Do domestic dogs learn words based on humans' referential behaviour?
Some domestic dogs learn to comprehend human words, although the nature and basis of this learning is unknown. In the studies presented here we investigated whether dogs learn words through an understanding of referential actions by humans rather than simple association. In three studies, each model...

Some domestic dogs learn to comprehend human words, although the nature and basis of this learning is unknown.
