Kevin Behan asks the question "what is the nature of the dog?" Is the dog and our understanding of nature all figured out? Natural Dog Training believes that something profound is missing from the conversation.

  • Do this experiment. Pet a dog. Write down results. Compile the data.

  • My claim is as valid as Frans De Waals' claim that Bonobos are the most sexual ape simply by virtue of his observations. You are instinctively selective in what you consider valid.

  • What animal is more sexual than dog? Refute it if you can.

  • I suppose you challenged behaviorism on that same basis when it dubbed the Bonobo to be the most sexual and social ape. Dogs make Bonobos look chaste in comparison. Name a more sexual animal than the dog.

  • Oh but I thought in Ridley's "Red Queen" the theory was that sexuality evolved to offset parasitic infection, but then dogs, the most sexual animal on earth, are out there eating you-know-what which supposedly decreases their fitness.

    Why didn't cats eat you-know-what go on to live and then transmit this supposedly adaptive behavior to their offspring? Every statement you make is contradicted by the natural record.

  • Why do dogs eat you-know-what?

    Why do dogs herd sheep?

    Why do dogs hunt birds all day?

    Why the canine copulatory tie?

    Why do dogs like car rides?

    Why do little dogs "dominate" bigger dogs?

    Why doesn't OC train search/rescue monkeys rather than human/dog teams? It would be far safer.

    Why only attack dogs?

    The list is as long as the things dog do.

  • Your claim. It's up to you to produce data.

  • You made the claim. It is up to you to gather the data that support your claim.

  • DeWaal can tell you exactly how many times, how often, what type of sexual activity, when at what times the apes he studied engaged in these behaviors.

    You are simply making claims without data.

  • You made the claim, so the onus is on you to provide evidence of your claim.

    You have no evidence...so your claim is worth nothing.

  • So you have no evidence to back up your claim about dog's sexuality. Just like you have no evidence to back any of your other claims.

    Where is the documented evidence that dogs are the most sexual animal on earth? How did you come to this conclusion? How many animals did you survey?

  • Every statement you make is contradicted by the evidence. Other than spinning and taking a shotgun question approach - like a creationist - you really have nothing to back up any of your ideas.
