Caractères de chiens

There is no doubt the documentary was interesting and did give a great insight into dogs and how they have evolved from predatory wolves to man's best friend. There was a lot of how guide/service dogs are selected and trained and as it was presented it was good. However I don't know if I saw an advert or a trailer that led me to believe it would be something else but as another review stated exactly the same disappointment I'm sure I must have. I thought it was going to be a documentary helping me explain why my dog does particular things and how I can communicate better with him. So for example it said dogs had developed the ability to look at their owners with "puppy eyes" by showing the whites of their eyes. But never expanded on why they would do this, what they were hoping to achieve and what they were trying to communicate. It said a service dog that barked wouldn't pass the test because restaurants wouldn't stand for it but never explained what different types of barking meant and how to interpret them to know my dog better. It was an interesting documentary if you want to know how service dogs are trained but not if you want to know if your dog's trying to tell you something.

I think I shouldn't start with this, but...i sometimes look at how people rate titles in percentage, almost never a documentary just the ones I think of being divisive, and for some reason I looked it up here, I still don't believe people gave this 1...I really would like to know why, maybe they are cats raised to hate or fear dogs..no, just monsters... So, the movie, difficult subject, needs 10 seasons 11 episodes a season and by the end at least half again, revised what changed and half new information. Focusing on one dog one story would not be sufficient, styles of different videos hard to compose together, feels like nothing new, a safe choice, a tv documentary of the 90s with some higher quality shots. The title isn't exactly proper for it, I can understand how it overlaps, I also was expecting something else. It is always great to see dogs, people who love them, them working together, like I mentioned before, please expect more from yourselves and explore their world broader, as new information, creativity and style etc. Goes it is not better than a 5, but it's theme is always 11 for me.

The title and description of the film made me think this would be an actual documentary about dogs psychology, but it is not as much.

This document fully focuses on what a training of a dog looks like, a dog that is supposed to end up as a companion for people who have some sort of disabilities.

The document does not do anything else, to be honest, and in the end I left it behind me without learning anything I would not know already about dogs.

I can not help but feel a bit disappointed. The document is cute, but it feels like a missed opportunity for something much more interesting and complex.

Inside the Mind of a Dog is a Netflix documentary about the minds of how dogs react and their relations with humans. The documentary is narrated by Rob Lowe and the interesting part is how dogs communicate and sense our emotions. Scientist have done experiments with support from various safe methods to learn the actions of dogs as our pets. I got to say as I was growing up I never wanted to have a pet and as a matter of fact I was afraid of them not till we adopted Spencer. Spencer has changed my mind and the way I think about pets and now he is my best friend. This show taught me several ways to help Spencer overcome any anxiety he may have. Most dogs can understand over 100 words and sleep most of the day but they are always there waiting for us when we get home. This was a great show to give a synapse of a dog's mind. Loved it.

Inside the Mind of a Dog offers a comprehensive collection of the latest studies and understanding into our fury friends' personalities, intelligence, and behaviors. This documentary develops in a way that is both entertaining and compelling.

Rob Lowe narrates a series of stories and interviews, from the history of canines to ongoing research, intertwined with the main story of the documentary - the development of service dogs from puppyhood to when they are graduated. Although I knew most of the recent research which was discussed, I did learn something, and believe most people will also find something new to take away. The connection between service dog and recipient is one that will make most viewers teary eyed.

This documentary is best watched with your dog(s) by your side.
