Have you ever wondered if your dog has a memory and remembers everything you experienced? Together, we'll answer this question and another about dog memory in this video by an animal expert. Do dogs have a memory or not? How many times do we look at our dog and wonder what he's thinking or if he'll remember the behavior I corrected him for the other day? Dogs have behaviors that can be similar to those of humans, but their brains obviously work differently. Obviously, our little furry friends store memories in their heads since they recognize us when we get home. Therefore, the answer to this question is yes, dogs have a memory. In the event that you are not a guardian, you will have also noticed that the dogs of your closest friends are able to recognize you when they see you. This is because they associate you with good behavior such as playing with them. Dogs learn the rules of coexistence and basic training commands by associating them with words and gestures. So when they see them lift a limb and you give them a treat, they know that by repeating that action they will be rewarded again, sealing episodes on our hard drive and giving us that all important experiential feeling. A dog's memory is based on a type of associative memory that, as its name suggests, allows us to associate certain things and turn them into a kind of memory. Basically, dogs are animals that are 100% encoded based on habits and repetition. For example, your dog might survive a fall from the balcony at home, but then won't want to go near that place again or will have reservations about doing so. He won't do so because he remembers the fatal episode itself, but rather because he has associated the place with pain and fear. The same goes for the leash you use to take him for a walk. It's normal for your dog to get excited every time you take him out, but this is because he associates this object with a moment of going out to stretch his legs. The good news is that with training and positive reinforcement, all associations can be changed, especially the negative ones. Do you know how many times you should walk your dog?

Dogs have both long term and short term memory. However, dogs work better with short term memory than with long term memory. Short term memory helps them develop an immediate action, reaction or behavior that does not necessarily represent information that must be stored for a long period of time. In fact, their short term memory lasts a maximum of two minutes. However, like any other animal, any knowledge that may later be necessary for survival could be recorded. As we explained earlier, associative memory allows them to associate an object, person or situation with a feeling, whether it be joy or fear. So we would be talking about dog's long term memory. It is worth noting that dogs senses are very closely related to their memory, since through their sense of smell or hearing, they can relate the smell of food or a person with a situation that they like or dislike. On the other hand, since their eyesight is less developed and it does not play such an important role in their memory.
