can be through physical contact, like when they go for a walk or sit and play with them, or it can be through olfaction.

Olfaction is the process by which we humans smell things, like when we detect the scent of a food and know it’s good for you. Dogs have an olfactory system, too, so identifying food smells is a way to find comfort in your life again and again.

When dogs feel comfortable in their surroundings and feel secure, they often touch what feels like their previous owners. This may be through any kind of clothing or substances that seem familiar or special to them.

It may also be through places and things that seem special to them, like someone had a special meal at home or something they enjoyed was done at home.

Smell

There is a reason why many dogs choose their human parent over another species of dog. It has to do with smell.

Human babies get their smell from the amniotic fluid that surrounds and envelops the baby in the womb. The scent of the baby’s mother is a part of this fluid.

This remains true even though the baby grows and loses its scent. The new human parents are always happy to cuddle their new puppy, and it is what makes them happy that they chose this puppy as their own.

This is not just for socialization purposes; these newly adopted puppies do not have any old memories of other dogs, so they don’t know how to interact with other pets. This makes life as a pet very hard until they learn how to be friendly with other animals.

Sight

Most dogs begin life with no idea what sight means, or how to get it. Luckily, this can change quickly.

Many animals that are blind did not know what sight was until they were rescued. Some were taken in by people who had cats, but didn’t teach them how to see until they were puppies.

Others were discovered as kittens and treated as special needs animals. Many times, this happens when the animal is adopted into a home with other pets.

If you know of an animal that does not appear to be sick, but may be hard to understand, may have unexplained injuries, or if you think it may need a separate room or house because of its condition, this is the reason to find them.

Taste

Having a baby is one of the most beautiful experiences in life. You two find yourselves falling in love again, building your relationship back to how it was before. You find new things about each other that make you love each other more.

And then, after the baby is born, you both learn what it takes to keep him or her happy and safe.

That’s how many people have babies.

But for some dogs, it seems like the experience is more of a switch-back-to-toddler feeling after they finish nursing their baby. They enjoy being mommys for a little bit, but then they want to be daddies!

This happens occasionally, and usually in older dogs.

Hearing

There is a lot of interest in hearing these days. There are special tricks you can learn to make yourself more Hearing impaired. You can even purchase! Bluetooth hand-held devices that allow you to hear sounds are now common.

Dogs have a good sense of hearing and are recommendedly tuned-in to it. If you notice when your dog is quiet for a minute, it may be that he is listening to you more clearly than other sounds in the house.

If you notice your dog isn’t as readily tuned-in as other pets, it may be because she needs help with this skill. Many dogs begin losing their hearing at around age 6-8, so this starts very early on.

If you think your dog has lost some of his hearing, there are ways to help them remain tuned in. Buy them a little device that they can put on their hip or shoulder to keep them connected through the senses.

Brain size

When a dog meets its human parent, the first thing that happens is the puppy jumps on its human and tries to get as close as possible to the mother. This is called socializing the dog at this stage.

If the puppy does not like the human parent, it may try to shake or nip or even bite them. This is normal behavior and does not mean the puppy isnt got.

If the puppy stays healthy and happy, it may repeat a pattern of behavior that was seen in its mother and father. For example, if the father was playful and readful, then the puppy may be curious and readful. If one was protective and alert, then maybe they are independent. If one was playfull and interactive, then maybe they are more like an owner’s “funny” self rather than a child-like person.

To identify your dog as a pet of theirs, look for these things in their behavior.

Development delay

Both humans and dogs experience a development delay when the fetus or baby is not fully developed, which is referred to as a developmental delay.

This can be serious for both human and dog! The condition is known as preterm orancaion (or preterm birth), and it occurs between weeks complete birth to just before it begins.

Some times, this happens in dogs too! Many times, the cause is the same for both dogs-a lack of exposure to their human parent.

If your dog has a developmental delay, you should consider whether your dog was ever exposed to another dog during development or if this was the cause.

If you think this may be the case, you should consider keeping your dog with an onlyly friendly family member to see if they are able to socialize with other dogs.
