You can train any animal?

Just understand what he wants in return. Without giving something to get something else in place, there is no learning. All have limitations, but classical conditioning is possible to do much. Even with insects.
What is the difference between human reason and animal?
We have the ability to think long term, analyzing situations and fake emotions. It is impossible for the animals. The animals lie or can not handle, for example. They only think about the immediate, the reward and punishment.

Owners say that their dogs get their personalities. Make sense?
It is a relationship of mutual influence. It has been shown that a sportsman will look for a dog that likes to work out, while an elderly will seek a quieter animal. But of course, the owner influences much more than a parent influences a child. As a child relates to several people, the dog generally stands alone, conditioning the owner or the family environment.

Her dog, a Estopinha became famous on Facebook by using Skype [conference program]. As you taught her to do that?
As I travel a lot, created a contraption for us to communicate. She presses a button, get a snack and can open Skype. The cool thing is that she loved. Sometimes I'm home and she still goes to the computer. She is always learning something new and to already know that is a celebrity. When I'm in a lecture, she knows the cheers are for her. People find us on the street and go straight to interact with it.
