Caractères de chiens

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.

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.

A documentary on the thought processes, intelligence and personalities of dogs, examining their history and relationship with wolves, their domestication and uses in helping people. In particular, we see how dogs are selected and trained to be service dogs.

An interesting look into what makes man's best friend tick. Some decent insights, including looking back on dog's descent from wolves, domestication and breeding and how these shaped their personalities and uses.

The coverage of the selection and training to be service dogs was very interesting and ultimately quite emotional as we see the dogs get placed with various people with different issues, requiring dogs of varying personalities and abilities.

Not quite as profound as I was expecting though. I was expecting some major breakthroughs to be revealed but, unless you're unaware that dogs can be trained to help out humans, a lot of the stuff is hardly revolutionary.

Still, very interesting and who doesn't like to see footage of cute doggies living their best lives!

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.

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.
