Dog Informative Speech

As the saying goes, a dog is a man’s best friend. The dog is a loving companion to a man. He is happy to go everywhere with his master. He shows his affection for his master by wagging his tail and licking his hand or face. This timeless relationship continues to evolve into new kinds of human-dog interactions that increasingly benefit society.

I chose to write my informative speech about Golden Retrievers and my purpose of this speech was to give the class more information about the dog breed Golden Retrievers. In this self-evaluation I will be evaluating two of my strengths and two of my weaknesses to better improve by public speaking skills. My two strengths would include using and citing multiple sources and having effective transitions. My two weaknesses would include inadequate direct eye contact and having a weak introduction.

The purpose of this report is the RSPCA has assignment me to create a training manual to be given to people who adopt cats and dogs. The animal I’ve chosen to do for this task is a dog. The creation of this training manual requires a complete understanding of each theory and process of learning which includes providing an informative report with clear instructions for owners to use when training their new pets.

For millions of years dogs have remained a constant companion of man. Bred from the aggressive and formidable Gray Wolf tens of thousands of years ago the domestic dog now lives in many homes across the world. Where in the far distant past the domestic dog was bred as a guard animal, a beast of burden, and even a food source the dogs of today are bred for a far more endearing purpose-companionship and love. Finding a pet dog that is more of a joy than a chore is necessary when asking: How much is that puppy in the window?

Though usually regarded as man’s best friend no one really thinks of a dog has one of the greatest tools known to mankind. They have helped us hunt, defend territory, and now aid us by being our ears. Though there are many abilities that the human body possesses one of the more important abilities is our ability to hear sound and allow us to communicate with ease. This is not the case with deaf people. The communication gap between a deaf person and a hearing person is unreal because most hearing people have absolutely no idea what sign is and much less about how to use it. But, thanks to hearing dogs we can bridge the gap a little closer. Allowing a person to basically hear their own surroundings. Allowing a person metaphorically without ears to hear and react to anything and everything that goes on around them. Not to mention the type of companionship gained through having a

II. We have a lot to learn from Dogs. Dogs are pack oriented. His methods with the dog/human pack are easy when you understand the world from a dog’s point of view. Energy is how the human side works.

The book Dogs Don't Bite When A Growl Will Do: What Your Dog Can Teach Your About Living A Happy Life can reevaluate what the human concept of life is all about on an everyday basis. How we approach each other in our everyday life as human beings is being compared to how dogs react to different situations. The interactions that we have with others don’t compare to a dogs reactions at all when meeting a new person. A dog could care less about what somebody looks like or if they seem harmful in anyway, the only thing their worried about is the person right by their side at the time. The way we approach one another and how we communicate when we first meet is completely different than how a dog would approach someone new. As humans we can tend

As I kneeled beside the crate, he raised his head for just a second, and his tail moved two or three times. Mt wife (Joyce) walked over to stand beside me looked at the dog and said, “Hi Mr. Bobo you’re looking good today.” The little guy went nuts, rushing to the front of his crate sticking his nose through the opening in the wires. Looking us as if to say, "Pet me, pet me. His shot tail wagging

This experimented sought out to answer the question, “Will a dog be able to sense when its owner is coming home during five days of routine departure and arrival and five days of non-routine departure and arrival?” This lead to the creation of a hypothesis, “If a dog’s owner departs from the same location to arrive home for a week and departs from a different location to arrive home for another week then the dog will show signs of searching for the owner such as barking at windows, stillness, and sniffing the air no matter when the owner departs and arrives because the dog will use its innate sense of smell to track the owner and use pack mentality to detect when the owner is arriving.” in order to craft an experiment. Based upon the data that

Hand signaling is a visual cue combined usually with verbal directions. Dogs have been known to be more responsive to hand signals which makes it easier to train them. This is a form of sign language between an owner and dog. By using hands to signal, it tells a dog a desired task to perform. Hand signals are also connected directly to body language which allows a dog to read its’ owner without words needed.

As mentioned before, dogs use their verbal communication to interact with one another. An important verbal characteristic for a dog and their owner is a dog’s bark. Barking is natural and typically the first response of a dog who is fearful or anticipating a threat. For the most part dogs will generally try to avoid conflict; but if your dog feels like another dog is approaching his area or territory, he will attempt to warn off the other dog with his assertive bark. The pitch and frequency of their bark is also an indicator of danger. Overall, a low pitched fast rate bark indicates threat, anger, and the possibility of aggression.

There are at least two plausible explanations for dogs eliciting contagious yawning during the anti-social condition in the present study. The manipulation involved the anti-social experimenter ignoring the dog and giving the dog a command without giving any reward in return. This was aimed to elevate the dogs’ stress level during the interaction. The yawning, therefore, could be a response to acute stress as a displacement behaviour (Beerda, Schilder, Van Hooff, De Vries, & Mol, 1998; Hennessy, Morris, & Linden, 2006). Previous studies have demonstrated that dogs yawn in uncertain or novel situations as a response to mildly heightened stress (Beerda et al., 1998; Buttner & Strasser, 2014; Hennessy et al., 2006). Buttner and Strasser (2014) suggest that dogs may perceive human yawning to be a signal of stress and thus the contagious yawning elicited by the dogs is likely to be a displacement mechanism to reduce arousal. Yawning has also been associated with psychological tension or mild stress in non-human primates (Deputte, 1994; Paukner & Anderson, 2006). A study in macaques for example, have evidence to suggest that the “social

Dogs communicate with humans through facial expressions like human children. A study published in the journal of Current Biology showed, dogs have the same communicative ability of a 6 month to 2-year-old child
